    AFTER 8 HOURS TRYING NOT MUCH LUCK

    in VarAC discussion forum

    The title says it all. I know I'm last in the class when it comes to computer literacy but I would not call the process exactly user-friendly. The only information I've been able to copy are call signs in both the "Last heard beacons" and the "Last heard CQ calls" windows on the upper right of the screen. I'm using the FT-891 for the rig. If you are using the same rig would appreciate knowing how you set things up and any tips you might have. Many Thanks, DAN, K3XR

    To monitor channel traffic, the only way is to select 'Monitor' on the vara modem , then the text prints on the modem itself .. as long as the s/n matches the level monitored


    Toggling between monitor/ standby rx , is the same as loading a different application , standby receiver monitors , beacons , cq's and connect calls , these use a special mfsk format, where as the main modem uses a combination of frames and formats

    Many thanks, Graham... appreciate the information. I'm now working on the frequency change which will show in the frequency on the screen but won't change the FT-891 I need to do that manually. Slow, but making progress. Thank You, again...DAN K3XR

    @k3xr Ok Dan, I think, the only way to run x2 vara modem , is to run from separate directories , solo, no need to link to anything etc , you can parallel the RX audio to the monitor modem, while the other remains the active tx/rx ...rx only, is not affected by sdr delays or web delays , just time shifted .

    @g0nbd Thank you again, Grahm. I will try to figure all that out. Also now trying to understand the new mailbox feature. This old dog does not learn new tricks very easily. 😋DAN, K3XR
