[Harc] My VHF Winlink Gateway

Hi.

I'm still seeing glitches on my Winlink Gateway (VHF side), when using 
VARA FM.
The log on the gateway says "weak signal detected", and I can't connect, 
but the signal strength meter (in the app) shows an overly strong signal.
The strong signal is to be expected, since my antennas are about 50' 
apart, even though I'm down to the lowest tx power I can set on my 
FT-991A (5W).
So, maybe the software is giving me this error message because the 
signal is too strong - IDK.

It has no problem connecting immediately, if I switch to packet.

So, why am I telling this?  I want to know if you have problems 
connecting to my VHF Gateway, using VARAFM.

Thanks!
