Getting on the map

 

I completed setting up my Pi Zero with Direwolf and BPQ.? It checks out fine.? I am a Winlink sysop.? How do I get my RMS to appear in the Winlink RMS map and to appear in the available packet station list when selecting a RMS station to send a message through.? Thanks, NQ8W
 

I too am planning on setting up a Winlink gateway over by Mansfield, Ohio with the same setup. Presently I am in the "collecting parts" stage.

One thing I know about the Winlink map is that it only shows gateways that have had activity for (I think..) the last 4 hours. If you can, connect to your gateway, or have someone else connect to it and?send an email. Then wait about 30 minutes. It should show up.

As far as having it appear in the packet station list, I can't help you. My guess is that eventually it will show up.?

Geeze! What is he up to now?
 

Assuming you followed my video on setting up the gateway, it should put you on the map without any additional work. With that said, my station disappeared from the map a month or so back. I updated to the latest version of BPQ at that time and it solved the issue. The version I am currently running is 6.0.24.2. To find your version, you can run "screen -r bpq" which opens the terminal for bpq. The version number will be at the top of the terminal window.

Mike is sorta correct. It will only show stations that have reported in the last four hours. The BPQ software is responsible for the reporting. No actual connections need to be made.

If you are running 6.0.24.2 or later and it still isn't showing up, jump over to the BPQ forum /g/bpq32/topics A lot of knowledgeable folks there that are much more qualified than I to chase down the issue.
