Virtual Audio Cables Notice

#####Are you using VAC’s? If so, READ THIS!

With FT8 taking the bands by storm and the 6m season starting to heat up we wanted to remind everyone who is using virtual Audio Cables (VAC’s) with digital modes on RHR that there have been a number of reports of “BOING’s” on the digital bands recently. This is due to using VAC software with TRIAL versions of VAC’s. If you download the TRIAL versions, the software sends a female voice overlay every 5 seconds or so and is 3KHz wide.

From the VAC website:

Trial version the following limitations:

Supports up to 3 cables. ####Adds female voice reminder each several seconds.

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that if you are using VAC software on RHR you should be testing your TX using the RHR/TEST site to monitor your TX audio. It is also HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you purchase a license for your software to remove the “TRIAL VOICE REMINDER”

Additionally, there seems to be a bug in the latest version of VAC 4.5.1 which produces “distorted” audio, if you are using this version, downgrade to version 4.15.

Any users found using the TRIAL versions over the air on RHR will have their accounts suspended until proper audio setup is completed.

If you have questions, please ask!

73 and GL DX!
