Re: BPQ32, IC7610, SCS MODEM, VARAHF

 

John
My SCS modem is connected to ACC USB D!
and to use the sound card in the radio it has to be USB D2 don't know if this?
will help.
Thank you for all your hard work

The code does not have support for the IC7610. With the IC7600 the
rig is left in Data 1 when using sound card modes, but the input
source is switched from ACC to USB when transmitting. Would the same
approach be ok for the 7610 as well?

I just checked my forward settings to K5DAT as well, and they were still set at non-binary.

I'm still searching thru my 210214_BBS.txt and find no instance of any BBS remotely changing
my SID features, but afterwards from GB7YEW, WA6RZW, and VE3BWM, my BBS was responding
with, for example:

210214 00:00:51 |GB7YEW? ? Incoming Connect from GB7YEW
210214 00:00:51 >GB7YEW? ? [BPQ-6.0.21.24-B2FWIHJM$]
210214 00:00:51 >GB7YEW? ? Hello GB7YEW.? 0 unread message(s).
?
210214 00:00:51 >GB7YEW? ? >

...after I had changed my BBS back to non-Binary only in GB7YEW's BBS
profile again this morning.

Many other commands also 'not recognised - Ignored.':
PSKA 400
FSKA 400

Now I have changed the position of the 'not recognised' commands before APPL RMS. This eliminates the 'not recognised' reports. Will test tomorrow if the scanning now stops again correctly.

Re: About some linbpq failures

 

Update - after I sent that last email I looked through forwarding settings and found that KE0GB, N9PMO, N3MLB and KD5LPB were also set to B2 for binary.? I changed them all to B1 except Rick's which I changed to remove all binary.? After checking less than an hour later, the settings for KE0GB and KD5LPB were already back to B2.? VE3CGR was also back to B2.? I copied another BBS log file after finding those settings changed, which is attached.

That should work. Where did you put it? - it should be in the Dragon port config after the CONFIG statement.

Re: About some linbpq failures

 

I have seen this as well - but so far with only one forwarding partner. He changed his side to B1 yesterday, and I changed mine back yet again to B1 at around the same time. However this morning I found mine back on B2. I was on the .13 beta. Just upgraded to .24 a?few minutes ago.?

Several days passed on addressing the above linbpq failure,
but no way to address it :(

Obviously, they don't know about the reflector, so I thought I would
pass this on to you, John.

I have all of my partner BBSes are set to forward here without any binary com-
pression, but I noticed that some who do use either B1 or B2 compression is
somehow forcing my BBS to change to their compression instead of staying
at the default non-binary that I had chosen, even when my SID shows no?
compression feature:??[BPQ-6.0.21.24-IHJM$]

Is this something new or perhaps a bug in the code?

One further comment.? The Statement:? "Several days passed...addressed it :( "
...was meant to be included as part of the original commented text, and not from me.

My comments start with:? Obviously, they don't know...

Also, to view the complete bulletin, the BID is:? ?Bid: 3330_I0OJJ

Just wanted to clarify those a bit.

(after shutting down BPQ)
From the directory where your pilinbpq executable is located:

mv pilinbpq pilinbpq.bak
wget
chmod +x pilinbpq

Then restart BPQ.

If you normally rename the pilinbpq file to "linbpq" before running it, then the commands are a little different.

mv linbpq linbpq.bak
wget
mv pilinbpq linbpq
chmod +x linbpq

Then restart.

The only way is to set Max Message Number (in Housekeeping) to a bit above the number of messages on the BBS and then run housekeeping. Remember to set it back to normal afterwards!
