VarAC 2m FM


Thanks Irad and Gary for all of your help so far...


So.. running a FT-991A. Trying to establish a 2m FM presence here.

Assumptions:

VARA FM should be set to wide

VarAC on FM is simplex.


The 991A can be a real pain at times. I discovered this morning that it was using an offset and transmitting on a freq other than 144.950. I manually set that in the radio to simplex, but the 991A has a mind of its own sometimes. I am looking at the VarAC_cat_commands.ini file at the FT-991A section. I also have the Yaesu FT-991A CAT manual open. It says the CAT command is:


Set P10 0



Will set it to Simplex. How do I add that to the VarAC cat command file? I am totally new to trying to do anything in the CAT realm...

Irad, I have another command that I want to include in the VarACStartCmd. I added the command you helped me with.


VarACStartCmd=,OS00;


Now I want to fix the Width in Data USB. It tends to default to 500 and I have to manually change it to 3000, I tried:


VarACStartCmd=,OS00,SH20; This didn't work.

VarACStartCmd=,OS00,SH17; This also didn't work.

I tried two start command lines, one for OS00 and one for SH17/SH20, those didn't work either.

I also tried those combos with a ";" between commands


So I'm asking the Guru...
