Windows 10 Professional
VarAC version 8.4.4
Using a Yaesu FT-100.
Using a purchased CAT cable.
CAT frequency control works perfectly.
CAT PTT works fine when I use the PTT ON - PTT OFF buttons in the Settings;
But the system does not trigger the transmit when I actually try to send a beacon or a CQ.

I found the problem. Shame I could not report this earlier, because after I post a bug, I have no access to it to add more details, or to report I found the issue.
In this case, I discovered that the VARA system itself had a problem with the sound card. It must have reported this problem back to VarAC (and I had no ieda it could do that) and as result, VarAC did not switch on the transmitter. But it DID do it in Settings, obviousely overriding any errors from the VARA HF program.
So problem resolved.
Thanks, Bart
