CAT control is great, regardless of the method used. Works perfectly for me on either an ANAN or a Flex.

I didn't see a Wrong message? I watch more closely.

Fixing the latency of my PC fixed my issue with connecting, even with the unmodified version of VARA-HF. I should have been suspicious, since I have connected with Gary and other SDR users before. I'm sure the modified version also makes connecting better. I've been using only SDR's for years, so am very familiar with latency issues. I'm glad Jose made changes to VARA-HF to make it more tolerant.

Please move it.

The issue with the ADI file as implemented is it has to be deleted each time it is uploaded to the logging program. You could keep a log file and an ADI file, similar to the approach taken in WSJT-X. The log file is a "permanent" VarAC log. The ADI file is "temporary", meant to be deleted after log upload.

I always use 600 on my Flex and it seems to work well. I figured that some stations might be off-freq, so 500 would just be too tight. I also rolled off the filter sharpness.

Txs for the feedback.

Yes.

I don't disagree. The msg would be very short. I also think we should adopt a best practice to use calling frequencies to establish a connection and then immediately QSY to an operating frequency, without being prompted.
