It would be nice if it was possible to clear unsent data from the TRANSMIT buffer. This would come in handy if the path had degraded to the point where the data was being sent a word at a time, with lots of NAKS from the "other end". Not sure how Vara-HF would handle this. Perhaps when this was done, a ABORTED text could be sent before the buffer was cleared?

I attempted to clear it, but as you noted above, once it is in the buffer we can't do anything. As soon as he reconnected, it moved from queue to buffer. I'd prefer that if disconnected, the queue be purged. Else that means an ever growing amount of redundant messages build up. Given the "expected behavior" I'll now have to kill an incoming request to clean up the messages, then reinitiate.
How about this? Today, a station connected to me but the link was marginal, thus my info string was in the buffer. He disconnected and immediately reconnected, adding a second info string, he then disconnected again, and reconnected. At this point, I have 3 info strings in the buffer. The datastream shows he disconnected each time, thus I'd think the buffer should clear, but it didn't. Bug? Or expected?
@wd4kav I know the feeling. I deal with it myself. unfortunatly, with the VARA HF modem - once the packet is in the modem buffer, there is not command to reset it / delete it. its like "fire and forget".
