Re: LINBPQ Fails to start with message: Active: failed (Result: start-limit-hit)

Disable the service and run linbpq manually. Then you will see any error messages.

Ok, Thanks.

Re: TCPIP over AX.25

 

And so a pair of NPR modems (with TRX built in!!) on UHf should work.


I built mine from the gitHub repo and saved a little $$$. They do 56K up to 500Kbps depending upon how they are configured.?

Or a pair of NPR modems at ~500kbps assuming you're NOT in the USA where we are crippled at just 56k.

Subject: [bpq32] WL2KREPORT not working

Hi all,

I am trying to report to WINLINK my BPQ RMS using the following line near the end of my BPQ32.cfg file:

WL2KREPORT PUBLIC, api.winlink.org, 80, SV1UY-10, KM17VW, 09-23, 144950000, PKT1200, 15, 45, 0, 0

but when I start my BPQ32 NODE I see a message that the line which contains my WL2KREPORT is not being recognised and it is ignored.

Other than this, my BPQ32 NODE works fine and if someone issues the RMS command from my NODE or even if he/she uses WINLINK Express PACKET or WOAD calling SV1UY-10 on VHF or on my UHF port, he/she can send/receive WINLINK MAIL fine!


Please see attached file.

Any ideas?

Re: WL2KREPORT not working

 

Whereabouts in the file is it? It needs to go in a port config.

If that's not the problem send me your config and I'll have a look.
