Hello Alister
Thank you for sharing. We have this in the CAT file from ZS6LVL. Please let me know which one is the prefered option.

The newer and faster QSY is great, but the slot number is blank after the QSY happens. If the QSY is to one of the preset slots even though it was done by Hertz offset, it would be handy to see the new slot in addition to the frequency.

I am using my 857 with a level converter for FT8 and wonder if you are using an Yaesu 857 for VARAC chats on HF. If so what level converter are you using? How is it wired up, and do you have to do anything other than switch transmit mode to digital? Windows 11 installation. Do you use the same hardware for FT8 and what about the level converter drivers?
Thanks in Advance.

Same sound configuration and PTT configuration that works on FT8 will work on VarAC. Good luck and 73s!

Hi there and thank you for sharing. We already have IC-726 in the list for a few months now. I am attaching the file we have and I would love to hear from you if what you suggest is the same and if not - what are the differences:
