Radio being switched to Packet Mode

 

Hello to all,

Yesterday I upgraded to VarAC 8.0.6. Every time I change frequencies using the drop down menu, it changes my rig (Yaesu FTDX-5000D) into Packet mode. I have to hit the USB switch you get it out of packet mode. This also
occurs when it switches to the slot frequency and returns back to the calling frequency.

This hasn’t with the previous versions. Very strange


Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

Thank you all. ?I found the settings. ?Although not in Vara HF, you have to open a Vara HF session to the the options under Settings.

Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

Hi folks,
You can not find it in VARA-HF settings.
VARA-HF is just a great modem program.
The setting is done in Winlink Express.
Good luck and have a nice day.

Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

I followed Lee's info and found the setting, see attached. Looks like it would do what you originally asked for.

Re: New V8.0.6

 

You are of course referring to VARAC v8.06, not VARA-HF.


Best regards,

Re: Call Sign change for VARA program

 

I'm having the same problem.? What was your remedy?


Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

I am not seeing this. * Which "settings' button??

1. I do not find it under the main screen "Settings."?

2. If I chose VARA HF and open a session:

I see how to add or subtract from "Favorites."?
Is this what you mean?

Under the session "Settings" there is "auto-connect setup ...

It does have maximum Pactor level (interest...).

So far I have not gotten the "Allowed Frequency Ranges" and "Exclude RMS" to alter the appearance of the long frequency list seen under "Channel Selection."?

I am asking under the principal that If I am not seeing it, others may be having trouble as well.

I have found lately ( sometimes) people jump in before reading the entire question and then give a non-applicable answer.

Hopefully I did not make this same error.?

Re: Manually edit HF channel list?

 

Daniel,
?
No need to edit Channel List ......You can customize frequency ranges and exclude callsigns from within VARA!? On the SETTINGS screen open "Automatic Connection Settings" and you will find input area for "Allowed Frequency Ranges" and "Exvluded RMS".

Is it possible to manually edit the HF channel list? ?In particular, I would like to remove HF channels I will never use (e.g. 80m band). ?This will make the auto-channel select feature more useful in my case.

Re: VARA HF v4.7.7 has AES 256 encryption option for NON HAM users ONLY

I would expect that. The amateur RMS is restricted to P3.?

Where are those "amateur RMSs" located? If they're in the US, perhaps the controlling software on the RMS side is setting their modem to max out at P3.

Or, perhaps, the "amateur RMS" has an older PACTOR modem that is limited to P3.

I have found that running both SHARES and amateur with the 7800 set to P4 when using amateur RMSs, it only links at P3 speeds.?

Not a scientific study. Just my observations.?
