Re: VARA Speeds IN and OUT of BPQ32 RMS
开云体育That might suggest it in running unlicenced. Are you sure you are using the call that is registered?With VARA HF you get a message in the status window showing if it is registered but I'm not sure if VARA FM does the same. 73, John On 09/07/2022 20:33, Bob AF9W wrote:

VARA Speeds IN and OUT of BPQ32 RMS
We have been doing some testing with VARA FM.? One station is running Winlink Express with VARA Wide on Windows 10.? I have a BPQ32 6.0.23.1 running on Windows 10 with VARA FM 4.2.3.??
When we send a message with an 18K attachment to a CMS through my RMS, we get speeds of 21000 bps.? If we receive the same message with attachment through the RMS it never goes faster than Level 1, i.e., 586bps.?? Both stations are running licensed VARA FM Wide with DRA-50 modems properly tuned.?? Any ideas why the difference between sending and receiving.? Here is the VARA section of my bpq32.cfg ;** Port 6 VARA ***

Lots of us swap our nodes between those two frequencies. BBS is fine on those frequencies, that's most of what you will see. NODES broadcasts are not welcome,? APRS and forwarding are generally frowned upon.? The dial frequencies are 14.105 LSB and 7.104 LSB. If you use a filter (I use 350Hz), you need to shift your bandpass filter up to center on 1700Hz tones (down in RF.) For mt 991A, I just dial in +200 shift.? When you start Direwolf,? it's good to enable forward error correction. In the terminal you can type "direwolf -X 1". |

Re: WinRPR + ic7100 to rigctld PTT
开云体育KISS ports don't support a RIGCONTROL section.I find it easier to let bpq control the radio, as this simplifies sharing a radio with several modems. I run WinRPR and QtSM, and sometimes VARA and/or ARDOP. My winrpr config is: ? [PROGRAM] ; WATERFALL 0 = COLORED, 1 = BW "inverted", 2 = BW "normal" WATERFALL:0 ; FOOTPRINT OF WinRPR: 0=normal, 1=small SMALLSIZE:0 [END] [PTT] ; PTT COM number PTTPORT:54 ; Set to 1 if DTR should be used instead of RTS USEDTR:0 [END] ;[COMOUT] ; Set it to a COM port generated by com0com tool ;COMOUTPORT:3 ;[END] [TCP] TCPPORT:8505 [END] [TNC] ; # is used as ESC character #s 0 ; set mycall!!! #i GM8BPQ ; set transmit level!!! #%xr 400 #%B R300 #%F 2000 ; activate KISS, if required ;#@K [END] [AUDIO] RX:1 TX:5 [END] As you can see, I'm using DED Host mode instead of KISS, and a TCP connection. My com0com port pair are com54/55. The relevant bits of my bpq32.cfg are RADIO 2 ?? ?COM7 19200 ICOM IC7100 88 PTT_SETS_INPUT PTTMUX COM55 HAMLIB=4532 **** This is using the new format, with a separate RADIO section instead of RIGCONTROL in a PORT definition. I find this clearer when the same config applies to more than one port, but you could put the same line in RIGCONTROL in your WinRPR port if you prefer. PTTMUX COM55 tells rigcontol to look for RTS changes on COM55 (linked to COM54 used by WinRPR) and convert to CI-V PTT commands. HAMLIB=4532 tells rigcontrol to emulate rigctld, an is used to key QtSM on the same radio. PTT_SETS_INPUT is only needed if you have a hardware tnc connected to the acc port of the 7100 as well as soundcard TNCs PORT ?ID=WinRPR New ?TYPE=EXTERNAL ?COMPORT=4 ?SPEED=38400 ?DRIVER=WinRPR ?PACLEN=80 ?INTERLOCK=2 ?;PORTCALL=GM8BPQ-10 ?

Messages not being marked "PF" after forwarding completes
Hello, I have an issue with one remote BBS where after completion of forwarding, the message doesn't get labeled "PF" in my BBS - remains "PN".? This has been happening through multiple versions of BPQ - upgrades on either side do not fix it.? Fortunately the message does not remain queued, so there are no more attempts to forward it after it has been forwarded once.? Therefore it appears to be a superficial labeling issue. The BBS log for a recent forward is shown below. This is happening only with the W9GM-1 BBS. It's not a big deal, but it would be nice to get to the bottom of it. 220709 16:44:35 ?K5DAT ? ?

WinRPR + ic7100 to rigctld PTT
Hi,
I am experimenting with WinRPR and bpq.?? I think that I somehow got the rigcontrol messed up.? BPQ is wintel rev 6.0.23.1 June 2022. PTT works fine with QTSM and hamlib here so the server (rigctld.exe) is running fine.? However the following port config does not key the radio, so maybe someone has some insight as to what I have wrong.? Rig is an IC-7100, Serial ports are managed with Com0com and win4icom suite.?? So I could assign another comport pair and use the icom CI-V but for now hamlib was the shortest path on everything else modem wise here. WinRPR config
Thanks in advance for your time and comments. 73 Kayne N9SEO
