Re: linbpq64 forwarding problems personal messages.
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Niels, Just normal, when that message goes out and it uses the exact route as configured as it is the only configured route to that destination.Another message with the same destination, exact same address, never goes in the queue. Message exchange between BPQ and FBB side of the Netrom link is:? FF? in the end. (No, message to send). I have to go over that trace again. Also all the best for 2025 en een prettige jaarwisseling! 73, Bob (Boudewijn) VE3TOK

Re: Ping/Poll possibility?
Not quite the same as a specific ping / poll but...
Decades ago a bunch of us with PK232's used what AEA called the "QRA Feature" which was on by default but could be disabled. If on and an unproto packet to destination QRA was received the PK232 would respond within 1 to 16 seconds by sending an unproto to ID. Some TAPR's also did this but none of the KPC's I've owned did. The upside was knowing whether a particular station was "online" or within range given where the HF path was at the time. The downside was it could busy the frequency briefly if there were multiple stations trying to send an ID response. Many of us with active nodes or simple MBX using PK232's back then would leave the QRA feature enabled as an indication that the node / MBX was up and available. Those that mostly did k2k would disable the QRA feature and at their discretion would manually send an unproto ID response as an indication that they were at the keyboard and available for a k2k session. Again not quite the functionality of a ping / poll but I would think it not too difficult to script up a BPQ application to do something similar using standard connect vs unproto and something like QSL? rather than QRA <shrug>... 73 de Rich WA3WLH |

Thanks I missed adding the quality parameter it was set as zero! Bob

Re: BPQ32 config question
OK maybe that is it, I want to broadcast my nodes on my 2 RF ports, both ASYN and Kiss..... I see others doing it with BPQ nodes on my RF links Bob

If I understand this correctly, you are asking for BPQ nodes to be coded to be able to send the "ping" and also respond to it.? So this would work only with other BPQ nodes in RF range, correct? 73, Lee K5DAT |
Ping/Poll possibility?
I am wondering if there would be anyway to add a command to BPQ that would allow you to "Ping" or "Poll" to see what stations on RF are hearing you.
The way I see it is: PING # where # is the port number.
?
Stations that hear the "ping" and have a port config flag:
?
PING_RESP = TRUE
?
set would then send their beacon.
?
The purpose of this would be to allow packet users to hear connectable stations without waiting however long for the beacon to show up.

Re: BPQ32 config question
The node does not seem to like the BROADCAST statement in the port definition! I get an error at node startup indicating "Source record not recognized: BROADCAST NODES" Bob
