Vara question

When using varaFM and a digipeter, does the digi need to also be running varaFM software?

Thanks
Danny

Yes. The digipeater is a digital repeater. It needs to decode and understand the specific protocol you’re wanting to repeat. Each instance of VaraFM is capable of acting as a digipeater as long as it’s configured (by simply entering a callsign for the digipeater) to do so.

Thanks for the info. I always just thought a digi passed noise. Good too know why the local digi works with packet and not varaFM.
