    Troubleshooting - most common problems

    in Troubleshooting

    Problem: I see a delay in PTT (TX) commands when using OmniRig

    Solution: In OmniRig - set the "Timeout, ms" menu item to "100".


     

    Problem: My CQ and Beacon buttons don't work. I even see "WRONG" messages on the VARA-HF command stream.

    Soluton: Make sure you are using VARA-HF 4.5.0 or higher.


     

    Problem: I am using OmniRig and IC-7300. When I change freuqneyc with VarAC, my transceiver changes the mode to RTTY instead of USB-D

    Solution: In OmniRig - select a device called "IC-7300-DATA" instead of "IC-7300"


     

    Problem: I run VarAC but I can't see it on screen

    Solution: Open the VarAC.ini file and reset these parameters to 0 (zero) ScreenPositionX=0 ScreenPositionY=0


     

    Problem: I can't change Frequency. The dropdown is grayed out.

    Solution: Currently, frequency control is available only when using OmniRig.


     

    Problem: VarAC puts my transceiver on RTTY instead on USB

    Solution: If using OmniRig then under settings -> PTT & VARA configuration change USB Mode to "USB-D". In addition, for some transceivers, you need to select the OmniRig "DATA" Entry. Ex. instead of "IC-7300" choose "IC-7300-DATA"
