I am happy to report I am now have the the ability to use DTR/RTS PTT control and CAT control via OmniRig with my FT-847 using Version 3.4!! Thank You!!! That said I am getting the following message in the VarAc log. It does not appear to be impacting the operation of VarAc.
28/03/2022 16:39:25 - Starting VarAC

Parameter name: PortName

Any idea what is the cause of this message?
Thank you again for the excellent upgrade!

Yes. to suppress the message, under settings, select for a moment the CAT option and select just something on the PORT drop down. VarAC doesn't like it is empty even though you don't use it.
Irad - Thank you very much! That resolved the message!
