Good Afternoon, I am working on setting up BPQ32 on Ubuntu for the first time. I am wondering what is the normal frequency that systems are setup on in the HF frequencies. I saw someplace people are using 14.050 but not sure if that is a standard?

?

Thanks and 73,

Hello

I am trying to send from the BPQ APRS multiple objects (all the BBS on our Network) but it looks like is not being Igate or have a wrong structure on the the format.

I have tried different format do see it being transmitted when I add the WIDE1-1 option but still it doesn't appear on the? APRS map:

OBJECT PATH=APRS,WIDE1-1 PORT=4,IS INTERVAL=15 TEXT=;DOG17 *111111z1829.84N/06701.85WB145.090MHz KP3FT-10 DOG17 NODE/BBS Isabela Puerto Rico

OBJECT PATH=APRS,WIDE1-1 PORT=4,IS INTERVAL=15 TEXT=DOG17:!1829.84N/06701.85WB145.090MHz KP3FT-10 DOG17 NODE/BBS Isabela Puerto Rico

I have also included my full APRS config, your help would be appreciated.

Gracias 73,

Heber

Installing requires a RPI4 and for now a rig that works with VOX PTT/Signalink. Once VARA is up and working with the Winelink installer, going through the steps to configure Wine and ALSA using the .asoundrc file and Wine registry settings, adding a port to BPQ to connect and use the VARA modem is reasonably trivial.

Winelink will work with radios other than those that need VOX PTT/Signalink. I currently have both VARA HF & VARA FM working with the Yaesu 857 & Icom 705 using CAT PTT with Pat Winlink.

Hi All,

I have Suppress Mailing of Housekeeping Results checked, but I noticed that the system is still sending out Housekeeping Reports to one of my forwarding partners.

I am running pilinbpq 6.0.22.67

Any ideas?

Aha, thanks, much better, succinct, explanation.

I looked it up and got way too much information (TMI) to weed thru.

Simple (Windows) Powershell Script to Update?BPQ32

This very VERY basic script was created for a friend to update their Windows 10 install of BPQ32 to the latest beta releases. As beta releases by John G8BPQ don’t have any identifying characteristics other than file server time stamp, the update process is as simple as downloading the latest binaries and zipped DLL from the same locations periodically.

To get this script to work on your system you will be required to enable Powershell scripts in the system settings. Follow the below menu path to locate the section containing the security override.?

Start Menu -> PC Settings -> Updates & Security -> Developer Options -> Scroll down to Powershell section.

Check the box next to ”Change execution policy to allow local Powershell scripts to run” and click Apply.

To create the script, find and run from the start menu:

powershell_ise

Clear-Host
# Edit paths below to suit your system
# Please note that the Upgrade folder is emptied on each script run.
$BpqUpgradeFolder = "D:\BPQ32\UPGRADE"
$BpqMainFolder = "D:\BPQ32"

Write-Host "Updating BPQ DLL and EXE files, please make sure BPQ is shut down first..."
pause
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$BpqUpgradeFolder"
Get-ChildItem -Path $BpqUpgradeFolder -File -Recurse | Remove-Item

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/bpq32.zip" -OutFile "$BpqUpgradeFolder\bpq32.zip"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/BPQChat.exe" -OutFile "$BpqUpgradeFolder\BPQChat.exe"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Downloads/Beta/BPQMail.exe" -OutFile "$BpqUpgradeFolder\BPQMail.exe"


Expand-Archive -Path "$BpqUpgradeFolder\bpq32.zip" -DestinationPath "$BpqUpgradeFolder" -Force


ForEach($file in Get-Childitem $BpqUpgradeFolder -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue `
| Where-Object {$_.Extension -Match "dll" -or $_.Extension -Match "pdb" -or $_.Extension -Match "exe"} )
{
Write-Host "Copying file: $file"
Copy-Item -Path $file.fullname -Destination $BpqMainFolder -force
}

Write-Host "Update Complete"
pause

Copy the contents of the script into the upper part of the PowerShell editor,?

Then edit the following lines to match your system:

$BpqUpgradeFolder = "D:\BPQ32\UPGRADE"
$BpqMainFolder = "D:\BPQ32"

The ”BpqUpgradeFolder” folder mentioned above is a temporary directory created each time the script is run where the zip file and executables are then downloaded to, the entire directory is erased each time the script is executed, so be sure not to set this incorrectly as you may lose files.

After setting the paths appropriately, use the?File?menu to save the script into an appropriate location.

Before testing, shut down your BPQ32 application, test the script by using the green Play button in the PowerShell editor. It is necessary to shut down BPQ before running the script from wherever you saved it to.
