Hi: Thanks for 9.1.0! When setting for some tests I noticed the radio was output about half of the 100w setting. I then verified settings and fixed the problem, now the 590SG output shows 100w. IMO, having a power output reading and displaying at VarAC could be helpful in assuring settings are correct. More ff we use several operating profiles and radios within one VarAC installation. The request is related with providing power output info into VarAC. Not sure how this could add overhead, impact VarAC performance or be complicated as there are bunch of different radios, etc. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: IMO message type functionality could be a plus. For example adding some checkmark to specify if a message is emcomm - related and to use preferably radiogram abbreviations like R (Routine), P (Priority), W (Welfare). or Emergency. Other message type categories could include Normal / Regular VarAc Talk, Public Service Drill. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

HI: Have read elsewhere some VarAC users running some kind of Nets, would like to know which freqs are you using. Good for drills / exercises testing and making stations do check-in, IMO. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: Have detected flags at stations not sending beacons. Question is IF VarAC could allow a direct call to station not RX in Beacon or CQ? Some type of what in 6M we call 'blind calling". Sometimes the other operator could detect a call and decide to answer without being actively sending beacon. Thanks in Advance. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: Here testing various instances HF and FM. Have noticed that multiple times PSk Reporter not showing current activity. For example, have two instances 6M FM (FTDX10) - Setup A, 10M (Kenwood 590SG) - Setup B, PSK Reporter not showing the 6M activity. Have been more than 1 hr active with both. Happen also with 2M, sometimes it get reported but not always. Well, my experience, Even self report is active on both so should reflect my own report. Not sure is a VarAC or PSK Issue. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: IMO in QSO with and time in larger text and maybe a color background could be useful. Background color could be set by user but for moment could be a universal attention color as yellow or similar. Larger time text could help old eyes! 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: Not sure when the QSO will be logged. In my case some QSO's I observed no logging despite the AutoLog button is enabled. Someone please verify or clarify the intended functionality. I am manually using the Log button. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: The default is 6 hour - which I find too long. 30 Minutes you get most recent activity. But best is to allow user to set the time of the report. Maybe at PSK Setting 73' Edfel

Sometimes, you are doing several task at the same time you might be available for QSO but have limited time. Hope nobody get offended. The other party if you CQ or connect with you, will know you are available / looking for quick QSO as you have limited time. The label could be other text tou.. 'Limited Time' or whatever. IMO, this introduces an intermediate status beyond 'I am away'. Just a thought. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Add capability to open links in BroadCast messages. FUnctionality to be set by VarAC operator in settings. So if someone don't want links to be able to open could setup to off or disable. I dont mean to automatically open links in broadcast only when user click mouse over it. 73' Edfel

Hi / Hola: I am located in Cayey and have a 70cm Yagi pointing south (Ponce). Also have a 2M Yagi pinted North West. ANyone willing to test VarAC send email to kp4aj@winlink.org (mailto:kp4aj@winlink.org)or to webmaster at emcommpr.com(http://emcommpr.com) Conditions: IC9700, 2M + 70cm Yagis. 435 masl. Running latest VarAC (8.4.4) and licensed version of VARA. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Those that notice 6M conditions good in your area, could be interesting to test VarAC in the 6M (50.330) b(http://50.band)and.(http://50.band) There are some openings lately. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi All: Just found this and think could be of some value. https://github.com/PaulOfford/mbserver. Some related videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxg5_hiKlqc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szZlPL2h534 https://oh8stn.org/blog/2023/01/13/decentralized-ota-micro-blogging/ I know VarAC provides asyn comm via VMAIL. But the idea of microblogging and be able to request specific posts is IMO, interesting. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: Trying to figure out problem WP4LFS connect t my station via two repeaters (KP4GBF-12 close to him), NP4JN-12 (close to me), Doung ping I got Wonder what the red number means. Well would like to know how to interpret the report. Also, if WP4LFS inhis VarAC settings digipeater goes KP4GBF-12 NP4JN-12 or just the one next to him. We are more than 50 miles apart with mountains. BTW when trying to ping him several times I got NO SIGNAL. Guess conditions also have something to do. When trying a ping from NP4JN-12 to KP4GBF-12 > NO Signal. Sorry this new for us and are very happy to have an aplication such as VarAC, particularly FM. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: When reply a VMAIl message box not allowing to type response. 6.5 beta 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi Irad: I think it could be very valuable if VarAC have the functionality to add custom forms (or template) or even have key FEMA ICS forms. Canned forms is good but having the flexibility to have several forms available could be IMO great. WinLink is good example of FEMA or other forms integrated. Sure something basic I think will be good. Thanks!! 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: Although the software tell you via error (message popup window) that only one instance of VARA is allowed, VarAC allows multiple instances of it. Best could be to send a kill and allow strictly one instance no matter if user activates it. 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: This related with VarAC with digipeater functionality. The digipeater field need to be completed at VARA FM Setup ? Or is sufficient to just add in VarAC Settings? BTW, If VarAC / VARA FM detects a signal strong enough will it handle via digipeater settings or via simplex? 73' Edfel KP4AJ

Hi: Not sure if this should be reported as a bug. When I turn off the IC9700, VarAC not shutdown. 73' Edfel KP4AJ
