One Drive path written to BBS path

One Drive overwrote my BBS path in my VarAC folder. I don't need One Drive and have uninstalled it. One Drive is dangerous.

Hi Bill. I usualy take responibilities for VarAC bugs.. but I am not the address for bug reports on Microsoft one-drive :) 73s

Beware of Windows Updates, They Can Change Your VARA HF Settings.

I wasn't able to check in for VAR Wednesday on April 15th. My radio wasn't transmitting in VarAC. I also tried FT8 with WSJTX, and I wasn't getting anything. However, I was making contacts on SSB phone. It seemed that something changed even though I didn't change any settings. It didn't make sense to me.


The problem was that I forgot that I scheduled a Windows update, and the update changed the settings for my sound card in VARA HF. So if anyone else has this issue in the future try the following:


  1. Open the VARA HF app.

  2. Go to Settings.

  3. Go to SoundCard.

  4. Check your settings for Device Input and Device Output. Both of these settings were changed during the Windows update.

Windows automatically making changes is a major pain. Use SoundSwitch from GitHub. When your settings change, it'll put them right back.

Relay Error

I found another bug. I clicked on the “relay” button on the bottom right of the screen. The relay window came up, then I clicked on the call sign, the clicked “delete”. The program came up with an exception “index out of range”. There are 2 options, one to continue, the other to quit immediately. Both of the options work. The reason I’m having to delete it is because I have a contact that I have retrieved his swaying “async” message 5 times and I get the vmail, but his end never seems to realize I have retrieved it. I have no info on that issue. This notice is only about deleting the relay.

Thanks, K8DDD

Same here, using Windows 11. After confirming the window exception “index out of range” VarAC continue to run normal.

I tried to answer your CQ on 10M today several times. Your SNR was in the + levels so very strong. But you did not hear me to respond, did you see me try to connect. So as always, please provide more info on your setup. A screenshot of your VARA HF modem screen will be very telling as there is something wrong with your setup.
