Glenn All Messages By This Member #6133 It will be in the settings menu tab WHEN you first have winlink open and open the VARA HF Session.? Otherwise you do not see the option in the Settings TAB
Gary - K7EK All Messages By This Member #6134 Hmmm. What about BPQ32? Not everyone uses Winlink Express, RMS Relay, RMS Trimode, etc. On Friday, July 7, 2023 at 05:10:50 PM EDT, Glenn <glenn.depp@...> wrote: It will be in the settings menu tab WHEN you first have winlink open and open the VARA HF Session.?

Wes WB7BR All Messages By This Member #6148 Looks like the option appears only when you have a qualifying callsign entered in the Setup. Ham calls have only a max of two letters in prefix, encryption requires three. -- VY 73, Wes WB7BR

Graham All Messages By This Member #6187 Its secret -) But you could try this? You have to enter your special callsign in your? App ,? Winlink Express.?

DaveW All Messages By This Member #6192 开云体育 In the past VARA has worked very well with pactor using BPQ or Winlink to poll both modems. Its using one or the other. Not both at the same time. I am hoping that the powers that be will allow AF MARS to resume using VARA with this new encryption method. 73 Dave wb2hvf On 7/13/2023 11:17 AM, W8NSI James wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Lawrence VE6LS.

Lawrence All Messages By This Member #6193 i should have explained further. I already was using a physical PACTOR DR-7800 modem which includes SCS ALE and AES256 firmware. I use CoolTerm to control it as the SCS Chat ALE software does not allow full of the modem. NOW VARA HF Winlink (and P2P) have the encryption option) so a number of operators are using that over buying an expensive PACTOR modem. The VARA encryption is working well so far. When you connect to another station the VARA screen turns a nice ORANGE colour to alert you tht encryption is running. Of course I am using VARA's own included software modem. So far so good!
