Hi all, is there anyone out there that has successfully set up the FTDX10 with VARAC/VARA HF? I have installed the latest version of both applications but obviously missing something in the setups. I have scoured the web for tutorials but I cant seem to get anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I do not have the CAT working but I am seeing some activity on VARAC screen but no rig control. The Beacons are showing activity and I did see at lest one CQ all station.
I have set everything up as I have seen the examples here but still not connecting to the radio.
Data mode or USB? Mine is working, but it sure seems USB is much more sensitive than data mode. Anyone else notice this?
I finally got everything working. As a last resort, I did a reset on my dx10, then double checked my settings and made changes to match what you posted, and it worked the first time. Thanks for your help…
Mark…. I’ve checked for that. What should I have my RPTT set to. Currently it is RTS, but no joy. Tried DAKY as well, not again, no joy. It seems like the modem is not recognizing the PTT, so that’s where I’ve been focusing my attention.
I’m having a problem with getting the VARA modem working with VarAC. Works fine with WinLink/vara hf, I can see my waterfall and the PTT test in the VarAC settings work, but when I try to transmit, or press tune on the modem, nothing comes out. Any suggestions?
try to set com port , with correct speed default should be 38400, stop bit 2
I have a DX10 and am running it under Win4Yaesu. I basically set it up the same as with Winlink. What are your symptoms? Can you receive and see the waterfall and is it 500 or 3000? What happens when you try to transmit?
I have the FTDX10 working fine with varac / vara hf. if you have whatsapp / telegram / messenger / skype I could help you out.
