After hours and hours, I cannot get VARA FM to work with any of my BaoFeng UV-5Rs, or a Yaesu FT-60, or a BaoFeng GT-3TP and the problem is the same with them all. NO SIGNAL. I’ve watched the YouTube video from Denis several times and believe it is a radio issue. I can hear increasing volume signal…

I forgot the really confusing part; my elmer has the same set up and his DigiRig would work with my equipment and mine wouldn’t work with his.

Do you test yours and elmer’s kit with the same radio at the same location?

[image] Greg56: what am I missing? That sounds frustrating. I went through a similar experience when I started Vara FM with my Baofeng HT. I was using Windows and it took me a while to understand that AGC must really be unset in the OS. [Screenshot 2023-12-28 180846] I use mmsys.cpl in t…

Yes sir, we tested his radio, then swapped to mine and it worked. Then put my DigiRig inline and it would not work. Set up my system and no signal, put his DigiRig inline and it worked. We had emailed back and forth, my new DigiRig came in today which I thought for sure would work but still no luc…

I use the speaker icon in the lower right corner, AGC is unchecked, the connector is fully seated (learned of that issue with a speaker/mic), one of these days…

OK, so you didn’t make the mistakes I did! Good! [image] Greg56: we tested his radio, This is usually a good way to find out if a component is bad. What is his radio? A Baofeng HT like yours? Some radios use a Digirig with RS232 levels or CI-V signaling. The Baofeng requires a Digirg us…

[image] Greg56: I use the speaker icon in the lower right corner, AGC is unchecked I don’t know how to get to the AGC setting from that sound icon in the lower righthand corner, so good you found a way. 73 Constrainted

The swapout sounds suspicious. Are you getting your Digirigs v1.9 from Denis @K0TX ? 73 Constrainted

[quote=“Constrainted, post:7, topic:3258”] This is usually a good way to find out if a component is bad. What is his radio? A Baofeng HT like yours? Yes his was a BaoFeng UV-5R also Some radios use a Digirig with RS232 levels or CI-V signaling. The Baofeng requires a Digirg using logic levels. Bot…

I have isolated the problem. I have a Kenwood TS-2000 running through a SignaLink which works great, but it’s not very portable. When I do a auto tune it goes through the 10 steps and when the screen reads “waiting for response” a get a short digital reply through the TS-2000 that I can’t hear ove…
