Rick: I wasn't sure if data compression was independent of the protocol so thanks for clearing that up. It would be wonderful to have a path simulator capable of handling ARQ

Thanks for the details Rick. Tony had good experience with path simulators , perhaps he will do one with VARA and PIII since he has access to both . In my limited experience with VARA , two connects

Tony, First forget about compression mechanisms. The same compression mechanism will work with all protocols as long as the protocol can send true binary data (no special codes) The

All: I'm having difficulty discerning the maximum data rate for Pactor-3 and Vara and I was wondering if the experts on the reflector could clarify? According to the

Wow, that is easy. As a gateway all you need is VARA and as a client, VARA and Winlink Express using Telenet Winlink session. It looks like you can't do peer to peer. I connected to

Hi John, Quite right. To each, his own. For me it is about receiving large catalog weather and news products and weather satellite images at sea, or in the Canadian wilderness. Emcomm, government

It is really simple, I asked because it sounded two simple. I have already had two connects to it. Will put it up on 20M again tomorrow during the day. Andy K3UK

Download the free version of VARA. Click on Run with Winlink Express (now you are the client) Click on Run as gateway (now you are the RMS) Seriously, it is that simple. Good concept as well, because

To run VARA in HF gateway mode , do you need anything other than VARA RMS express in gateway mode ? Andy K3UK

See this old message.. from July 2010. When we were actively testing varying versions of Winmor Andy obrien <k3ukandy@...> 7/16/10 to WINMOR 2010/07/16 16:24:05 *** Session:5.3 min; Avg

I am not sure if it is for the same reason, but in the early Winmor testing days I notice the same issues... it took Winmor a while to get up to full speed. Andy K3UK

As people have found VARA can be very fast once it gets going, so is very good for sending large messages. Unfortunately is has some characteristics that make it less effective on batches of small

i will try him today

VARA stations on PSK Reporter so far... We need more VARA RMS's to cover bad propagation. The only way to do some substantive

Same problem as initial Winmor Beta testing... Not enough RMS stations to cover bad propagation. We need more VARA RMS's

KE7XO is showing on 14.1035 MHz Nothing heard after three consequous connect attempts from Chicago

Is there any activity with VARA on 20M?

The PIII versus VARA example you posted , while separated by a few minutes and potentially different conditions, does give a ballpark comparison . I am encouraged. Andy K3UK
