New release: VarAC V10.4.3 “With Auto QSL generator, Callsign tags, Last known locator, VMail drafts, SSID support, Scroll down indicator and soooo much more!” “But that’s not all—there’s even more! Take a look at these additional enhancements you’ll find in V10.4:” Enhancements/Changes: Added new tags: <MYTIME> and <UTCTIME> to include time in your automated messages. VMail Drafts folder: Store VMails that are "works in progress" for later updates and sending. Added a "Skip if Active" option in the Application Launcher. Removing queued, but yet-to-be-transmitted broadcasts once a connection is established. Added a file explorer button next to each application in the application launcher for easy EXE selection. Replying to an urgent VMail is automatically marked as urgent. New tag <FS> to send your own frequency scheduler plan. Removed the inquire tags from the Gestures list (to create extra space), as they now appear in the new "Inquire" module. New GPS settings: Reconnect GPS indefinitely. New GPS settings: Show live GPS coordinates in the bottom strip on the main VarAC screen. You can now disable the "Leave a message" popup upon connecting to an unattended station (either from settings → QSO or from the popup itself). In EmComm mode, you can disable QSY popups once connected on a CF (new setting). Added custom CQ option "FF" for Flora & Fauna. Send PSK-Reporter self-report if remaining on the same frequency every 4 hours. Added an "Are you sure?" popup when canceling a VMail you’ve already started composing. Customization of the default QSO log (ADIF) comment text (override the default comment "QSO with VarAC"). Added "Copy Selected" on the right-click menu in the message viewer popup (when double-clicking a message in the Datastream). Made URLs clickable in the message viewer popup.” Bug Fixes: Preventing manual insertion of values into the wait time in the application launcher. When opening the Callsign Lookup, it previously locked the SQLite DB, preventing other traffic from being written. In Callsign History, broadcasts without a frequency were not loading. Removing the extra character after the alert tag is added to a broadcast. Fixing the troubleshooting link in the resources menu. It was not possible to edit a VMail in the Outbox while in Linux compatibility mode. Clicking a URL in the Datastream for a single-line message resulted in an error. Rigctld with SparkSDR had issues due to the wrong termination character (\r instead of \n). #hamradio #amateurradio #radio #varahf #varafm #varasat #varac #rf
