VarAC - FM discussion forum

Hi:

Noticed a new VARA 4.3.9 dated 11-18-2025. a change file size from previous 4.3.9 exists. Anyone can tell how functionality changed?

Or if there is changelog. This aspect Jose should improve, IMO.

Regards!

I'm working on a book that will feature VARA FM as a chapter, and VarAC as another chapter.

It occurs to me that there are situations where it could be advantageous to have sepearate VARA FM local area networks in the same area that don't "see" each other. Example, a group of high power VARA FM WIDE stations operating on a UHF frequency, and another group of VARA FM WIDE / NARROW stations operating on VHF.

I understand that VARA FM WIDE and VARA FM NARROW stations can interoperate on the same frequency.

In my hoped-for scenario, two VARA FM applications (with different radios connected) could "recognize" each other as a VARA FM digipeater and thus forward all VARA FM data between two VARA FM LANs.

But, I don't see such a capabiity in the VARA FM application. Thus I'm wondering if such a capability exists in VarAC because most…

How difficult would it be for the developers to create server capabilities with this program for use over 2m? Could user created folders within the VArac program folder be accessible to connecting stations where they could upload or download files? I think this could be really awesome for people running 9600 baud capable machines.

I can tx on 6M while in usb, but not while in FM or D-FM. There is no audio output showing while on FM/D-FM. 991A has been mars mod. Input/output devices are correct. Vox is on. Tried switching #72 and 109 back and forth between USB and Data with no change.
