Re: binding a usb serial device
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJohnthe current GUI doesn't allow any entries ?When you click on it all that is available is the list of devices. There is no ability to overtype into that box I guess the best I can do is harcode it in the ini file and lock the file for read only ?? Let me know if there is a workaround? Thanks

Re: binding a usb serial device
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYou can just type your symlink name into the PTT Port box.The name will be saved and added to the list each time you use the Devices dialog. 73, John On 21/03/2025 18:20, Robert Cartier via

Depending on which radio is connected I have a shell script that is basically either: rigctld -vv -m 3070 -s 19200 -r /dev/ttyUSB71A -T 10.78.196.98 F 7101300 M PKTUSB 3000 -or- rigctld -vv -m 3073 -s 19200 -r /dev/ttyUSB73 -T 10.78.196.98 -t 4532 F 7101000 M 'PKTUSB' 3600 I hope this helps, Chuck |

Re: binding a usb serial device
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýWhat I found is I am able to use Direwolf since I can edit the configuration file too reflect the symbolic link and it worksWish there was an easy way in QtSoundmodem to accomplish the same thing without jumping thru hoops Thanks On Mar 21, 2025, at 3:33?PM, rob.cartier@... wrote:

Re: binding a usb serial device
Hi Rob, The GUI configuration won't detect the symlinks, as you discovered.? If you set everything else up and close the application you can edit the .ini file directly and add the symlink in there and it will use it.? The down side of this approach is if you open the GUI configuration again it will overwrite it and it'll need to be edited by hand again. Another option is to use rigctld (hamlib) and let that handle the PTT.? If you are using a radio that doesn't support CAT, you can use the "dummy" rig type and specify a PTT device pointed to your serial port.? Then Hamlib will handle PTT only and ignore any other commands. 73, Ben - KU0HN

binding a usb serial device
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOk I have a question and I have tried creating ?a?/etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-serial.rulesand while I do see my symbol link I am unable to select it in the QtSoundmodem app. What do I need to do to get ttyUSB0 defined so that if it is moved the system still assigns it and the port config will work Thanks Rob |

Re: ARDOPCF and QtSoundModem?
Sorry, I misread you previous message. The develop version also works here on a Pi without the -A parameter

I was able to share a single Signalink with QtSoundmodem 0.0.0.73 configured with fx25 and il2p ports, ardopcf?1.0.4.1.3_develop, and VARA HF 4.8.7 via wine without issue. Only been testing for a few hours but so far so good. 73 de Rich WA3WLH |

Re: How to install QtTerm on Ubuntu 24.04
I tried it without compiling (in Ubuntu 24.04). I downloaded the 64 bit version from the beta area. wget chmod +x QtTermTCP64
I had to install the 3 packages below, which installed other dependencies. sudo apt install libqt5widgets5t64 sudo apt install libqt5multimedia5 sudo apt install libqt5serialport5 Then ./QtTermTCP64 started the program fine. 73, Lee K5DAT On Tue, Mar 18, 2025 at 6:27?AM Kevin via <kevin.g7uxw=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: I do not understand the function of this hierarchical address
The new code should have removed any records with more than 6 chars when loaded and prevent any more being added.

The code should handle up to 20 address elements but as the AT field is limited to 40 chars the practical limit is rather less. 73, John On 16/03/2025 11:24, Chuck Gelm wrote:

A few minutes ago, I upgraded to Version 6.0.24.67 March 13, 2025 from 6.0.?.? (around October 2024). I had put "HAMGATE" in my BADWORDS.SYS file hoping to trap those hierarchical addresses > 6 characters while still allowing the 6 character "HAMGAT". 73, Chuck |

Re: Force forward issue
When a node gets as large as yours it might start to hit limits of things like MAXCIRCUITS, MAXLINKS or something else.? Consider those and other settings for your size node.
?
But, I use that feature all the time with ~45 AXIP connections and it has always worked, even when no messages were queued.

Re: BPQ beacon with FEC pactor.
#bbs
#bpqconfig
You could open the PORTS page in the BPQ html pages. There is a Beacons button.? I have never used it... I don't know how well it would work on Pactor, if at all.
?
If you use a rigcontrol line in your config file then your frequencies will appear on the Modem Modes page of the BPQ Node Map at

Re: I do not understand the function of this hierarchical address
I am pretty sure you are fully knowledgeable of the @ portion of the address.? I think you are questioning HAMGATEME.
?
There are a group of hams that are RF only operating in a closed network.? They all use the alias HAMGATE and then append the state abbreviation.? This one would be for Maine.? HAMGATEME.? I have also seen:
?
HAMGATENJ
HAMGATECT
HAMGATEMA
HAMGAT
?
The way it happens to get into the WP is that someone sends a BBS message to or from one of these 'calls' and the message? gets routed to a node that is connected to the network AND a BPQ node and either the message gets out of the closed network, or that station sends a WP Update message to a station outsde of the closed network.? Bingo, into the WP of everyone.
?
BPQ should limit 'calls' to 6 characters, or validate the call for a proper amateur radio call sign.? I think I remember John saying BPQ limits the call to 6 characters....
?
Once in a greate while I will puruse the WP on my system and try and delete anything with alpha characters only.? I see a lot of different things.? DSA, JOHN, ME, LOCAL, IMPORT, and many others over the years.? They don't hurt anything, just take up space.? It's too bad one cannot delete a WP entry and that deletion propogates to others.
