Hi John and all. I've added a 'PAUSE 5' to my forwarding script after the ATTach statement and this has solve the issue. Sorry for not knowing this, but I appreciate the suggestions!

Re: Unable to decode QtSoundModem Beta v0.0.0.62 1200 baud AFSK

 

I can confirm this is now working as expected in .64

Thanks to John / Red / Nino for helping with this and getting it sorted, much appreciated

Compiling QtTermTCP on a Mac

 

I've got QT5 installed via Brew and was able to compile the source for QtTermTCP on John's website. But when I tried to do the same with the 0.64 source on John's Github it fails with the below. ?Is there a way to edit the Makefile so that it doesn't bother with the audio side of things? I just want to use it to connect to my linbpq RPi on my lan.

BBS Forwarding using the BBS callsign . .

 

Hi Everyone,
? Our group have 3 BBS (dw1irf-4), (dw1ott-4) and (du3fs-4) that forwards to each other without problems except
when I (dw1irf) use the DU3FS-4 or the DW1OTT-4 BBS and sends a packet mail to anyone who uses the (DW1IRF-4 BBS) as their Home BBS.?
I am using Winlink Express. Example, sending a packet mail to 4g1rmc@.... The mail is sent to the BBS but just stays there.
It doesn't get queued for forwarding. If I use a different callsign (k6irf) and sends the same packet mail to the same BBS it gets forwarded?
to the DW1IRF-4 BBS. Is there a setting that I just missed? or maybe a work-around. Thanks! Lot / k6irf | dw1irf.??

Re: Trying to get VARA working - no PTT?

 

Hi John. Yes, the rig keys with VARA Tune. VARA also works when I use VARA Terminal or VarAC.

The signalink should be doing the PTT. Does the rig key if you do a VARA Tune?

Trying to get VARA working - no PTT?

 

Hello everyone. I've been trying to get my HF VARA port for forwarding working on BPQ32. My VARA install on on a remote Windows PC. I have? WinmorControl??working running with the command?WinmorControl COM1:4800 which starts VARA when I start BPQ32.

My forwarding script has the 'ATTACH 6' for port and then the connect line to connect to my forwarding partner. When I attempt to initiate?a forward, BPQ shows that the session is attempting but my HF rig never keys. I've played with several PTT parameters...too many to remember what I did.?

Below is my script. Does anyone have any suggestions on why my PTT isn't working?

Thanks,
Brian, KA3VSP

Re: LinBPQ configuration backup files

 

You don't say what platform you are running it on - I use a Raspberry
pi and take a back -up every couple of months. I have only had to use
the back-up once and the complete back-up on the card worked just as the
original.
