Re: Yaesu FTM-500 integration with Digrig
I would assume this cable would work. I am using it with a FTM-6000.

Re: Winlink RMS Packet with VARA FM and Soundmodem
George, this is a very timely post as I was trying to do exactly the same yesterday. I followed the recipe that Steve K3FZT posted, but I am having issues with the PTT. I am using an IC-9700 as the

Re: Winlink RMS Packet with VARA FM and Soundmodem
It's trivial UNTIL you want to run two or more sound card apps on the same sound device at the same time (such as both AX. 25 packet with the UZ7HO Soundmodem -AND- VARA ).? Then all hell breaks

Re: Winlink RMS Packet with VARA FM and Soundmodem
I am relatively new to this. I use VARA HF with an Icom IC-7300 and VARA
FM with Alinco DR-135 and Repeater Builder 9600 interface. Both use PTT,
just by checking the box for RA-board in VARA setup.

Re: Winlink RMS Packet with VARA FM and Soundmodem
?VOX (as in a SignaLink or the "DATA VOX" function on some Yaesu radios) has huge advantages.? You avoid the hassle of serial ports, especially on modern computers that force you to use a

Re: Winlink RMS Packet with VARA FM and Soundmodem
Why are you using VOX ? It's not needed in the setup as sound modem has its
own PTT.

Yes, it was Bullard's Beach! We had amazing fish'n'chips at a little place in the harbor, and enjoyed a cranberry bog tour. We found that the cranberry-rum jam was amazing! Sadly, the day we drove

That would be Bullard's Beach State Park. The local radio group often has POTA activations there.

Re: Winlink VARA-FM working with AIOC and Baofeng
Thomas,
Thanks for that information. I'm not sure exactly what led me to think that the "Radio only" mode was correct, but glad I was finally able to stumble my way to a working solution!
BTW, I saw

Re: Winlink VARA-FM working with AIOC and Baofeng
Congratulations on sorting out issues!
I strongly suggest that you stay as far from the Radio-Only modes as possible. These modes were written into the Winlink software to serve as a last resort in

Winlink VARA-FM working with AIOC and Baofeng
Hello All,
Well, I feel kind of foolish posting this, but I got my Winlink/VARA-FM/AIOC/Baofeng combo working, and it was partly due to my ignorance and an unexpected hardware issue.

Re: Winlink RMS Packet with VARA FM and Soundmodem
I also calibrate for VARA FM but aim for the VARA FM receive level to be around -6dB. This produces a good deviation level with Sound Modem.

Re: Winlink RMS Packet with VARA FM and Soundmodem
I agree that it can be difficult to get optimum levels for both packet and Vara FM. I usually optimize for Vara FM as soundmodem is pretty forgiving and seems to do well with a wider range of levels.
