Tactical 2750Hz

Hello there,

How about the tactical mode / option 2750Hz beside the 500, 2300, selection.

Most of the RMS's in Australia are using this mode for Vara HF Winlink.

Would be a great option to have. Up to 20% better performance than 2300Hz

I really like VarAC and the way its heading. Hoping more people get on board. It gets lonely at times putting out CQ's with no connections. FT8 gets a bit boring.

Keep safe.

Cheers

Would like to see this option as well. Nice app, works well. We do a lot of file transfers with VARA Chat; faster the better for ARES operations.

Maybe a "hidden" option that requires a different registration? Thinking commercial ($$) use...

2300Hz works well though, and I do see your point.

Keep up the great work,

-Gord.

Thank you for your reply Irad.

I was thinking more to do with file transfers. Not in chat mode. eg Sending files, HB9AVK sent me his ini file to help sort out an issue I had with LHP. And share photo's etc, at a reduced size of cause.

Thanks again Irad, keep safe.

Well - I did some digging. small amount of RIGS actually can support that wide BW. most modern one of course can but most legacy can't. I believe this will generate a lot mess as people will try and fail which will create some negative sentiments for the project.

Maybe in the future. the 20% benefit is not enough of an incentive when counting the downsides I see.

I hope you understand my stand on this.

Hi Mark.

For pure chat, 500Hz is enough. 2300 is an over kill not mentioning 2700.

We are not endorsing wide spectrum chats at the moment. We do offer 2300 as some folks are interested in this for testing on other non-calling frequencies, but on an ongoing basis - we have decided to stick to 500Hz when it comes to HF.

Thank you for your kind words and your support :)

73s!
