Re: Hardware for new node
I sat up a LinBPQ node a year ago with a Raspberry Pi 4 and Direwolf for VHF Packet. Eventually it will have a Winlink RMS but Internet is slow to show up. I also used the small UPS in the following link:

It has been working well but I do know there will be some challenges when we add VARA HF.? VARA does work with Wine and I am working out some scripts at home QTH to autostart, check for the radio, etc.
?
Radio is Kenwood TM-271 and a Rigblaster Plus for the interface with a serial PTT. Both were rotated out of service from the county EOC.

If you are not familiar with Linux, sticking with a Windows based computer might be easier. I think good results can be had on both platforms, but it has been a challenge for me to work with Linux. If I wasn't retired, I don't think I would have had the time to go up the learning curve. The caution with Windows is to watch out for those big-box store cheap laptops. They tend to be bloated with teaser software packages and junk that gets in the way.

Probably you've enabled Event Reporting but not set up any programs
to run.
BPQMail can run an executable on certain events.
new message
message read
This is enabled by adding this to? bpq32.cfg
EnableEvents=1
For mail events:
On the web interface, MailMgmt/Configuration enable:
Enable Event Reporting
The BBS will call the following in the bpq directory when a new
message arrives (For Windows add .exe to the filename)
MailNewMsg
It will run the following on a message being read:

The program is passed a parameter string in the format

Re: Errant connect script
Most likely it is an L4 connect, which are compared to the EXCLUDE list.? Do you have an exclude list you can add his?name to?
Thanks Mark. I was not recalling that functionality, but i found it here.
Now I know how to do it. :-)

Audio device is unstable with QtSoundModem (linux mint)
I am having issues with the audio levels for QtSoundmodem. and Direwolf so I dont think it is an issue with the software per se but the levels dont seem to stay static even after doing a alsactl store
They show the values are the same but direwolf shows audio input low even though it was just fine the last time I ran it QtSoundmodem shows very little recv audio on the bar graph.. very confusing
Here is a system report snippet of my audio system

If inbound traffic is forwarded to a
