Incomplete/incorrect gateway configuration (N0CALL)..


 

I'm getting the above error when attempting to test my node. I've recently tried a fresh cfg from the config generator after days of tinkering with my old cfg. Setup is a pi4 with a DRAWS board to an FT8800R. Below is my cfg. Please let me know what looks wrong or is missing. Thanks.

You are using TCPPORT 8100 for channel B and 8001 for channel A.? Is that an error?? Usually it would be the same TCPPORT to a single device and the Channel separates the data to each port.

Today the error is showing when I have listen -at running. Usually its in the terminal of whatever client program I'm using. Below is the output of listen -at and the output of? easyterm
I did adjust the tcp ports to match but port #4 isn't the issue right now. Good catch though.
I sent an email to double check I'm still a sysop, that may be the majority of the issue.

If I connect to K4SPB-1, client and server send packets back and forth every three to five seconds then disconnect less than a minute after connection. It does this with all of the ssids.

What is your client?
?
Looking at the BPQ Node map it appears that you have your NODECALL set to both K4SPB and K4SPB-7 at one time. But I see you are offline at the moment.
Your config does not assign K4SPB to any application in the config so do you have an external client making that connection?
Just rememember that any call used in the node cannot be used on RF on the same frequency or you will experience the same behavior.
?
So when you restart be sure K4SPB is not used in the node anywhere so that it can be used by an outside client program.
