    VarAC with vara FM

    in VarAC discussion forum

    Will it be possible to use varAC with vara FM in the future as the beaconing facility would be a great way to check propagation paths at 2m vhf.

    Well - Vara FM is not on my priority at the moment but I totally understand the value of it. But there is a good chance it works out of the box. If you have a VaraFM setup and you have a friend with a similar setup - you can try using VarAC. this will be interesting for me to know. I will be happy to hear about this test if you do it.

    Hi Irad, I did try running varAC with varaFM again but the software didn’t like it. It said it was sending beacons or calling CQ but nothing happened.

    It did however attempt a connect.

    I don’t think it‘s going to work.

    I sent you an email as I had trouble accessing the forum. It worked after I rebooted my iPhone!

    I can fix the CQ/Beacon easily. I am interested in setting a connection and chatting. can you test it with someone ?

    Good news. Works with VaraFM... its a preliminary test... need a few tweaks - but connecting to another VarAC station using VARAFM works perfect ! all features works. Just need to take care of CQ/BEACON (easy fix)

    Great Irad, and brilliant that you have got it to work as it’s such a great program. Testing propagation on VHF using beaconing will be very interesting.

    I’m looking forward to trying it out.
