I'd be interested in adding a Teensy RPR port to my Windows BPQ32 BBS/node. I would like to hear from others that have done this successfully.
A question comes to mind. Since my BPQ32 system continually scans multiple HF frequencies waiting for incoming calls, is it feasible to operate RPR in that configuration? Is it possible to detect incoming RPR connect requests, lock on, stop dcanning, and then open a session?
Are there any "gotchas" as relates to the Teensy RPR TNC, Windows BPQ32, and HF usage?
Thanks for any comments and/or suggestions.
Best regards,
Gary, K7EK

I just bought a SCS tracker clone called a Teensy RPR TNC for about $130.00EU. Add another $30 for a TNC-radio cable made by? (because I'm horrible at soldering my own cables) and one can hardly say this is an expensive venture...

The Teensy RPR TNC follows the former SCS Tracker that had its end of production in 2020 due to spare parts no longer available on the market.
The?Teensy RPR TNC is not a commercial product but an amateur radio project not aiming for any profit.?

As far as the software is concerned, it is still developed by SCS personnel. WinRPR was created with Peter from SCS. Not open source and still proprietary, but completely legal.

BTW, The Teensy TNC does KISS, so? I'm looking forward to adding RPR as a HF port on my BPQ BBS.

RPR either costs a lot in SCS hardware, or you run an illegally distributed piece of windows software. Neither are optimum solutions.
When Direwolf officially supports the current state of IL2P I'll be using it more again. CRC and the slower 150Bd settings are the interesting HF bits that have been added to ninoTNC recently.
