VARA double keys my radio on transmit.

 

So I tried VARA out and for some reason it double keys my FT-857D radio. I don¡¯t think that is good for the radio. Radio and Signalink works Winlink, ARDOP, WINMOR just perfectly. William, N5WOI.

Re: vara install.exe not seen by Winlink

 

Ralph,
it is NOT likely that you want RMS express to point to the VARA install exe.? Vara install is intended to run only ONCE.
you really want RMS express to run?
C:\VARA FM\VARAFM.exe
or some path similar.

Yes, I¡¯m using ?the usb codec option on the vara setup. I¡¯ve also set my alc as shown on the vara sound card setup screen. That what¡¯s puzzling to me.

Have you selected the correct sound card within the VARA application itself? There is a slider there as well for setting the correct levels.

Hi all.......

Trying to get VARA to work, but no joy so far. Here is my setup:

Icom Ic-7300 using a Windows 10 laptop with the latest version of winlink. No sound card since the 7300 has one built in. I¡¯ve used winmor successfully, but want to get higher speeds.?

I think I have everything configured correctly.....when I open a vara session and hit start, my radio keys up, I see wattage out thru my antenna tuner, so I know I¡¯m generating RF, but never connect to any rms nodes.?
At first I thought it was because I¡¯d always get the Channel Busy indication, but even with a clear channel and using multiple different rms nodes, I¡¯ve yet to get thru.?

Anyone here using a 7300 that could give me some assistance?

thanks

Colin?

Thanks!?? Does this require a MSWindows machine??? Or can it run on some embedded platform??? I suspect it could run on an Intel NUC.? But is it supported on Raspberry PI?

?

Can a single computer support simultaneous transactions on 2 or more transceivers?

?

What kind of bytes per second could one expect using Winlink over FM with VARA FM??? What software must the fixed-station computer be running?? Does this work with G8BPQ's RMS server??

?

Thanks again.

Is there a way to use VARA on FM, hopefully on surplus land-mobile vhf FM transceivers, to achieve better than 2400baud?? Or maybe better noisy-link performance than Bell 202 or whatever the MFJ-2400 modem is???

Oh Yes it works with G8BPQ and its RMS system.

I have not tried VARA-FM yet... I may give it a shot...

Windows...
I have 2 instances of VARA Hf
2 Instances of ARDOP
2 Instances of WINMOR on a Windows 7 Laptop controlling two HF rigs via 2 Signalinks.

All controlled by my Linbpq PC thru the Ethernet link..

I think the only way to use a Pi running say PiLINBPQ would be with a networked windows PC running VARA FM.. But You may ask the Author???
