Live on March 20, 2022. The one where we get you up and running with Winlink by walking through a complete station setup. We will install and configure Winlink, SoundModem by UZ7HO, VARA FM, and a SignaLink so we can send winlink email messages via Telnet, VHF Packet, and VARA FM. Our station and micoPC will be running entirely on battery power with solar charging.
If you are new to winlink or like me are needing to set up a new station from scratch, you won't want to miss this episode of WaveTalkers LIVE.

Very good. So much to learn: Winlink, VARA, APRS, JS8CALL, VaraAC, and so much more! And more every day!😎 Thanks for all you do!

Thanks for learning with us @dougbas3980

@TaterFarmer154 2 года назад

Exactly what I wanted/needed. Great step by step guide. Mine still won’t connect but I think something is set wrong with my radio TX settings. It did receive APRS great. Thank you.

Where is a written tutorial for winlink, im learning slow on winlink

@WaveTalkers 4 месяца назад

go to wavetalkers.com and click on the Resources section. You can find getting started content. PDFs and short videos. the Help files for Winlink are also quite helpful. 73 W6AH

@Dennis-tf2cs Год назад

So for an actual grid down EMCOMM situation, you would want to use the Update Table via Radio correct?

@WaveTalkers Год назад

Ideally you would have a recent update or preferably marked Favorites, already stored that could get you to a RMS gateway in a grid down situation. Then yes, update via radio for the latest propagation table updates. In a large scale grid down scenario you would likely have better luck with HF links to distant gateways that are out of the immediate disaster zone.

When would you use soundmodem vs vara? I guess I don't understand why both are necessary. Thanks

@WaveTalkers 7 месяцев назад

SoundModem is used for packet protocols and VARA FM / HF is used for VARA based. Depending on the gateways and operators in your local area you may tend to use one or the other. Learning both is a big benefit. SoundModem is often helpful for troubleshooting basic computer to radio connections.

@@WaveTalkers Thanks. I got up and running with your tutorial earlier. Moving on to learn VarAC now!

@mo-gee7151 2 года назад

Hi and Great work, TY! If you are not using a signal link what is the proper setting for the speaker and microphones in the sound control panel?

@WaveTalkers 2 года назад

Depends on your radio and sound card. Trying to use a built in sound card always seems like a great plan but it can be very difficult to get it to work reliably. Using an external sound card like a signalink or a board designed for the purpose tends to yield much better results.

@mo-gee7151 2 года назад

@@WaveTalkers You fixed my issues with the signalink video TY so much!!! . Im almost on Vara HF. But When I download Silicon Labs USB Driver the Com and LPT doesnt say Silicon Labs it says another (Probably Windows Driver port number 4) but there is a warning Yellow Triangle and my Icom 7300 cannot be seen buy the pc. I uninstalled the SIlicon Labs Drivers successfully but they dont work in the C drive folder I made for it. Did I screw it up? Im hoping to get Vara HF. TY Eric

@@mo-gee7151 Make sure your 7300 is not connected to your PC. Install the driver, and then try rebooting your PC. When it boots back up, Click on Start and type Device Manager. Open the Device manager then turn on your 7300 and connect the USB cable. You should see a the COM ports line appear in Device Manager. Click the + to open that up. and you should see the Silicon Labs listing with a port number. That should be your 7300.
