Varanny using Beelink Mini S12

Aloha Everyone-

So, I purchased the Beeline Mini S12 PC. I got it setup and installed Winlink Express and VARA FM. I’m able to successfully run VARA FM via Winlink express. However, when I ran Varanny, I can set the audio fine on RadioMail but when I run a session there is no PTT and it disconnects immediately. VARA window on Beelink does open but no PTT.

Interesting enough, I’m able to run Varanny on my Dell laptop windows 11 and Surface Pro Windows 10 just fine.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Can you post your varanny.json file?

Hello-

Cut and paste my varanny.json file. I have a THD75

{
“Port”: 8273,
“Modems” : [
{
“Name”: “THD75”,
“Type”: “fm”,
“Cmd”: “C:\VARA FM\VARAFM.exe”,
“Config”: “C:\VARA FM\VARAFM.thd75.ini”,
“Port”: 8300
}
]
}

Ok so presumably the VARAFM.thd75.ini should have the correct AUDIOCARD and PTT section that VARA FM expect. What soundcard are you using and how do you expect to drive PTT (VOX or COM port)?

I’m using same DigiRig Lite soundcard. No Comport. Using RA-Board as setup in VARA. Similar to same setup you have on the video. My question is why would Varanny work on my Dell laptop and Surface pro? Using same soundcard. VARAFM.THD75.INI are similar…. No problems with PTT…
