I tried some emcomm experiments using a digipeater on VHF.
1) If we are on FM/VHF and have no slots. How do we avoid the 6min disconnect, so we can do larger file transfers?
I'm using none for ptt/frequency control options.
2) While connected in a VarAC session will we be blocking winlink connection on the same frequency, or will winlink be able to transmit in between messages?
3) I can't see a way to attach files to VMAIL - This would be useful for emcomm to distribute info and have people pick up instruction packages after seeing a broadcast
You can use slots with FM. if u want to disable them and also disable the timer limit - disable the "slot system" under the settings menu (there is a checkbox for that)
VARA does not share the frequency Like packet. So no. However, if it sense that the freq is in use it might hold back the TX. But not recommended to mix.
No mails are supporter with VMails. Vmails are built for short messages only. There is a File transfer mechanism instead.
