Signal doesn't transmit

I have a Yeasu FT-991A and successfully broadcast using both JS8 and Winlink (using Vara HF). However I have recently added VarAC and cannot get a signal out. Had a more experienced buddy go through all my computer settings and they all seemed fine. He did not know my radio and could not comment on that, but thought it curious that Winlink and JS8 worked on the same radio. Any thoughts on how I might fix this? Thanks.

Missing a lot of critical info in order to really help you. Have you used the Forum here? Do a quick search for FT-991 and you will find several posts on what you need to configure on your radio, such as https://www.varac-hamradio.com/forum/varac-hf-discussion-forum/yeasu-ft-991-help-needed

Everything on computer checked out. Not sure how to screen shot. Rig control was Yeasu FT-991A. When i used the radio settings suggested in one of the posts, i lost control of CAT. They are back now. I am on 9600 baud. I apologize for my radio illiteracy, new to all of this.

Hi Chris. you did not answer any of my questions so I can not provide you with any answers... You did not even explained exactly what you are experiencing? "cannot get a signal out" is a very shallow description..

Does the PTT key and no audio goes ?
Is it a PTT issue not being triggered ?
We still need a screenshot of the VarAC screen and the Settings screen to understand your configuraiton. you do CTRL-PrintScreen and paste it to here in the reply.
