One of the best video's on this subject yet, Just got started this weekend. Now I need to configure my old kenwood 850 for CAT control, Also hooking up VARAC for qso's. Thanks
I am glad that helped. Most of the sysops have their radios scanning multiple frequencies so sometimes it takes a while for their radio to scan and hear the frequency you are connecting on. 73
Not getting any type of reading on the AFC or S/N in Vara. Everything appears to be configured correctly and my HF rig is transmitting but unable to connect to anything. Thoughts? Tried to connect to several different Winlink stations and I'm unable to, Winlink telnet works fine
Not sure. You won't get any reading on AFC or S/N dials until a connect is made. Try checking sound card selection again and make sure the ALC level is not too high. You can click Tune in sound card settings and radio will begin transmitting and you can look at ALC level on your rig. If both input and output sound cards are correct then try other stations again. Don't know what else to check at this point.
The Audio Input gauge is set by setting the recording level in windows sounds and you set the ALC gauge on the IC-7300 with the playback level in windows sounds.

Glad it helped some. Good luck with the CAT control. 73.
Your advice to set retries to 15 was very helpful. I was finally able to connect after making that change!

So how do you set the gauges?
The Audio Input gauge is set by setting the recording level in windows sounds and
you set the ALC gauge on the IC-7300 with the playback level in windows sounds.
I have done this how do u send an email ?
Look me up (AG5DL) on QRZ.com and my email is on that page. 73
Does not explain what VAra is used for - only how to install it.
Can't read setup
How many minutes into the video is the setup you can''t read? You may want
to try changing you display resolution but I am not sure.
Just getting into Vara HF and Winlink. Thank you so much for this guide. 73 de G7BHE
