Aye, It is not explicitly put in the various modem drivers. I have found it by some trial and error. But it IS listed in the uz7ho driver:

It works on some others I think like WinRPR, ARDOP, and KISSHF (undocumented). If you look at n9seo-3 on the map, you will see mine. Tho I guess RPR is not reporting now. It was when I looked some months ago.

I don¡¯t see Frequency and Updatemap in the documentation but i am pretty new to bpq so i may not be looking in the right place¡­.

I will put an ¡°UPDATEMAP¡± in my config and see what happens.

Thanks

I have ";FREQUENCY..." 3 times in my bpq32.cfg file.
Obviously I have had issue this NAME|VALUE pair.
Is this an information line or does it attempt to control a radio?
I assume that the center frequency would be used.
Where may I find more information?

"FREQUENCY" does not exist in

Re: Reporting HF capable node on the BPQ map

 

I think you need the UPDATEMAP in the port config. Tho it may not work for some ports types. I dont have a frequency line here, but have the RADIO section configured for rigcontrol.

 PORTNUM=6

 FRACK=7000
 RESPTIME=7000
 CHANNEL=A
 INTERLOCK=1
 RADIO=1

Re: Help with CTEXT Format and ASCII Codes

 

Could you send me your bpq32.cfg file so I can see exactly what character's you are using??

Thanks, John?

The Config File is written in NANO, the BBS runs in a Terminal, the BBS Output is in Terminal, so everything should be the same I guess.
I must confess, I'm more a Windows guy and know about codepage problems by altering config Files in TXT Format by word ord wordpad instead of Editor.
But here?
And moust of all, what can i do about it?

Upgrade to the Latest DLL issues

 

I installed the latest installer and then installed the latest DLL.
My web interface for the mail (BBS) went away. I reinstalled again
and I am back to normal, but running the 6.0.24.1 version. I think
the DLL puts it up to 24.54 or something like that. Any suggestions?

Pretty sure that refers to pure ASCII vs unicode.

Success: QtSoundModem ptt and GPIO

 

Works fine. I'm not sure that I understand the GPIO terminology or if the GUI needs an update. I was designating the physical pin and it turns out that it is the GPIO Port number (GPIO 25 on pin 22). The other thing I ended up doing was editing the .ini file with Nano to configure the KISS port. That could have just been me being impatient with the GUI. With that out of the way, it worked well with piLinBPQ in place of Direwolf which is what I was after.

John, thanks for the quick response. I'm moving forward.

@Mauro: Good see, but that was my fault. in real World there are 3 Asterisks. BBS is up and running with plane CTEXT without any issues.

ASCII art should work so long as you have the right codeset, but you can't use \nnn to set control characters.

Hi Tom.?It seems to me that you are ending the CTEXT with four asterisks (****) instead of three (***). I have already made ascii art in CTEXT and it worked fine.

Colorcodes are not Working.

I also tried some kind of AscII ART in CTEXT between CTEXT: and ****

Yes, it should. You can select GPIO in the PTT setup. I haven't tried it for a while so would be interested to hear if it still works.
