This request was passed on to me by ZS4CGR:

To enable non-amateurs to send you an email via a VarAC email-gateway, you have to provide them with the email address of a viable VarAC email gateway. To fast track getting this email address, it would be good to be able to directly query a VarAC email-gateway to get it's email gateway address, using the INQUIRE button. To get this address, I forward an VMail via an email gateway, and then get the email address from the received email on the Internet. Having the above ability to query via the INQUIRE button would be a major help. So all you have to provide a non-amateur to be able to send you an email using VarAC is to provide him with the email address of the VarAC email gateway user, and the forward instruction: <RELAY_TO_CALLSIGN:CALL1> or

<RELAY_TO_CALLSIGN:CALL1,CALL2> to send the VMail to 2 callsigns

I'm putting this here because I don't know how the software talks between the different instances. Whether it is internal to the software, UDP, or whatever. Instance 1 & 2 are not the email gateway handler, instance 3 is. Instance 1 & 2 go from "Email Gate" go from blue to orange. If I shut down 1 & 2 and bring them back up, they stay orange. If I shut down all three and bring them back up it 1 & 2 are blue. Instance 3 (on the left) stayed green the whole time. No other errors that I could see.

When I had two instances I used the female voice on one, the male voice on the other. Now I have three instances.... Maybe if Cluster is enabled it would put a "C1", C2", "C3", etc in front of the announcement?

I can tell from the >>>> replied to: that he is sending something, but I can't see it.

Hi, I have tried to update CAT ini file for use with my IC-275E; i have added following rows:

[Icom IC-275]

CmdType=HEX

ModeUSB=FEFE10E00601FD

ModeUSB_D=FEFE10E00601FD

ModeFM=FEFE10E00605FD

Due to the different frequency ranges of rigs and antenna limitations connected, it would be great to be able to customize the table for each instance. My FT-710 will do 160m but the antenna won't. UHF/VHF rig will only do a set freq, FT-991A running 2m FM will do HF, but is not at the moment connected to an HF antenna. It would be great to be able to have a separate table per instance in a cluster. I don't even know if VarAC can/will attempt a QSY in UHF/VHF FM. I haven't had a chance to test that. As is, editing the table in one instance affects all instances.

#FT-710

<Instance=1>

14.101.250-14.108.750

7.101.250-7.108.750

3.591.250-3.598.000

Hi, I'm the developer of RWS (Radio Web Services, https://github.com/Glitch31415/rws) and VarAC is the best VARA chat client for interacting with my project. However, when it tries to send extremely large amounts of text in a message (tens or hundreds of kilobytes or more), the VarAC window slows down more and more and eventually freezes as more text appears. It would be nice if there was an option to only try to load the message once, after it has finished sending, rather than reloading the UI element each time more text is available to show. Thank you!

I was sending a CQ and VarAC sent a Beacon in the middle of the sequence. I'm in debug mode because of the other error.

I had an alert that a Relay was waiting on another station.

I connected to the station and rcvd the vmail.

I went to delete the notification in the relay window and got a "unhandled exception" warning. Clicked continue, and the instance of my cluster I was deleting it in shut down. The other instance was not affected. I went to look for the log file for 20260619* and it did not exist, only for the 18th. No data date stamped for the 19th or 20th. I don't often have relay notifications, but I will try to capture some data.
