Let me know if you cannot find it as well as which version.. I recommend ThjeNET 2,08b I believe is what I always use.. Ill dig out that version and have it on hand.. May have to fire up my old WiNXP Machine. That is what I use it for with my eprom burner¡. ? I did fine Thenet? x1j4 I have never used it. I think it needs 27c512 Chip and a slight mod where u lift one leg of the Eprom and run a wire to a location on board near by. It supports IP over Radio if you are on NET44.. ? There are 2.11 and 2.12 version of TheNET node that are not as bug free as 2.08b ? The non x1j4 use a 27c256 Eprom.. ? 73 jerry ?

Hi All
Done something stupid and now cannot start PiLinBPQ, keep getting error code 2. Reading it a little more carefully I see that BPQ is in directory "home/gb7sou/Ham/pilinbpq" but BPQ is looking for "bpq32.cfg" in "home/gb7sou". Dont know how it happened as it use to work but how do I get it to see it with the rest of the files. I have temporory got over the problem by copying the file over to "home/gb7sou"

It depends on what you are asking for. Do you want to set up a TNC to run a node? If THIS is what you want, you need to know that "NETROM" was software loaded into a ROM that could be plugged into a TNC2. ?If you just want a stand-alone (e.g. tnc + radio) netrom node, then the only way it to find an old TNC2 with a NETROM node installed.
?
BUT, if what you want is a node that connects, properly, with existing NETROM nodes, then BPQ will do that. The common vehicle for an isolated node these days is an RPi running the RPi version of BPQ configured to function only as a node. You might logically add CHAT to that mix but you need no bbs or anything else. You COULD add APRS if there is activity on that network frequency. Yes, BPQ is capable of many other things that COULD be used but which would not be. So, yes, BPQ is maybe "overkill", but so what? It works perfectly in that role. That extra capability does not cost anybody anything.

The original NETROM was an eprom for the TNC2 that was sold by Software 2000 ( if I remember correctly). As far as I know it is no longer available.
TheNet was an (allegedly illegal) copy. Not sure if it is still supported.

NetRom is a routing protocol that is part of all the different bbs software packages.

Re: Updating position in config
That makes sense. I¡¯ll keep checking. It probably isn¡¯t setup for frequent refreshing/syncing considering these server stations are typically not moving around.
Thanks, LCM

Re: Updating position in config
Thanks, Mark. I found the old grid square in the WL2KREPORT section of the bpq32.cfg file. I changed it to our new gridsqare but the node is still showing up with updated time stamps on ?with the old position. It is correct on , however. Could it be set somewhere else too?

You don't need to do anything for APRS.? It will pick it up from other sources.

Updating position in config
We are moving our club BPQ packet station to a new site. I tried updating the LOCATOR to the new grid square and I changed the BTEXT to the new lat/long but I can't seem to get the location to update on aprs.fi (via winlink). Any suggestions? Where does winlink get the position report?
