I would like to see the development as per other great modes in years gone bye .
1-Ability to allow late- joiner to an ongoing conversation .This has been available in other software modes and works very well .
2-Ability to monitor or options to allow user to be monitor another callsign ( tracking is not the right word to use bt essentially POLITE TRACKING .Example a friend with common interests .Optional for user - to be tracked or not in personal settings .
3-Load tests over link , I have license so it would be good to know what speeds can be achieved before trying to send a large file .
I will be reading the documentation thoroughly over the next few days and perhaps some of these points have been covered .
Thanks in advance

Since VarAC uses the VARA-HF modem, it is a one-on-one mode, and (unless you and the station you want to chat with, are using the BROADCAST function) it's not possible to join an "ongoing conversation".
The only way to monitor traffic from stations NOT in BROADCAST mode, is to run a separate copy of the VARA-HF modem, and use that to see traffic on a given slot. Monitoring this way requires reception of a rather strong signal, and there is no error checking, so many times you will not decode text from the stations in QSO on a slot
