I can connect to some BBS with Pactor, but I have a new neighbor that it is not
playing well with. The strange thing is that I can connect just fine
to him with Winl2K. I have set the FSK and PSK levels to match what I
have figured out in WL2k, but still no joy. I get one
green decode light, then it is all red from there out. He is plenty
strong here, and that is why WL2k connects right away. I can connect
with the same settings using my TS-590s, but not my FT-710. With WL2k
this radio works fine to connect to him. Any more parameters that I
should be aware of?

Here is my port config:

PORT
ID=Pactor Link
COMPORT=7; COM Port Address
SPEED=57600; COM Port Speed
DRIVER=SCSPactor
INTERLOCK=1; ; Optional - set if you have two portssharing
the same radio.
; Set the same Interlock value on both ports.

CONFIG ; Driver-Specific Configuration

APPL RMS ; Autoconnect to BPQ32 RMS Application

; RIGCONTROL
; COM2 19200 ICOM IC700 70
; 4,14.103,USB,F1,P123
; 4,14.112,USB,F1,P123
; ****

PSKA 90 ; PSK TX Output level.
FSKA 90 ; TX Level for FSK modes.

# If you wish to use any packet ports, you will need to set suitable
ax.25 param, for example:

PACKETCHANNELS 10 ; Enable Packet Ports

PAC TXD 1:250
PAC TXD 2:200

# if you are using a Dragon, uncomment the following

ENDPORT

Maybe a better question to ask is what is all the possible tweakable
parameters on the BPQ side. I think I found two that are not talked
about here:



I added TXD 6 (X*5 this makes a 30ms delay)
and CSD 10 (this is X*5 makes for 50ms)

These changes seem to be persistent and carry into the Alpha software
when I shut down BPQ and use SCS's Alpha software.

It has to be a turnover/timing problem. If I switch radios it works
fine, but I am not wearing out the relays of my nice TS-590S. I have
my FT-710 as my sacrificial lamb. The crazy thing is the same station
works fine with the FT-710 using the winlink client. So either WLE is
changing a radio parameter or a TNC parameter that BPQ32 is not. I
have changed the settings that I do know about to make them match PSK
and FSK levels. And by experimentation I found that BPQ32 can control
the TXD and CSD. You might try messing with those. They are not
documented on John's website (as far as I have found). Just know that
the actual setting is multiplied by 5. So 6x5=30ms for TXD and
10x5=50ms for CSD. That is what is set in WLE express. However, it
did not seem to make any difference though I know they were changed
from a default in BPQ32 as verified with SCS's Alpha program. I am
just wondering what other "invisible" settings are in WLE and do they
exist in BPQ32.

Chris, I have similar problems to yours, but I’ll add that incoming connects from the same station works great, but out going shows the same actions as you see, first packet green, all others red.
please post solution if you find one.

I still get the one green light then solid green until it times out.
I am pretty solid that this is some kind of timing issue, but not sure
how to remedy it. I have no clue why it would work with the WLE
client, but not BPQ32. There has to be some undocumented settings in
either WLE or BPQ32 that are not matching. This could be a radio
setting or a TNC setting, but I have no clue what either sends to the
TNC and/or the radio as initiation parameters. I have the same issue
with the Alpha terminal software. Only WLE works, but only WLE
controls other parameters based on the radio model too. BPQ is
controlling my radio but not adjusting anything other than the
frequency.

PSKA an FSKA level can not be the same, PSKA levels will be 30 higher than FSKA settings.

Google pactor level settings , there is a whole article on it.

My BBS runs PSKA at 225 and FSKA at 190

Default is usually around 140 PSKA
