Setting Bandwidth Automatically ~ W/N

Hi, I started a thread/post on FB with Gary, NC3Z,, But I think it maybe better here.?

Using FT-991A Currently run FT8 quite frequently, Bandwidth is set to 3200 Hz (per JT's "Wide as possible") When I Start VARAC the Bandwidth is still at 3200 HZ, I do see the "Red Tramlines" spaced 500 Hz


Gary sent some details and references about CAT commands

That could possibly be set in the config file when VARAC starts to set Bandwidth to 500 Hz

and then return to 3200 Hz on exiting VARACt.?? I download the FT-991A CAT Manual, looked at the commands Gary mentioned,

NA = NARROW on Pg: 13 and SH = WIDTH on Pg: 16 I'm not sure what and where to start, basically understand concept, clueless on the "How To.?"


Any guidance would be very welcome...


Cheers... Dave

VarAC only starts OmniRig if it is told to. If you change your CAT control under the VarAC settings from OmniRig to CAT, VarAC will not start OmniRig. Just make sure it is not already running from a previous session (kill it in the task manager)


Make sure of course to select the right rig, and the right Com port, speed etc. Use the same config you used in Omnirig.
