Re: 6pack in bpq ?
This can be done with bpqkiss also.. works great,did run 3 tiny-2 this way on one com port. Op 17 jul. 2024 04:33 schreef "Chris K1MAL via groups.io" <radiochris@...>:

Re: 6pack in bpq ?
I uploaded the linux source code for the driver, and (the translated) web pages from the old German flexnet site in case anyone wants to take it on.?
I found it in archive.org's wayback machine. I also included the 6pack eprom in the zip file.

/g/bpq32/files/6pack_info.zip

I think the coolest thing about 6pack is the way you can daisy chain TNC's via just their RS232's TX and RX's together in series like a token ring network. Doing this lets lets you run multiple TNC's on one rs232 PC port.?

Re: RMS with ARDOP
I found the problem. Wrong ARDOP_WIN version. I used in BPQ32 the 0.9.0.0 version from ARDOP CHAT. Changing for the 1.0.2.6 version that comes with Winlink Express works fine.? :-))) Thanks for the help, John and Mark. My Best regards. ?:-) Em ter., 16 de jul. de 2024 ¨¤s 05:28, John G8BPQ via <john.wiseman=[email protected]> escreveu: I loaded your config here and it works ok. |
Re: RMS with ARDOP
I also don't understand what happens. It should work. Perhaps it is in configuration of the ARDOP TNC used in the BPQ32. This is my ARDOP setup and BPQ Windows.

Re: RMS with ARDOP
Ok, using that config ARDOP should answer on any call-ssid defined in the application lines.
I assume you have an application called RMS or similar? I assume you have INTERLOCK=1 also in your VARA port config? Are you able to attach to the port and control your radio CAT, Xmit, and Rx? Now, you should probably post your Rigcontrol or Radio configuration parameters. If it is inside your Vara port maybe show that port configuration as well. (Others are going to be able to provide better assistance. I no longer run Ardop on my node.) Mark |

Re: RMS with ARDOP
Hello Mark. I created an ARDOP port, but I can't access the Node/BBS or RMS through it. I did local tests with ARDOP Chat and the modems connect but I can't browse the Node or BBS, the BPQ doesn't respond to commands. On the VARA port, access to the Node, BBS and RMS works very well with VARA Term or Winlink Express. I wonder if I wouldn't need some special configuration on the ARDOP port. Em seg., 15 de jul. de 2024 ¨¤s 08:02, Mark Taylor via <mtaylor=[email protected]> escreveu: Yes, simply create an ardop port. If it shares a radio with the Vara HF port you will need to Interlock them with the same number. Make sure the port responds to any incoming winlink connections and it is directed to the RMS application, just like the Vara port does. Include a WL2KREPORT line once it is working. |
Re: BPQ32.CFG Help required.
Not a reason for affecting your connections, but, there is normally no reason to be listening on two different UDP ports. What is your reason for that?
Also, there is BTINTERVAL defined twice. Doesn't hurt anything but only defining it once, with a 15 minuted interval makes it clearer. And, IDINTERVAL needs a value. |
