Re: Trying to get VARA working - no PTT?

 

Sorry, forgot to mention. I am using a Signalink USB between remote PC and HF rig.

Best,
Brian, KA3VSp
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



?Port 6 ?
PORT
PORTNUM=6
ID=HF VARA Backbone
DRIVER=VARA
CONFIG
ADDR 192.168.1.226 8300 PATH REMOTE:C:\VARA\VARA.exe
BW500
RIGCONTROL REMOTE YAESU FT2000
ENDPORT
Re: Reducing syslog output

 

That's sad, but also a timesaver, thanks Matthew.

John, really looking to you on this one then please :-)

Thanks

You might be out of luck there, a?precursory glance suggests that Debian is using journald and the maintainers aren't interested in providing a mechanism to filter logs before they're written to the journal -?

I could be wrong though

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.

Application Line Format

 

Is there a way to add an application line that will let you connect to a node and then issue a command once connected?

Exsample? ? C MELNOD (then add cmd TALK)

Matt, John- I opened these files and cut the static out and then played them over the radio and managed to decode only the FX25 packets, the standard AX25 do not decode at all so same findings as Matthew, so something may be up with the preamble/TXDelay issue we encountered when you initially implemented IL2P.?
