Vara HF and Vara FM are widely used in the U.S. for RF access to the <br>
Winlink messaging system.<br>
<br>
Vara HF is gaining popularity for use with VarAC, keyboard-to-keyboard <br>
communications client, and with various clients for APRS position <br>
reporting on HF.<br>
<br>
I don't think "closed modes" are frowned upon in the U.S.<br>
