PSK Self Reporting
I'm not sure if this a wish list item or a "dummy doesn't know how"
I am trying to establish a VarAC 2m FM presence in the Raleigh/Durham/Fayetteville North Carolina area. To accomplish this I have gotten VarAC Cluster up and running and I am centrally located between those cities.
I have noticed that in PSK Reporter my presence on a given band (mainly 2m) disappears after a while. I have looked at the manual and settings. It appears that VarAC only self reports at startup or a freq change.
This is an issue in that if someone looks at PSK reporter they don't see anyone in that area and just move on without attempting a connection.
Is there a way to select to self report periodically so that my 2m station (which I am leaving up 24/7) stays visible?
And as I am running a cluster, 2m on the 991A, and HF on the 710, can it detect both and report both by band and mode?
The way I am operating is:
The 2m FM stays fixed and I have setup email, AI, and BBS.
On the 710 I'm running HF and playing probably 14-16 hours a day. It self reports if I change bands and PSKR catches that.
I'm assuming that PSKR refreshes my presence on the map when I'm heard. I honestly don't know enough to be dangerous in reference to PSKR.


VarAC will report a new frequency 60 seconds after the QSY. And keep reporting that frequency every 4 hours.
