You can use PSK reporter to filter who is currently on in France using VarAC.

P.S make sure you copy you key for Vara so you can plug it back in if you go that route. KB8MRC Doug

When you say you deleted, does mean uninstall? I had similar issues when I went to Windows 11. I finally had to uninstall and delete the folders, etc. Then I created new folders in a new location and downloaded and installed again into the new folder location. Just like a fresh new install. Everything worked after that. I found the solution in this forum from a while back. Using a Yaesu FT857d KB8MRC Doug

Thank you. Had the same problem with a Yaesu FT857d. PTT worked on JS8CALL but no TX on VarAC. Did the de-installing steps you mentioned here. I added a new folder location before downloading and installing again. Everything worked with the new install. Just a reminder to save the VARA files in another location in case of license issues.

I would check your ALC setting when changing back and forth from each digital mode. You might need to readjust that setting. I run a little higher power on VarAC. So I have to readjust my ALC setting. Doug KB8MRC
