Using VarAC without CAT control

I thought I'd add onto this somewhat older post. As an ALE user, there are many applications that must be "dumbd down" to function well. Fortunately, VarAC is happy being left "out of the loop" when it comes to something else controlling the transceiver. There are functions though, such as pskreporter, that base reporting on what VarAC thinks, not what is reality. Thus if you leave reporting enabled, pskreporter will receive the wrong information.

Hi Everything is fine, everything works, as long as we listen.....😀😀😊

gives an error message: Can"t find the main VARA-HF/FM executable file\

TS-2000 ..........

🤣🤣🤣

I am. I have a Yaesu FT-817ND that is setup for VarAC. I use the split VFO function for it. Call CQ with the main frequency...then switch the VFO to the listening frequency manually. It works well FOR ME. No problems.

u need to connect someone first to send them a message.

Or if you want just to send a broadcast to all not as part of a QSO, you can use the SEND BROADCAST.
