Problem using VarAC fm on 2M

I'm Having a Com port problem when using VarAC FM and IC-9700 and 2Meters. VarAC and Vara-FM use the same com port thus the conflict. Has anyone tried VarAC fm on the higher frequencies?

The IC-9700 PTT is assigned Com 4. Vara-FM PTT wants to use the same Com 4. It seems that both programs can not use the same port. When testing PTT on Vara-FM it works. Then if I try to send a beacon on VarAC it will not engage the IC-9700 PTT.

You need to decide who control your RIG.

if you let VARA FM do it - you need to disable he CAT control of VarAC.

If you want VarAC to control, you need to disable the VARA one.

Only one can control your RIG.

The advantage with VarAC is that it also controls the frequency and QSY and can disable your PTT etc. but its up to you.
