Reporting HF capable node on the BPQ map


 

Hi?
?
my settings in the config file report my node to the bpq map just fine, but i am wondering what i need to do to the config to get it to report that it has an hf port too?

Probably all it will require is a FREQUENCY line.? Most likely you have anything else you need already.

I think you need the UPDATEMAP in the port config. Tho it may not work for some ports types. I dont have a frequency line here, but have the RADIO section configured for rigcontrol.

PORT
 ID=UZ7HO KX3 NET105
 PORTNUM=6
 DRIVER=UZ7HO
 FRACK=7000
 RESPTIME=7000
 CHANNEL=A
 INTERLOCK=1
 RADIO=1
 PACLEN=80
 RETRIES=15
 CONFIG
  ADDR 192.168.1.2 8000 PTT CAT
  MAXSESSIONS=5
  UPDATEMAP
  BEACONAFTERSESSION
ENDPORT
RADIO 1
    FLRIG 192.168.1.2:12345 HAMLIB=4532
    7,7.1025,DATA,1500,R1,R2,VN

I have ";FREQUENCY..." 3 times in my bpq32.cfg file.
Obviously I have had issue this NAME|VALUE pair.
Is this an information line or does it attempt to control a radio?
I assume that the center frequency would be used.
Where may I find more information?

"FREQUENCY" does not exist in

I don’t see Frequency and Updatemap in the documentation but i am pretty new to bpq so i may not be looking in the right place….

I will put an “UPDATEMAP” in my config and see what happens.

Thanks
Bob

Aye, It is not explicitly put in the various modem drivers. I have found it by some trial and error. But it IS listed in the uz7ho driver:

It works on some others I think like WinRPR, ARDOP, and KISSHF (undocumented). If you look at n9seo-3 on the map, you will see mine. Tho I guess RPR is not reporting now. It was when I looked some months ago.

Ok NO KISSHF does not report, which explains why my WinRPR is not showing.


 

I tried adding info to the MAPCOMMENT parameter and adding the UPDATEMAP parameter, with no change to the map listing….. would help to know what the map keys on to make the decision if the node is HF capable……

Are you talking about the maps at and vps1.g8bpq.net? If so, you don't configure anything. Your call will be red and will appear on the Heard map if you hear packets on a UZ7HO, ARDOP, VARA, PACTOR, SCS Tracker or WinRPR port. The code considers these to be HF ports, regardless of the actual frequency. KISS ports are assumed to be VHF ports.

No i am looking on?

Ok that is good information, pretty steep learning curve beyond basic node activation.

Thanks again John

Sorry, that's the same map. nodemap.g8bpq.net is an alias for guardian.no-ip.org
