I would suggest using QtSoundModem rather than UZ7HO's version.
Configure it to use the KISS interface, not the AGW interface.
A typical BPQ port config is
PORT
?ID=QtSM APRS
?TYPE=ASYNC
?PROTOCOL=KISS
?IPADDR=127.0.0.1
?TCPPORT=8100
?CHANNEL=A
?MAXFRAME=4
?FULLDUP=0
?FRACK=4000
?RESPTIME=3000
?RETRIES=10
?PACLEN=236
?TXDELAY=500
?SLOTTIME=100
?PERSIST=64
ENDPORT
Set TCPPORT to the KISS port set in the QtSM configuration
A minimal APRS config is
APRSDIGI
?APRSCALL=XXXXXX
?Symbol=-
?Symset=/
?StatusMsg=IGate(IO92KX)
?MaxStations=1000
?MaxAge=1440
?BeaconInterval=30
?APRSPATH 1=APRS,WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1
?TraceCalls=WIDE
?DigiCalls=WIDE1-1
?MaxTraceHops=2
?MaxFloodHops=2
?ReplaceDigiCalls
?; Speciy LAT/LONG?in standard APRS Format (Degrees, Minutes, Decimal fraction of minute
LAT=DDMM.mmN
LON=DDDMM.mmW
; These are for connecting to APRS-IS
?ISHost=euro.aprs2.net??? ; a host in the USA may be more appropriate
?ISPort=14580
?ISPasscode=xxxxx

Gang, I have been using BPQ32 for about four months now but I still cannot crack the code for running a APRS station. I have been experimenting with creating/editing my BPQ32.cfg file but still can not get it working. Can someone provide me a BPQ32.cfg template that I can use with my UZ7HO Soundmodem for just one RF port on 144.390? I also want to add the digipeater function to my local area if possible. I live in Pike County Ohio.
Once I get my APRS station up and running I plan on slowly adding more ports and functionality to my packet station.
Thanks in advance for you help!
