Thanks.
You are correct...my neighbor in #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM
got the 'nowhere to route' and the message was held.
Pshew, at least I didn't mess up hundreds of BBSs.

A WP Update arrived with the mis-configured HA about 11 days ago.
I was trying to assist the new sysop.
Alas, that new callsign does not have an email-of-record at qrz.com, so
I was trying to send a packet message to the new sysop.

I am suspending this endeavor. :-|

QTSOUNDMODEM audio question

#41839

I think there is a bug in Qtsoundmodem version 0.0.0.71 Beta. After noticing difficulty connecting at 300 Baud accompanied by a slightly different ax25 noise I noticed that the Both Tone Calibration sounded distorted. Unlike the clean Both Tone of the UZ7HO soundmodem.?

?I downloaded Qtsoundmodem.exe v0.0.0.61b and the problem was fixed. Calibration Audio Clean tones. I don't know if the problem was on my PC but I preferred to let you know so you can check it out. I'm sorry if it was my mistake.

I have been doing most of my packet with Direwolf and a Raspberry Pi. I probably should get familiar with Soundmodem also. More for the to-do list.

Chuck,

?

NAOM is not going to be valid in an HR at all.? Even if YOU have a route in a forwarding record that BPQ try and process and even send to your forwarding partner because his record has that error, the next BBS along the route will not.? Most likely somewhere along the line some BBS will return the "Nowhere to route message" and you end up with an undesired route?? It might even result in matching one element, NOAM, and the message is distributed to hundreds of BBS's across NOAM instead of to PA.? Use a proper route, and teach your users proper routing.

Adding

Next, find out what my neighbor BBS did with it after it arrived. :-|

I believe there are two ways for a message to be sent via internet mail from a BBS.

?

1.? If you have an ISP configuration in your main BBS configuration then the message will be sent to your ISP for delivery.

2.? To your RMS for delivery.

I believe the default is to send it to your ISP if configured, then to your RMS connection if it exists, then held due to "Nowhere to Forward."

Hi, Jim:

Thanks.
This is not a typo, I did it that way, but yes, it is a mal-formed HA. ;-)
I am learning something new about BPQ-BBS HA routing.
I have PA.US.NAOM in the HR field of a forwarding neighbor in #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM,
So, I was trying to, at least, forward directly into #WPA.
I was expecting to see a HA routing match ~ "depth of 3"<--NAOM.US.PA.
Like:
240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q????? Msg 23751 Routing Trace To W3PHB Via W3PHB@W3PHB.#WPA.PA.USA.NOAM
240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q????? Routing Trace Type P TO W3PHB VIA W3PHB@W3PHB.#WPA.PA.USA.NOAM Route On WW NA USA PA #WPA

240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q????? Routing Trace HR Matches BBS N3MEL Depth 4
240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q????? Routing Trace HR Best Match is K3CLM
240618 20:11:09 |K3CLM???? Connecting to BBS K3CLM

But, nooooo, with a non-standard/mal-formed HA, there is no mention of a 'Match', so it went to RMS. :-( Grrrrr.

I still think '*.PA.US.NAOM' is a 'Match' to my K3CLM Forward.
:-|
I assume that a BBS in #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM would not have a forward to HA: #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM,
thus the message would forward by @CALLSIGN.
Although, now I fear that K3CLM would next send the message to RMS. Alas!

I think the default should not be 'send everything not understood to RMS'.

Worth noting is that the speed of the serial port needs to be at least the sum of all the TNC’s serial ports in the daisy chain. This would suggest that your serial port speed should be set to the same as your on air speed because if you had 4 TNC’s in a chain where the serial speed was set to 9600 baud, the computer serial port would have to have a speed of 9600 x 4.

Yes I agree the "if one goes they all go" is a definite draw back with daisy chain topology.?

But, on the flip side if your running your node on Raspi you can now run a multi channel TNC system with nothing but the built in hardware(/dev/ttyAMA0) UART*.?

No more needing to mess with USB rs232 dongles or HAT's.? And the pi hardware UART can do at least 921,600 baud, so you could build quite a tall stack of TNC's even at 9600 radio speed :)?

*The pi hardware UART is 3.3v on the GPIO pins. You need to use a max232 chip or breakout board from amazon/ebay to match the pi to the rs232 levels on the tnc.?

F (Frack)
Default: 500
Possible parameters: 1…15000

?Frack“ is the maximum waiting time between the transmission of a packet and the confirmation by the distant station. (Afterwards a request back will be sent). With “The Firmware“ Frack is implemented as a dynamic “Round Trip Timer“ which adapts to the actual channel activities. The value set with the F-command serves as the start value for the automatism.
The time can be entered directly in seconds. With entries < 16 the value will be multiplied with 100 and then divided by 2. Entries > 15 are directly interpreted as milliseconds (L2-?Round Trip Time“).

?

my observation is

frack can be to high

too me it can open a placeholder for injection.

if the injection is a fit the injection can be anything?

?
? frack waits and responds to just about anything responding?

?

yes frack is an injection invite?

I think the coolest thing about 6pack is the way you can daisy chain TNC's via just their RS232's TX and RX's together in series like a token ring network. Doing this lets lets you run multiple TNC's on one rs232 PC port?
