Re: pilinbpq 'missing libconfig.so.9'

 

Thanks John,

We are back in bussiness.

Re: pilinbpq 'missing libconfig.so.9'

 

The 15th Feb beta version is the latest. The version in the Downloads directory is a rebuild of the latest release 6.0.21.1 that I had accidentally deleted. But I built it from the published source that dynamically loads libconfig. I've rebuilt linked statically and re-uploaded.

Just wondering if I downloaded the wrong file.

Did an auto-update and mine failed as well. Is there another location to download from?

Re: APRS-only port?

 

Set QUALITY=0 on the APRS port.

You can't selectively disable ID frames, you can only turn off for the whole system (by setting IDINTERVAL=0).

Hello,

I want to 'advertise' a local VHF packet node & BBS (running on 144.875 MHz) by adding another VHF port on 144.800 MHz (APRS-only) where I just want it to send APRS beacons (GPS position) once per hour, as well as to receive local APRS traffic and plot it on the map.

What I do not want is that new port sends nodes broadcast and node IDs, as those two add unnecessary traffic on the APRS channel. So how to stop the new port to behave as 'regular' node/bbs port? (I added to my config the port params from the APRS sample, and it does send GPS location to the map. But as I said, nodes broadcast and station ID are not wanted.

That is a bit weird. Assuming you want to use the USB serial port it should be COMPORT=/dev/ttyUSB0, but if it says it is trying to open ttyAMA0 then maybe you are looking at the wrong bpq32.cfg.

Re: No Line Feeds after Carriage Returns

Codematic Chris
 

Ahh the eternal battle of what exactly is the End Of Line.??

With windows putty make sure he applied the setting to the current session or save it to the session and disconnect / reconnect.

If all else fails create a new saved session from defaults and add the settings.

I've often had this discussion with "younger" folks and they are convinced it's broken because it's 2 commands CR LF.. its not until I explain how a typewriter works that they see the light...?

I don't think my last comment was correct. Connects to TCPPORT should send CRLF, connects to FBBPORT only CR.

Re: No Line Feeds after Carriage Returns

The packet standard is to end lines with CR.?? I'm surprised that setting "Implicit Line Feed in every C/R" in Putty doesn't work, but generally it is better to use one of the versions of BPQTermTCP rather than a normal telnet client.

Re: Disconnect not recognized

It’s Pactor on HF ?using an SCS PTC-IIusb. The connect script has ATT 4, RADIO to set freq and mode, the C to call, then ELSE, PAUSE 5, and another attach, radio, and call command set. Poor propagation recently has resulted in more dropped connections after successfully connecting to the other station. But, I don’t remember having the “already connected” messages so frequently in the past.
