Good evening
?
Enjoying trying to get linbpq setup for aprs -
?
Currently the only path I see on aprs.fi is tcpip. However, if I run Direwolf alone, I get an RF path, so something is amiss, by my own hand.
?
Here's my settings:
?

I am currently using DIREWOLF, more more success with that -
?
Wondering when running linbpq (APRS) will the Direwolf terminal screen show RF rx? So far, just seeing my tx.
?
I appreciate the feedback.

Don,
Your initial message indicated that libQt5Widgets.so.5 was missing... try
sudo apt install libqt5widgets5
73 de Rich WA3WLH

BTW, I have attempted this, as well.
?
sudo apt-get install qt5-default
sudo apt-get install libqt5serialport5
?
This error, too: ./QtBPQAPRS: cannot execute: required file not found

Probably you want to set:
IDINTERVAL=0
Then if you want to beacon per port, set it up in the configuration (web) under nodes->ports.

Re: Please do not re-write my @ARL bulletins to @WW
BPQ may not forward a bull addressed @ARL from the HR forwarding field. ?It will forward it to any station that has ARL in the AT column. ?Yes, the alias ARL:WW will cause BPQ to forward it as if it were addressed @WW without rewriting the address. ?
?
The big difference is that you will find many BPQ bbs sysops that will not bother with forwarding to non-hierarchical addresses. Many won’t even realize a bull addressed to a non-hierarchical address is not being forwarded. Addressed to @USA.NOAM would give the bull the best chance of reaching the largest USA audience.?
of course that’s just my opinion.?

I need to stop this from tx on the aprs port. Unsure which command that is in the cfg.

that. That is a good reason to do testing to get constructive
feedback.
Hi, Chris:
So, now I understand JNOS uses different criteria in the routing of
messages.
It seems to me that the routing interface between
JNOS<>BPQ(AA4RE,F6FBB) may
be the crux of the issue.
I am uncomfortable with the word 'rewrite'.
I urge you to consider routing [Bulletins,P,T] via @AREA ahead of
'TO' [addressee,topic].
'CW'? may be a common acronym in @SCA[.CA.USA.NOAM] and yet may have
a different
meaning/usage elsewhere.
I think this list server is a marvelous place to discuss
interoperability
among other software and BPQ32.

Hi, Mark:
Thank you for your post.
- Because it was how the author originated it.
- Because it was how the sender originally sent the bulletin.
- Some BBS operators may not want @ARL bulletins.
Those that do may ask their BPQ-BBS neighbors to add
ARL to their (AT or Hierarchical Routes (Flood Bulls))
forwarding entry.
(Note: The copy I found was 100% forwarded by BPQ-BBS.)
- Folks in Argentina and/or Portugal may not read en-US.
R:250503/1003Z 7579@...
LinBPQ6.0.24
...
R:250503/0951Z 2004@...
LinBPQ6.0.24
Would adding an 'Alias: ARL:WW' forward the same without forcing @WW
upon every BBS following?
Your opinion matters.
