Setting up RadioMail
RadioMail provides the best Winlink email experience on a mobile device. It is an iOS app that allows operators to use Winlink while portable. For more information on how to use RadioMail, take a look at this presentation on YouTube by Georges Auberger WH6AZ, the creator for RadioMail.
Procedure:
-
Open RadioMail and then open the
Settings
option. -
Open the
Vara FM Modem
option under Devices -
Set the IP address and port numbers for the Vara FM modem. By default, Windows will have this network created as a
192.168.137.0/24
with192.168.137.1
ast the default gateway. -
For the UV5R this is the end of the setup. From this point you should be able to select a repeater with Vara FM capabilities and use Vara FM as a modem in the mini-pc.
If using a radio that supports HF, you can now setup Vara HF. The procedure is very similar to Vara FM:
-
Open
Settings
->Vara HF
. Add the IP address of the default gateway (e.g.: 192.168.137.1). If usingrigctld
add the same IP of the default gateway here and the default port number forrigctld
of 4532
With this, you are now ready to use RadioMail with a Vara FH and HF modem.
