Thanks for response.

Will that leave the 2nd part (SUBMODE) still in there? DYNAMIC VARA HF Or does the SUBMODE disappear when the DYNAMIC gets changed to DATA ? Thanks Orrin WN1Z

Dave, it is a Lenovo model a couple years old. ... Since i switched to Omni-rig i haven't had the soundcard disappear on me, but there are a couple problems, such as when i've QSYd to have a chat, when i'm finished the radio goes back to the main frequency, but the program stays on the QSY frequency, so i have to change it on the drop-down menu. ... Also, it looks as though the sounds are muted even tho i left that box unchecked. ... So, it's not trouble-free, but i'm able to operate. ... Also, i don't know if Omni-rig is actually necessary, but i'm leaving it on for now. ... Also, i am not willing to upgrade to Win11.

G4AON Dave, well it's some comfort that someone else is experiencing this. Like you, this happened suddenly (overnight) in the past 3 or 4 days. Maybe it is the Windoze updates. -- Orrin WN1Z

I did manage to get the soundcard working again in Varac. (1) I switched to OmniRig and that caused me to be able to manage the soundcard, (2) I still was getting "zip" for the level of the soundcard. ("Missing soundcard.") (3) Then, inside VARA, i hit the TUNE button, and the soundcard came to life. I don't know why it did that. I also don't know if Omnirig was necessary -- i'll try that another day, Can someone say what hitting the TUNE button in VARA had to do with it? (I know it's for setting the ALC, but my 991A was already not too far off.) ... Thanks for the 22 views of this post so far.

And I see there is more than just the tag . Quite a bit more than that.

Thanks for response.

Still interested in knowing if anyone has tried globally replacing with in the ADIF file. And if so, was it successful at LoTW.
