Hi Thomas; don't think complicated! I think you are using Cat and it works? If so, simply set the desired frequency on your VFO radio. have Fun, 73 de Franz, OE3FQU

OK, I understand your concerns OM Irad. However, in practice I have seen time and time again, many VARAC users simply do not send beacons; thus you do not know that they are QRV. But anyway, it was just an idea. I appreciate your work and THANK YOU for it

It's the same for me too. Just double click on the CQ entry and it will work. VarAC V6.6.13, VARA HF v4.7.2.

Hello everyone; my PTT problem with the TS-870 and the MicroHAM USB Interface III is solved. I described the problem to microHam Support and got help immediately. Jozef OM7ZZ wrote me: " You cannot use CAT PTT, modulation from ACC is than disabled. Use RTS over COM 11 same as you do with Winlink." Das Setup schaut nun also so aus: I am happy that it works now. Mni 73 and have fun with VARAC with a microHAM USB Interface III

Hello Demetre, i absolutely agree with you. see the thread in the forum: https://www.varac-hamradio.com/forum/varac-emcomm-discussion-forum/location-data-transfer mni 73 @all

The display of the own point exact position on a PINPOINT or APRSIS map worked quite well with the first versions of VARAC. The KISS port of VARA was used, this controlled the position transmission with VARAHF. However, since the introduction of V-Mail, the Kiss port is used for this purpose. Maybe OM Irad is working on enabling PosData broadcasting again? It would be nice.

Hi OM Gary, mni tnx for your Answer. I think, the VARA Settings are OK, see: I'm using the MICROHAM USB Interface III, so I have to choose the USB audio codec. I also tried my computer soundcard for the test,- sounds wonderfully on the PC, not on the TRX, hi As I already mentioned, it Winlink Express works without problem! And the VARAHF installation is the same as when using VARAC. I don't know what to do at the moment. Thank you for your attention.

maybe you had a problem with your antenna and they crashed the USB interface with their TX power? Please check this. 73

Luke, I agree with you! That's why I'll be QRV on the 30m band more often in the evening now. Gd DX de OE3FQU

Hello to all. I am looking for a working control file for the ICOM IC-7200, Hex 76 With the current control file the mode RTTY is set at initialization and at every QSY and the Data PTT is switched off. many thanks, 73 de Franz

TNX Info OM Irad 73 from Austria

OM Irad, what exactly does the command ? Please for an application example. Thanks, 73

@zeev.stadler Thank you for your effort. No, the profile "IC-7300-FT8.ini" unfortunately does not work! I think it can't work because it uses the device address Hex94 from the IC-7300 and not Hex76 which is assigned to the IC-7200. I edited the profile and replaced all the "Hex94" with "Hex76" and saved it as a new profile. Unfortunately, this does not work either; the CIV commands for the two devices are different.

@irad d Hello to you; OmniRig initialization tested with 7100-Data and 7300-Data, Cat control does not work! (IC-7100 uses Hex 88, IC-7300 uses Hex 94) Changing USB-D to USB in VarAC setup does not bring success. OmniRig initialization with "Rig type IC-7200 (Hex Adr 76)" the CAT control works when starting VarAC, the QRG set on the TRX is displayed; USB DataMode is not set and the radio switches to Mode RTTY.

Also with the Icom IC-7200, (IC-7200v2, IC-7200v2_2) and Cat via OmniRig V 1.20 it is the same problem: When opening the VARAC program or changing frequency, my radio sets to RTTY instead of USB-D
