The working Vara "radio settings" I have are:

• Icom 7200
• Address:94
• USB Digital
• COM4 (change to fit your setup)
• Baud: 19200
• Enable RTS
• Enable DTR
• PTT Port:Icom 7200

Some of those seem a little odd to me (e.g., I think address 94 is for a 7300), but they are working just fine regardless. I tried Ardop once with the same settings, and it worked. Ardop was quite slow relative to Vara.
