Walker County ARES is trying to setup VARA FM to be able to use Winlink on their 991-a radios. I have been looking online for help and checking videos, I do not own a 991-A, out but there is plenty on HF but not FM.
Do you need a different cable from the USB cable that is used for VARA HF?? What mode do you select? This is a couple of the questions that I have.
They are hosting two Boy Scout Troops in a couple of weeks and would love to be able to show them how this works.
Thank you for any help.

Set your FM Mike from mike to rear in the menu. Not sure what number it is. I have a 991A set to run VARAHF and FM. ? ? Larry KF5MLP ?

No set to USB and the mike to REAR. You need to set the output to USB and the mike to rear. ? ? Larry ?

I¡¯m assuming you¡¯re in Alabama.?
There are other counties by that same name in various other states.?
If possible, identify the state along with the? county.?
That way you would most likely reach someone local to that might even be available to assist in person.?

Hello, I was able to do Vara-FM with de 991-a and the standard USB cable, but only in Narrow mode. I did not had any success with the wide mode in USB nor with a SignalLink on the data port, the transmitted BW in too restricted for a stable transmission in wide mode. For the wide mode I use my plain old ft857 and a modded SignalLink
If required I can post my settings for the 991a when I get back home.
