The Maryland DC section runs a monthly exercise. We have been using VaraC to build operator skills for use and promoting the program for Emergency Communication. The monthly exercise involves target stations that run Vara modem with both VaraC and WINLINK (RMS Express) on both HF and 2M.
On 2M target stations run Vara FM P2P with WINLINK for several nights and then switch to Vara FM using VaraC. I tried connecting to a station this evening that turned out to be running WINLINK with Vara 2M. VaraC did not handle the input from the target station and crashed the Vara 2M modem client.
Submitting a bug report to request additional software for input parsing to gracefully handle input and not crash the Vara 2M modem.
Thank you for reporting.
Just to make Clearn - VarAC can not communicate with Winlink RMS. The expected behaviour in this case is the abort of the connection and restart the VARA modem (which is what I see in the log)
When you say crash, did VarAC closed itself ? It is not reflecting in the log file.
