Unable to set up vara fm with my Alinco DR-185 with Signalink. Alinco is not listed in the radio brands. Packet Winlink works just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Off topic but too bad they discontinued the Alinco DR-135 with the rear data port.? It works great for VARA FM wide with the Repeater Builder interface.

SMILEY,

?

The radio-specific settings in the VARA FM modem software apply only to PTT activation... and only for those radio models that provide a serial port or USB connector that supports PTT activation through a "COM port" or CAT mechanism. In every case, these are "all-band / all-mode" radios, not VHF and/or UHF FM transceivers.

?

That's why the radio Brand and Model choices only appear on the "PTT" window that is presented by the VARA FM "Settings -> PTT..." selection.

?

Since your SignaLink activates the radio PTT through a VOX mechanism, you should click the "VOX" radio button in the "PTT via" frame on the VARA FM "PTT" window.

Not sure which Alinco Model you’re referring to?

I was replying to the OP (SMILEY), who who said he was using a Signalink with his Alinco DR-185, and already was successfully running Packet with that setup.
