Re: Collision avoidance?
Wow, that's pretty ugly, Tadd. I plan on using our high-level VARA-FM digipeater as a "Gateway drug" to lure local Winlink users onto our AREDN mesh network :-D.? It's pretty-well developed in our

Re: Collision avoidance?
Using G8BPQ software, not uncommon, at 1200 baud AX.25 with NETROM over top of it, the typical 1200 baud throughput is 15 to 25 bytes of payload per second, plus callsigns and flags and whatnot, and

Re: recommendation for HF rig
Exactly Mark. An IC-7000 and a DigiRig can do all of that. (or something like that). 73 Danny, K5CG HH 550-000-0609 SKCC 14257 To: "VARA-MODEM" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2023

Re: recommendation for HF rig
While this topic started with a discussion of good radios for VARA HF, several posters commented on the advantages of ¡°all band¡± (HF + 6M + VHF/UHF) rigs, being able to do VARA FM on VHF/UHF

Re: Collision avoidance?

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: VARA on M1 Mac
Nick; The VARA HF and VARA FM radio-modem software is proprietary. It is entirely up to the developer, Jose Alberto Nieto Ros EA5HVK, whether to develop versions that run natively under operating

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: 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.
