We currently have a thunderstorm here, so I better disconnect the antenna and
disconnect down the transceiver for a couple of hours.

Both VHF gateways W7OWO-10 and W7YAM-10 are now using VARA FM Version 3.0.1

I've been told VARA FM V3.0.1 is not is not backwards compatible. So those wanting to use VARA FM on W7OWO-10 and W7YAM-10 in Yamhill County will need to upgrade as well. Considering the speed improvements I've seen it is well worth it. From my location I get lots intermodulation on W7YAM-10 which in Packet usually makes it difficult to keep a connection through the full exchange. With VARA FM 1.3.0 I could always get through the exchange but could be slow. While with Version 3.0.1, I can notice it is slower, but it still worked very well.

I have been trying for 5 weeks to get a vie GATEWAY operational with very little success. There was always something going wrong. I think I found most every way to fail there is. I watched videos, read articles, posted on sites, and asked locally with no luck. No one had the same set-up that I was using. Finally a non resident Elmer lead me down the right path. My real problem was using RMS Trimode. For VHF Trimode doesn't work, it creates a lot of internal problems. Once I erases Trimode and reconfigured Relay, everything else just worked the way it is supposed to.
