Priority: LOW
I'm running VarAC V8.0.6. It appears that the beacon frequency is hardcoded at 15 minutes. There have been many posts requesting shorter intervals, and I understand Irad's resistance to doing this. However, I tried to increase the interval, for instance to 20 minutes. When I "Save and Exit" and then reopen the settings, it is back to 15 min. I also tried editing VarAC.ini. However, VarAC rewrites the file setting it back to 15 minutes on startup. Thus, it appears that there is no way to move the interval from 15 minutes. If this is intentional, I think that the configuration parameter should be removed from the file and from the Settings interface.
I don't really want to set the interval to 20 minutes. I really wanted to set it to 10, but when that failed I tried 20 and found the above behavior. I understand and accept not allowing it to be less than 15, and I know how to force a quicker beacon by turning them off and back on.

LEss then 15 minutes beacons are allowed but only for VARA-FM (5 minutes).
For HF - the minimum is indeed 15.
I tried to save it on 20M with no issues using the settings screen.
Can you please try that ?
