IDMSG BTMSG

Alan - G0WDA All Messages By This Member #43712 Hi Everyone ? ? Can someone please advise, running linbpq on Ubuntu 24.2 ?? ? What is the max chars used for IDMSG and BTMSG, and is the any chars I must not use ? ? and last, when I update any of these message whey don't they change for the user, even after a restart on BPQ service ? ? Thanks in advance Alan
Alan - G0WDA All Messages By This Member #43720 Interesting,? the main problem here, is you need to reboot your computer which clears memory cache, and allows ID and BT text to be re read. Next step, put a full range of chars in, and see if they all get displayed. ? From Alan
John G8BPQ All Messages By This Member #43723 开云体育 The message must fit in a single packet, so 256. I'm very surprised restarting doesn't change what is sent. Can you send an example of the old data being sent? 73, John On 16/04/2025 14:03, Alan - G0WDA wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Hi Everyone ? ?

Alan - G0WDA All Messages By This Member #43726 Good Morning John, ? Here is the Text? IDMSG: GB7ESC BPQ BBS in Blackpool ?UK * And I? replaced it with this IDMSG: GB7ESC BPQ BBS in Blackpool, UK - C GB7ESC-1 * ? but after systemctl restart gb7esc.service ? It was still the same, but once I did a reboot, it changed over to new information ? So I assumed that it is either held in memory or cached somewhere. ? ? Now BTEXT is never Transmitted. ? ? BTEXT: GB7ESC BPQ Node operating on 144.9375 MHz *** ? IDINTERVAL=10 BTINTERVAL=20 ? Thanks from Alan
John G8BPQ All Messages By This Member #43733 开云体育 Are you sure that systemctl restart gb7esc.service worked and restarted BPQ? BTEXT is sent to the UNPROTO call specified in the PORT config, so if you don't have UNPROTO it won't set sent. 73, John On 17/04/2025 12:00, Alan - G0WDA wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Good Morning John, ?

Alan - G0WDA All Messages By This Member #43735 Hi John, ? ? Thanks for the reply,? ? ? I am never sure of anything,? I can only tell you what I did :) ? ? You say that? ?BTEXT needs to be directed to a port, what is the command please... ? All the best from Alan
John G8BPQ All Messages By This Member #43737 开云体育 You need to add UNPROTO=BEACON (or whatever address you want your beacons to go to) in each PORT that you want to send beacons on. systemctl restart gb7esc.service Are you sure your service is called gb7esc? Do you need sudo? The S command shows node uptime. Make sure it goes back to zero when you try to restart. 73, John On 17/04/2025 16:15, Alan - G0WDA wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Hi John, ? ? Thanks for the reply,? ? ?

Glad you asked that, I went into /etc/systemd/system and it was not there GULP!!! ? ? So I put a new copy in the folder, restarted BPQ it took 3 seconds to start up.. ? ?where is this S command used please ? All the best from Alan

Hello Alan, There are two choices. 1) Connect to your node, and issue S (S is for stats) or 2) Connect to your BBS and issue S. Therefore you will either find it on the first try or the second try. Hint: John said "The S command shows node uptime." 73, Lee K5DAT _._,_._,_
