Just to explain a bit better, John W4JML and I are having a problem
trying to get the
Scheduled Task setup to re-run the APRSWW.EXE in (W7 Only), for users of
BPQ-APRS
Send File for UI-View Compatible WX File and Weather Watcher.

I setup the scheduled task but it does not save the task, I go back to
view the
Task but it is always gone, has anyone had any experience with the
scheduled tasks
In W7 32 bit?

It does work fine on XP

The new .EXE solved the problem with the cmd: but when ever a station
polls
Or connects to the BPQ node, it automatically brings up the Winpack
terminal?

I found the problem, Winpack is on my test machine with BPQ32, bpq32.cfg
on
The test machine is a copy from the packet machine, on the test machine
I
Used N9PMO as the Winpack BBS application call, so stations were
connecting
via AXIP to N9PMO (FBB on the Packet computer) but also were connecting
to
Winpack, when a connection to N9PMO was made, it would open the Winpack
Terminal window automatically, I just added a unused SSID to the Winpack

application call, problem solved.

Another note, I notice that FBB 7.00i Monitor window no-longer monitors
the
FBB beacon sent but does show in BPQ Monitor, when you changed the
TFWIN.DLL
Or its copy bpqded32.dll did you make a change to stop FBB monitor
window from
Monitoring the FBB beacon?

It also looks like it is no-longer monitoring supervisory frames ether?

INITTNC1.sys as follows:
O 4
C MAIL
T 50
U 0
N 10
M IUSC
@255 1 1 < with or without no difference

The last line @255 1 1 mask does not seem to have any affect, in earlier
versions of BPQ32
The last line had to be there for the monitor window to show anything?

Yes Joel, The application call bpq32.cfg is where I added the SSID N9PMO
> N9PMO-3
So one would have to use the BBS command or C N9PMO-3 in the switch

Can anyone help with rig control using a yaseu 857 and scs ptciipro. I am not
using a comport. I have seen it  working with airmail but I am using BPQ.
Robby

Sorry for the delay in response.

At first glance, this seems to be working very well.  At the main prompt in
WinPack, I can type 'c 1 mon7nc' (a node that is RF only), and it connects right
through!

I'll play around with it some more this evening, but it looks to be good.

Robby where you have the SCSPactor port setup you should have a CONFIG line.
Below the CONFIG line I have
RIGCONTROL COM4 9600 KENWOOD TS-570D 4 "your freq."/U  "your freq."/L  and so
on. Add your frequencies in place of "your freq." looks like this 3.500/L
3.600/U  with /U or /L for upper or lower side band. You may have to change the
com-port and speed for your setup.
73, Jim/KA2LFN

Dave

Reset the node settings ea. NODE= to normal settings, in the port or
ports
You don't want nodes to be sent out on set QUALITY=0 this will stop any
Node broadcast on that port, also on RF ports it is a good idea to add
to that
Port NOKEEPALIVES=1 if you decide to start sending nodes the statement
Will stop Netroms from being polled by BPQ32 on that port.

Note if you have an AXIP port setup with a partner your nodes broadcast
needs
To go out, if not connection will fail.

Subject: [BPQ32] 11-06-12 - NODE BROADCASTS

 
I have a requirement where I want the BPQ node to only "Speak when
spoken to." I wish to eliminate all node broadcasts. The node does not
need to communicate with any other node in the network. There are three
applications defined with their unique callsign-SSID. I have made the
following assignments in BPQ configuration:

NODE=0
NODESINTERVAL=0
IDINTERVAL=0
BTINTERVAL=0

The node accepts connections to the defined applications and operates
normally. I note I can also return to node commands by exiting an
application with a "Return To Node" command.

When BPQ startups with the new configuration, it sends a node broadcast
to each of the four defined ports with the "FROM" field blank. The node
then continues to send node broadcasts to two other BBS systems in the
area and also appears to respond to node broadcasts from other nodes.

Is there a way to stop the node from sending and responding to these
node broadcasts.

This is a requirement to reduce channel clutter and to help address a
random interference problem.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

73, Dave.

The above is from aprs.fi

Can bpqaprs be edited to affect the comment and beacon lines?

Not sure if someone has asked this but I am trying to have 2 different
frequencies feed into the BBS.  I am using a KPC 9612.  I have setup the config
with different ports numbers to handle the different freq.  In the mailchat
server it has only 1 spot for BBS app. so I am assumming that there would need
to be some special setup to make it work correctly.  I can use terminal and
access the different radios just fine.  Just trying to figure out if there are
other things I need to tweek to get it to work.

Thanks in advance.

Is you second BBS also BPQ32 node, if so in the port that is making the
connection
To your first BBS add in that port NOKEEPALIVES=1

How do you have the two BBS'S tied to communicate with each other?

I think what you are seeing is a Netrom Poll to make sure there is still
a connection
Between the nodes

Mike,

Thank you. Made the changes and all node broadcasts have disappeared
with the exception of one. This is a significant improvement.

Every two minutes the node sends a broadcast to my second BBS node. I
have not been able to make the changes to the second node yet.

The second node is linked for CHAT. To my knowledge, the second node is
the only other BPQ node to which I can connect. I have tried turning the
NODE on/off and disabling CHAT in MailChat but it does not seem to make
any difference.

There are no broadcasts to or from the ROM-based nodes in the valley.

Is this a BPQ quirk or is there something else I need to set. Do I just
live with it?

73, Dave.

Reset the node settings ea. NODE= to normal settings, in the port or
ports
You don't want nodes to be sent out on set QUALITY=0 this will stop any
Node broadcast on that port, also on RF ports it is a good idea to add
to that
Port NOKEEPALIVES=1 if you decide to start sending nodes the statement
Will stop Netroms from being polled by BPQ32 on that port.

Note if you have an AXIP port setup with a partner your nodes broadcast
needs
To go out, if not connection will fail.

Subject: [BPQ32] 11-06-12 - NODE BROADCASTS

 
I have a requirement where I want the BPQ node to only "Speak when
spoken to." I wish to eliminate all node broadcasts. The node does not
need to communicate with any other node in the network. There are three
applications defined with their unique callsign-SSID. I have made the
following assignments in BPQ configuration:

NODE=0
NODESINTERVAL=0
IDINTERVAL=0
BTINTERVAL=0

The node accepts connections to the defined applications and operates
normally. I note I can also return to node commands by exiting an
application with a "Return To Node" command.

When BPQ startups with the new configuration, it sends a node broadcast
to each of the four defined ports with the "FROM" field blank. The node
then continues to send node broadcasts to two other BBS systems in the
area and also appears to respond to node broadcasts from other nodes.

Is there a way to stop the node from sending and responding to these
node broadcasts.

This is a requirement to reduce channel clutter and to help address a
random interference problem.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

73, Dave.

Dave,

 

The KPC9612 has two radio ports, so can operate on two frequencies at the same time.

 

73, John

Subject: Re: [BPQ32] Multiple Frequencies for BBS

 

I have 3 frequencies feed my BBS.  1 VHF and 2 HF. In my case each HF frequency has it's own radio and Pactor modem thus, it's own port. From what you are saying, you are using one modem, the KPC 9612, so you would need to scan, then you would use one port with additional configuration to control the radio on that port.
The HF ports are set up to direct ALL connects directly to the BBS.

Not sure if someone has asked this but I am trying to have 2 different frequencies feed into the BBS. I am using a KPC 9612. I have setup the config with different ports numbers to handle the different freq. In the mailchat server it has only 1 spot for BBS app. so I am assumming that there would need to be some special setup to make it work correctly. I can use terminal and access the different radios just fine. Just trying to figure out if there are other things I need to tweek to get it to work.

Thanks in advance.

If you are in TX, ND, or NC and would be willing to map with me let me know...
I have a west coast station so need 3 more...

Hi All,

          After testing BPQ32 etc for quite sometime now, I have decided
that running the extra computer just for testing is not really worthwhile.

There for, i will be pulling the plug on the test computer tomorrow.

I will be continuing with the XROUTER Node and the Linux BBS, anyone
with links to the BPQ32 Node or BPQBBS, ZL2BAU-5 or ZL2BAU-4 can
transfer the links over to ZL2BAU-3 XROUTER Node or ZL2BAU Linux BBS.

I will remain on the BPQ32 list and may restart the test machine if
anything new comes up.

Regards ..... Peter

Howdy Gang,

Is anyone here on BPQ a X1J4 Expert as I have a question about the HOST
mode.

We are attempting to hook up a Kantronics KTU with Weather Node Firmware to
a Paccomm Tiny II with X1J4. All settings in the KTU are correct and it is
connected to the Serial DB 25 pin port with the proper cable from the KTU.

We have host on in the Tiny II but it returns Host Table Full when HOST is
called via packet.  We are trying to access the KTU and it will return a
wxn:  so we can display the weather it has stored.

The KTU works just fine hooked to a Kantronics TNC serial port with version
8.2. I can log in and it hooks up to the KTU and I can display the Weather,
make changes, etc.

Anyone have any ideas about how the host mode in a Paccomm Tiny II with X1J$
needs to be setup to access a device (Kantronics KTU with WeatherNode
firmware) hooked to the rs-232 db-25 pin port.

This will have indoor/outdoor temperature readings on our packet
node/repeater site on Mt. Belmont at 7,330 feet. We like the KTU as it store
data for about two months.

Thanks Bill K7MT
