Re: recommendation for HF rig

It does not. AX.25 allows for multiple users, Vara is one at a time as far as I know. KE8GRY

Collision avoidance?
I know how packet radio deals with collision avoidance: poorly. How does VARA (specifically FM) deal with it? Orv W6BI

Thank you. I have installed the Icom driver for ports. Also, I discovered Windows 11 Sound Settings has a line "More settings". When you click that it takes you to the familiar settings for the CODEC

Re: recommendation for HF rig
I have a lot of rigs. Receive audio is really important to me and a characteristic of the best radios. My IC-7300 is easy to use, but its receive audio is inferior to nearly every rig in my shack. My

Re: recommendation for HF rig
I use a FT-991A.? The IC-7300 is a great radio but I like the 991A for it's coverage.? The 7300 is HF+6, the 991A is HF+6+VHF+UHF.? This means that I can run a VARA HF session and with just a few

Re: Frustrated, can't get WinLink Vara to talk to IC 7300
Dick, The Radio Configuration is a menu under the Settings menu of the VARA HF WInlink Session Window, the VARA HF window only manages the Sound Card. The 7300 requires a special Serial Port driver.

Re: recommendation for HF rig
I've used VARA (Winlink, VarAC) on the IC-7300, the IC-7100, the IC-7200, the FT-991A and the FT-891. By far the easiest rig to configure and run with VARA is the IC-7300. The IC-7100 is a close
