Re: Vara HF Winlink with a QDX
Hi Pierre,
I haven¡¯t got VARA HF Win Link going yet but have been keeping an eye on it.
Putting it on the QDX sounds like fun.
I assume that the QDX will only respond appropriately to the VARA FSK

Re: VARA FM Winlink no connect - Stumped!
Concerning #1, It could be because the response from the RMS Gateway is sending more data than what the client sends when starting a connection... i.e. an acknowledgment of the first transmission.

On my Windows 11 system, that app is accessed by clicking "More sound settings" from the System > Sound area.

Re: VARA FM Winlink no connect - Stumped!
Because the other end is not over-driving their transmitter audio-in and clipping/distorting horribly. And they may be using a "data port" connection instead of a mic jack.

Re: VARA FM Winlink no connect - Stumped!
That's very interesting and informative, and explains why the signal I hear
from my transmitter sounds so odd. But, I have two questions:
1. Why does the return connect tone from the RMS node sound so

Re: VARA FM Winlink no connect - Stumped!
I swear no one at Microsoft has ever actually used audio controls in Windows - they go out of their way to make accessing them (especially the record / receive] controls) needlessly difficult. You can

Re: VARA FM Winlink no connect - Stumped!
*VARA has a far far more complex audio waveform than classic packet. *
Classic packet transmits only a single frequency-shifting audio tone at a time.? VARA uses 52 (!) simultaneous close-spaced

Re: VARA FM Winlink no connect - Stumped!
My experience is that the volume setting for incoming and outgoing is very
finicky. In Windows there are many gotchas. One on the Microphone (output)

Re: VARA FM Winlink no connect - Stumped!
Well, I had just done a Winlink session and had not changed any settings
when I tried again. When I subsequently tried the packet session, I made no
changes in my sound settings.
I appreciate your

Re: VARA FM Winlink no connect - Stumped!
I have used both squelched and unsquelched with the radio, no difference.
The RMS never responds to my connect attempts, so there is nothing to
receive. I'll know more when new sound card interface

Re: VARA FM Winlink no connect - Stumped!
audio levels are very tricky on VARA FM.? Using an HT, it's easy to hit the volume knob (there's no "data" port on most HT's).? I'd try turning the volume knob down and retry the autolevel

Sorry, that was a typo! I have tried high and low power, with no benefit.
At this point, I have another sound card coming in later this week, and
