WinRPR Oddities


 

1) The WINRPR driver works, but QtTermTCP shows the same (Rx) color in the monitor for both transmit and receive. I don't see that on any other ports. It's a minor but strange thing. Despite not showing the right color for transmit, the radio does get keyed, and transmit works.

2) When advised to try the KISSHF driver, I did, and the correct color is displayed in QtTermTCP for transmit, but the radio is not keyed.

My current port is as follows. When I change to use the KISSHF driver, the line DRIVER=WINRPR is replaced with DRIVER=KISSHF, and the KISS related parameters are un-commented.

PTT is handled via CAT commands. BPQRemotePTT and com0com are running on a Win10 desktop with WinRPR. LinBPQ communicates with WinRPR over the network.

PORT
?PORTNUM=8
?INTERLOCK=1
?ID=WinRPR, INFO for details
?DRIVER=WINRPR
; QUALITY=0
; FRACK=6000
; RESPTIME=6000
; RETRIES=12
; MAXFRAME=1
; PACLEN=60
; TXDELAY=300
; SLOTTIME=100
; PERSIST=128
?CONFIG
? ADDR 192.168.200.6 8001 PTT CAT
? FORCE ROBUST ? ? ? ? ? ?; RP Only
? USEAPPLCALLS ? ? ? ? ? ?; Accept connects to all APPLCALLS
? Z 0 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?; No Flow Control
? Y 1 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?; One Channel
? E 1 ? ? ? ? ? ? ?; Echo - Restart process needs echo
? BEACONAFTERSESSION
ENDPORT

The pertinent rig control statements are as follows:

?RADIO 1
?Remote YAESU FTDX10 HAMLIB=4532

LinBPQ sends CAT commands to WinMorControl on the Win10 desktop including the command(s) for PTT. That works not only with WinRPR & the WINRPR driver, but also with QtSoundModem and VARA.

WinRPR uses WA8DED Host Mode, and with that the monitor does not differentiate between TX and RX frames.

When you tried KISSHF did you enable KISS mode in the WinRPR config?

Thank-you for pointing me back to enabling KISS in WinRPR. When I enabled it previously, I misread the message in the attachment and thought I had actually disabled it. I guess it means that the non-KISS input is disabled.

Thanks also for the explanation of the monitor with WA8DED Host Mode.
