Var AC configuration issues. HF and FM

 

?
I have a station that I have successfully installed Vara AC on. I use Vara HF as my modem. I have separately installed VARA FM. I don't currently use it, because there are no gateways within range. I just came aware of people using VA AC with HT's and miles, including using other digital programs such as FLDIGI. It's particularly interesting, in that they are using DMR radios such as the Anytone D87UV HT. So the question is how go I use both the HF and FM versions of Vara? Is there a way to ?configure one copy of the program to allow you to choose which one you want to use for a particular session? Alternately can you run multiple ?copies of Var AC configured ?differently. Which is the preferred alternative? Thanks for your attention to this issue.?
 

VarAC has profiles, and each profile can reference a different codefile for VARA. You want to set the HF (SSB) to the proper path and .exe. Then repeat for the FM profile. It has been some time since I looked at this, you may need to manually create the various profiles. But that's the way to get VarAC to have HF and FM. In fact, if I remember correctly, you can even change the saved messages so each profile has its own saved messages.

You can create a distinct .ini file for each profile. Pass the .ini file as an argument to the exe and that is what profile will run.

For example, a shortcut on my desktop...

C:\...\VarAC.exe VarAC_7300_4BTV.ini

This launches VarAC with the configuration for the VARA HF modem and canned messages with details for my IC7300 and 4BTV antenna.
