Kenwood TS-480 BPQ32 and VARA HF configuration help
I have a Kenwood TS-480.? I purchased the CAT control cable and the PC see it as COM3.? I am using a USB dongle CM108 for the sound, I do received sound fine.
This is my config pretty sure is missing key elements to make VARA HF transmit.? The Win10 PC has the last version of Hamlib installed.? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Heber

Re: Digipeater Setup Question
Gary,
You can also run a digi from BPQ by adding these two lines to your radio port. The digi uses the same SSID as the node.
?DIGIFLAG=1
?DIGIPORT=0
The details are about halfway down this page
I asked around a few months ago about running the digi on LinBPQ or Direwolf and did not get any difinitive answer. I decided to run both. The node doesn't get a lot of traffic so I can't say which is better.

Re: Digipeater Setup Question
Open your UZ7HO (soundmodem config) then go to the (MyDigiCall=) put your callsign with SSID.

The digipeater would be on the same frequency as I have the node, just a different suffix ID such as -5. I am using the UZ7HO sound modem on a Windows 10 machine. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you I do not need the messages just my config and forwarding config
Thanks de Mike N8FWD

linux and Windows diffeer...
Windows, there is a bpqmail.cfg and chatconfig.cfg files that contains the configuration.
I never bother with the messages, but if you really want to keep them someone will tell you the file/folders you need.
Can't help with linux.

Hello,
I am going to move my BBS to a new Computer. I reinstalled the BPQ program
then copied my old bpqcfg file to the new computer. The node works fine. My
question is a multi part question.
What files do I need to transfer for:
1) Chat
2) BBS
Thanks de Mike N8FWD

Re: Query: Confirming Proper SB format.
You can't use just a country or continent code and expect it route on the AT list, as they are expanded to a full HA (eg EURO > EURO.WW, GBR > GBR.EU.WW) so will only route on HA fields. So if want to define your own flood areas (eg ALL@LOCAL) you need to make sure the area isn't a valid country or continent.
But of course where the messages actually get sent depends on how sysops have set up their forwarding.

The flood area can be any 6-character word, but the trick
is in having the forwarding partners pay attention to it.
Just because it says @eu does not guarantee that it just
goes to the intended target area and nowhere else. It is
a slow education process of the sysops to route things to
their forwarding partners correctly.

Re: Query: Confirming Proper SB format.
Thank you for the reply, John.
And since I haven't said it in a while, "Thank you!" for a great piece of software!
It has brought back a lot of memories from my dial-up BBS days as well as early packet adventures. I am in awe of your knowledge!
I Just found a MicroHAMS Digital Conference Video on you from 2020 and am looking forward to watching it!

Tnx again for the enjoyment you bring to the hobby...

Seeking additional AXIP/AXUDP & BBS partners
I'm looking to expand my horizons in 2024. I'd like to entertain additional AXIP/AXUDP links and
BBS forwarding with stations outside of North America. I have plenty of both in N.A. Ideally,
I'd like to add additional links from Asia/Oceana, South America/Central America, Europe/Africa.
Although I have formidable RF hardware with large tower, rotary antennas, and big wire antennas,
most of the new BBS forwarding should most likely be via AXIP/UDP links.
As a good neighbor, I only forward and accept P and T type messages over RF. Bulletins are done
exclusively via AXIP/AXUDP/telnet in order to do my part to reduce the clutter that has overwhelmed
the US ACDS slots and adjacent frequencies. Most bulletins are considered spam. In the event of a
compelling bulletin, it can very easily be redirected to RF manually by sysops on a case-by-case basis.?
If you are a system operator outside of North America and are interested, please contact me off list.
Thanks for your consideration.
Best regards,
Gary, K7EK?

Node/BBS access compatible modes
Hi folks. I can access the Node/BBS with the VARA Terminal and navigate in the same way as with Packet Easyterm. But I couldn't do the same with ARDOP Chat. Is there any other mode besides PACKET and VARA that allows this type of access to users?

As others have said, a semaphore clash occurs when two threads in
the program try to access a shared resource. The total is of no real
signifcance, but will be higher on a busy system or one of limited
cpu power.
What is important is the Get-Rel count. This is the difference
between calls to get a semaphore and release it. It should always be
1, as the code that generates the stats output runs under a
semaphore. Any other value indicates a software bug.

This is a sign of high load on your system. However with that few I really wouldn't worry. I have 116k for 22hr up. Slow old pi! Doing a lot.
It may only be an issue if precise timing is needed which usually is not the case as you are not interacting with, say, an ISA bus and needing to read registers within uSec
