VarAC - HF discussion forum

Hi,

I am a new user. I have installed version V5.1.8. I also have the latest version of Vara HF installed and have previously used that to send and receive an email with Winlink. I am using a Windows 10 machine.

I have an icom 705 and believe that it to be setup properly with varac. In the rig control screen, I can change frequencies and test the ptt button perfectly ok.

The problem is that when I try and call cq. Nothing happens. The call cq is purple by the way.

When i hit call cq, and select a slot, I then hit the slot sniffer button. The frequency changes and then returns...Sniffed ok..

Lastly, when I hit the call cq button on this screen. which is also purple by the way...

nothing happens and the screen goes away.

Any ideas???
