In the VarAC log, some (not all) beacons are received but not processed. The following message appears:
"Unable to process unformatted KISS data. Skipping index was outside the bounds of the array."
Others can see those beacons. Just not me. It's possible that only those beacons that are also email gateways are not processed but I can't confirm this. Is there a fix for this?
Here is the log:
I’m going to keep this discussion on the FB group since the other person reporting this problem is there also.
It could be related to the Vara Modem V4.8.9. The Creator of Vara fixed some bugs including in the KISS protocol in V4.8.9 but for some reason did not change the version number. After you download it and install it again = please LMK if you still get those errors. It could be also on the other side. I cant tell for sure but it seems related. please let us know. If NC3Z also received the same station but without any issues than it is more likely the issue is with your Vara modem version and not the other side.
Well I just looked for the first time at the whole log since I installed VarAC on 7/26/2025 and the error has occurred many times since then. I stopped counting after 20 different call signs and some call signs created the error more than once.
How would I share this log?
Here is something interesting: neither VaraHF or VarAC show up in the applications catalogue on this Win11 laptop. So uninstalling and reinstalling will be a problem.
Are you the same person who posted this issue on FB yesterday? Somewhere along the way someone is not running the latest versions. Can you attach a more extensive log with more stations that cause this or is it just from N4WXI as shown? Versions being used??
