Greetings everyone,

This email is intended for anyone who wishes to learn about VARA FM

As a followup to last week's Winlink Zoom, we will talk about using VARA FM this Saturday, January 22nd. Randy Neals, W3RWN or better known as VE3RWN has already created a presentation that he did at the MicroHAMS Conference in 2020. Randy does a much better job of explaining this than I ever could so instead of me re-inventing the wheel, I will post the YouTube link below of his presentation and demo so that you can watch in advance of Saturday's meeting. Please note that this presentation is two years old and demos an older version of VARA and VARA FM but the software still operates the same. VARA FM v4.1.8 was just released.

The focus of Saturday's zoom meeting will to answer questions on what you need to do to get VARA FM up and running. Barry, VE3BLM will demonstrate the Auto Tune and Ping functions as well as a file upload to VE3KPG RMS Gateway.
