direwolf, signalink, and bpq32 on linux
开云体育Hi All! ? I am lost in the configuration rabbit hole, and I feel the Mad Hatter sneaking up on me (I hope someone gets the reference). ? Does anyone have a configuration file for Direwolf and bpq32 that will work with the signalink? ? Thanks! -Chris ? |
开云体育Yes. ? card 2: SIGNALINK [USB AUDIO? CODEC], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] ? Subdevices: 0/1 ? Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 ? ? From:
"[email protected]" <[email protected]> on behalf of Joshua KJ7LVZ <joshuajayg@...> ? I don't use a signalink? but it is just a USB soundcard as far as I can tell. Do you know how to identify your soundcard device number in Linux?? I use "aplay-l" and "arecord -l" |

I could dump a whole config file on you but with direwolf there are only a few things that matter.??
Identify your soundcard (card 2, device 0)
Only one audio channel
Everything below this will be configuration for this channel
Obviously put your call in
I'm running HF on direwolf so this is my config.? You should just enter "MODEM 1200" if that's what you want.
This is how you connect BPQ to direwolf
I hope this all helps.? I can share more of my config privately but I'm not going to post the whole thing here.? Depending on how you installed these to programs, they may use a config file location you aren't aware of.? I download "locate" and use that to find any hiding config file locations.??
I'm not running APRS so I have this here.? If you are using APRS, leave it commented out.
I left everything else below that alone.
For bpq32.cfg, here's my port configuration.? There's more in my config file, but this is specifically my direwolf port.? Some of the settings like paclen, frack, slottime, and persist are specific to my HF setup.? If you are using VHF, the numbers don't have to be as "conservative".? Google what normal numbers are and use those.? "PORTNUM" has to be a unique number in your config.? The "ID" is what shows up when someone queries your port.? "IPADDR" and "TCPPORT"? is how bpq finds direwolf.? 127.0.0.1 is your local computer aka localhost.? TCPPORT was defined in the Direwolf config.? "DIGIFLAG=1"? means I want this port to allow digipeating.? If you don't, don't add that in.

开云体育Thank you! Appreciate and will see if I can get this working over the weekend. ? From:

开云体育Hi Joshua, ? One more question if you have time. ? What frequency do you normally run on HF? I see two in your ID line: 14.105/7.104 ? Which one do you normally find the most activity on? I am in FL and propagation is not all that great on a good day, I think the heat kills me. ? Thanks, -Chris ? From:

开云体育Thanks Chris! ? I may be confused (take it easy on packet nebie here), but I read someplace in that groups rules that packet BBS’s are not supposed to be on that net? Or is it just BBS to BBS communications that are not supposed to be on that band?

Lots of us swap our nodes between those two frequencies. BBS is fine on those frequencies, that's most of what you will see. NODES broadcasts are not welcome,? APRS and forwarding are generally frowned upon.? The dial frequencies are 14.105 LSB and 7.104 LSB. If you use a filter (I use 350Hz), you need to shift your bandpass filter up to center on 1700Hz tones (down in RF.) For mt 991A, I just dial in +200 shift.? When you start Direwolf,? it's good to enable forward error correction. In the terminal you can type "direwolf -X 1". |
