Jeff have made some comments about it.

On HF I`d recommend starting with a maxframe other than 7.
With the Tracker`s intelligence I found it best to start 
connections on HF with a conservative value of maxframe = 1 then 
let the modem ramp things up if band/link conditions support it. 
Also suggest keeping a few hundred ms of @T2 in there to help slower radios.

Obviously VHF/UIHF is a different story, but suggest load testing 
different values and being careful if you`re going to have users with the 
Tasco (D72, D74, D700, D710 or KISS mode TNCs with no/minimal buffering connecting in. 
Be sure to test with transfers both ways and large enough 
(at least 7-8kb on the link) to bring buffering issues to light or nasty surprises may lurk.

SCS Tracker Driver for BPQ32 switch

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

SCSTracker.dll

This driver allows BPQ32 applications to make and receive Robust Packet or HF Packet calls using the SCS Tracker TNC. This driver is intended for using the Tracker on HF for forwarding, and only allows one connect at a time. For normal VHF operation or user access on HF, there is a separate driver, SCSTrackerMulti, that supports multiple connections (but not scanning).

Although the Tracker is an ax.25 controller, the driver only allows it to be used by one session at a time, so you must use the ATTACH command to allocate the port before making a call. So if your Tracker port is BPQ32 port 3, enter

ATTACH 3

Possible responses are:

#BPQ11:GM8BPQ-2} Ok

#BPQ11:GM8BPQ-2} Error – Invalid Port   // Port is not a Tracker port.

#BPQ11:GM8BPQ-2} Error – Port in use   // Port is in use.

Once attached to a port, you can issue commands to the TNC. These are the same as you would use to control the Tracker from a terminal, except that you don’t type an ESC before each command.

You can also select which mode a connect will be made in be entering HFPACKET or RPACKET. So to make a Robust call, enter

ATT 3
RPACKET
C CALLSIGN

For a normal (300 Baud HF Packet) call enter:

ATT 3
HFPACKET
C CALLSIGN

Configuration.

The driver configuration is specified in the bpq32.cfg file

The driver is defined to BPQ32 as an External port, and needs some driver-specific configuration

The first line of the config defines what BPQ Application incoming calls should connect to. If omitted, calls go to the command handler.

If you are using the Rig Control feature for scanning, add the RIGCONTROL command next.

If you want to listen for both normal and Robust packet connects, use the SWITCHMODES n command. This specifes how long to spend in each mode. Note Rigcontrol will override this.

If you want users to be able to connect to any of your applications, use the USEAPPLCALLS command.

If you want the controller to start in Robust mode, and return to that mode after a connect, use DEFAULT ROBUST

All commands that are essential to run with BPQ32 are sent automatically. You only need to include any special setup you need.

The commands that are preset are in two groups. One set is sent before the commands you specify, so can be changed. The others are sent after your commands, as they are essential for correct operation with BPQ32.

Sent before your config

M UISC           ; Monitoring Enabled (needed for APPLCALL support)
%F 1500          ; Use the same centre frequency for normal and Robust packet.

Sent after your config

Z 0              ; No Flow Control
Y 1              ; One Channel
E 1              ; Echo - Restart process needs echo
%B R600 or %B 300 ; Depending if DEFAULT ROBUST is set

MYCALL is set to the PORT config PORTCALL if specified, otherwise to NODECALL. Any MYCALL in the config file is ignored.

Other possible configuraton parameters are:

FORCE ROBUST
Only use Robust Packet. Disable any switch to Normal Packet

WL2KREPORT
send Frequency info to the WINLINK database. See here for details.

UPDATEMAP
The modem logs connects to the Nodemap if you have specified a LOCATOR in your BPQ32.cfg. If you specify UPDATEMAP, stations heard will also be sent to the map.

BEACONAFTERSESSION
Send Beacon after each session

SCS Tracker Multiconnect Driver for BPQ32 switch

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

TrkMulti.dll

This driver allows the SCS Tracker TNC to be used in Host Mode for user access to BPQ32 applications. The Tracker can be used in KISS mode for this purpose, but the Tracker’s dynamic parameter tuning works only in Host Mode. There is a separate driver, SCSTracker that supports scanning, but only a single connect at a time, primarily for use for BBS forwarding.

Configuration.

The driver configuration is specified in the bpq32.cfg file

The driver is defined to BPQ32 as an External port, and needs some driver-specific configuration

All commands that are essential to run with BPQ32 are sent automatically. You only need to include any special setup you need. Any Tracker Commands can be entered. The PACKETCHANNELS command is used to set the number of connects accepted (Default is 10)

The commands that are preset are in two groups. One set is sent before the commands you specify, so can be changed. The others are sent after your commands, as they are essential for correct operation with BPQ32

Sent before your config

M UISC           ; Monitoring Enabled
%F 1500          ; Use the same centre frequency for normal and Robust packet.
F 200            ; Sets SABM retry time to about 5 secs

Sent after your config

Y n              ; n is PACKETCHANNELS, Number of Streams
Z 0              ; No Flow Control
E 1              ; Echo - Restart process needs echo

MYCALL is set to NODECALL. Any MYCALL in the config file is ignored.

 6504 pts/19   S+     0:00 grep kissattach

Now have a look in bpq32.cfg

root@gw:/usr/local/linbpq# grep COMPORT=/dev bpq32.cfg

Installing BPQ on the Raspberry Pi and TNC-Pi or Beaglebone Black and TNC-Black

Posted onAuthorPD9QLeave a comment

Willem AC0KQ heeft een grafische bpq-config programmaatje schreven. Hier onder de uitleg.
(bron http://www.prinmath.com/ham/bpqHOWTO.htm)

Tevens is er een Quickstart guide http://www.prinmath.com/ham/howto/quickstart/

Het perl script wat Willem AC0KQ heeft geschreven http://www.prinmath.com/ham/bpq-config

Willem A. Schreüder AC0KQ

The purpose of this HOWTO is to describe how to install BPQ on a Linux Single
Board Computer (SBC) such as the Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black.

BPQ is a very sophisticated NET/ROM compatible packet switch written by John
Wiseman G8BPQ. BPQ can be configured to be a sophisticated Packet BBS, a
WinLink2000 RMS gateway, an APRS iGate, or any combination of these.

One of the hurdles to setting up BPQ is that the configuration file can be
rather difficult to set up. To ease this, this HOWTO uses a program named
bpq-config which makes it easy to create the initial configuration.
While bpq-config is primarily intended to create the initial
configuration file which you can then modify, it is actually capable of creating
a fairly sophisticated configuration file using a menu-driven interface.

Much more detail about BPQ are provided at
G8BPQ Home Page

At this time bpq-config only supports the Raspberry Pi and Beagle Bone
Black with John Hansen’s TNC-Pi and TNC-Black. This is because these are fairly
predictable environments. However, with little modification bpq-config
can also be used with other systems.

If you have any corrections or comments about this HOWTO or bpq-config, please
email me. I get lots of junk mail, so
add BPQ to the subject line to get it by my spam filters.

Authorization

If you want to use BPQ as an RMS gateway to WinLink, you need to obtain authorization from the WinLink folks. See this link on how to do that.

To send APRS position reports to the APRS-IS via the APRS Tier 2 Network a
password is required. However, bpq-config contains a function to
generate that password for you, so no additional authorization is required.

Computer Hardware

The Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black are available from numerous sources. The
price for a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 is $35 from mail order vendors such as
MCM Electronics.

The Raspberry Pi B or B+ is sufficiently fast to run BPQ, so you can use that if
you happen to have one. The TNC-Pi works with all of these models.

The Raspberry Pi has the advantage of a very active user community, which makes
it the best supported device. The disadvantage of the Raspberry Pi is that it
has only one serial port, so if you want to use more than one TNC you need to
use the I2C bus to address the TNCs, which requires a bit more work.

The Beaglebone Black is has a street price around $50. It has the advantage of
a more mechanically stable mounting arrangement and four serial ports which
makes multiple TNC easy to mount and use.

The disadvantage of the Beagle Bone black is that it is not as well supported as
the Raspberry Pi so getting it configured is a bit more work.

TNC Hardware

  • The TNC-Pi is available at Coastal Chipworks
    either built or as a kit. Get the kit, it is easy to build and lots of fun.
    The instructions are almost as good as the old Heathkit manuals.
  • For most locations you need some sort of enclosure. I use the Bud
    Industries Pi Sandwitch which allows the Raspberry Pi and TNC Pi pair to be
    mounted.
  • The rPi runs on 5V, so for a 12V system you need a converter to supply 5V
    at 1A continuously. The 7805 style regulators generate a lot of heat at that
    current so I use the Murata 78SRH-5/2-C instead, which will work for input
    voltages from 8-32V DC. I use a right angle Micro USB cable which I cut to
    wire for power. If the cable uses standard color codes, white and red are data
    which you can ignore, red and black are positive and negative.
  • The rPi needs an SD card to store the software. The Model B uses a
    standard size SD, the Model B+ uses the Micro SD format. A high speed and
    reliable card is critical, so getting a 16GB Class 10 card is recommended. The
    bigger card should last longer since the wear is spread over a larger space.
    Get a spare since the cards do wear out eventually.

    Configuring the OS

    Raspbian switch to systemd starting with jessie (Debian 8). These instructions will work
    only with this latest version of Raspbian. For older versions see
    these instructions.

    • Download Raspbian which is
      Debian for the Raspberry Pi. There are several other OS versions, but this one is my
      choice as a pretty vanilla Linux distro. Unzip the image from the ZIP file and follow

      these instructions       to burn the image to the SD card.
    • Insert the card into the Pi and boot it. You can either
      • Connect a keyboard and monitor and log in directly.
      • Connect the pi to a network running DHCP and ssh into it. The hostname willshow up as RASPBERRY in the DHCP leases on your router.
    • Log in to the computer using user name pi and password raspberry.
    • Run sudo raspi-config
      • Expand Filesystem
      • Change User Password
      • Internationalisation (set time zone)
      • Advanced options (hostname)
    • Install new packages
      • sudo apt-get install vim telnet minicom i2c-tools libpcap0.8
    • Add new user with administrative privilidges
      • sudo adduser username
      • sudo adduser username sudo
    • Free up the serial line the TNC-Pi will use.
      • sudo systemctl mask serial-getty@ttyAMA0.service
    • Reboot the system to make sure the serial line is released.
      • sudo reboot

    Install and configure BPQ

    • Log in using the new user created above.
    • Create the BPQ sub-directory
      • mkdir BPQ
      • cd BPQ
    • Download bpq-config, make it executable and run it
      • wget http://www.prinmath.com/ham/bpq-config
      • chmod a+x bpq-config
      • sudo ./getbpq
    • bpq-config is menu-driven, so just follow the menus.Generally you would do the following things.
      1. Download the BPQ software.
      2. Configure BPQ
        1. Configure the node.
        2. Configure one or more ports.
        3. Configure one or more telnet users.
        4. Optionally add one or more AXIP node maps.
        5. Write the configuration.
      3. Start BPQ and test it.
      4. Set BPQ to automatically start on boot.

    Using BPQ

    • Connect to BPQ using your web browser by typing inhttp://X.X.X.X:8008/on the URL bar, where X.X.X.X is the IP address of your BPQ node
    • You can connect to BPQ node from any computer on the LAN usingtelnet X.X.X.X 8010
  • Log in using your BPQ user name and password set for the Telnet user.

; A keepalive may be needed if you have not properly configured your
; router to direct incoming UDP traffic to the specific machine on you
; LAN which is running BPQ32. You should properly configure your router
; so that the keepalive is unneeded, as this ploy is not completely
; reliable!

; In the exceptional case where your ISP is dropping your incoming traffic
; testing has found that the keepalive might help ‘keep the door open’.
; In the following example a keepalive packet is sent every 30 seconds:
; MAP AA1AA-1 example.net KEEPALIVE 30 UDP 10093 B

; An experimental TCP communication mode was added with the 2009/Aug/28 Beta
; release. The purpose is to circumvent router issues which are almost certain
; when ‘your side’, which we will call the client side, cannot control access
; to direct incoming UDP packets to your machine. Instead you will originate
; a connection via TCP. TCP is a connected protocol, all routers should
; automatically set up the return path to your machine.

; An example would be your BPQ32 node, with a node call of MYCALL-5, on a
; laptop at a public access WiFI site. To connect to AA1AA-1 via this method
; you will need this entry in your MAP list (without the ; of course):
; MAP AA1AA-1 example.net TCP-Master 10093 B

; AA1AA-1 is the node call of the remote side, e.g. server side. The server
; side must have the ability to program its router to direct incoming TCP
; traffic with the specified port number to the machine running BPQ32 Node
; AA1AA-1, just as it does for UDP.

; BPQ32 Node AA1AA-1 at URL=example.net would add the folllowing entry to its
; MAP list:
; MAP MYCALL-5 0.0.0.0 TCP-Slave 10093 B

; As a result AA1AA-1 will listen for TCP packets on port 10093 from MYCALL-5.
; When heard, a TCP connection will result over which AX.25 traffic will flow.
; The server side obtains the client side ip address when the connection
; request is received.

; As currently implemented the client side will have to make advance
; arrangements with the server side so that the correct MAP entries will be in
; effect, as well as to specify a unique TCP port number for each prearranged
; client.

/*
Applications:

You can define additional Node commands that are available to your users. These may connect to
applications running on you computer, or be aliases or ‘shortcuts’ to other node commands.
For example you can define the command “BBS”. This can either be set up to connect to a BBS running
on your computer, or to be an alias for a command that connects to a BBS on another system.

You can set up a callsign that if connected to will select the command, and if required cause the
call to be added to your NODES list.

The format is:

APPLICATION n,CMD,New Command,Call,Alias, Quality

n Application Number. You can define up to 32.
CMD The command the user types
New Command (optional) The Node command to be run
Call (optional) The call which directly invokes CMD
Alias and Quality (optional) If specified, causes an entry for Call and Alias to be added to your
NODES table with the specified Quality.

Associated with each Application number is an application mask. Most BPQ32 applications can be configured to
use any Application. An exception is AR-Cluster using the OCX interface, which must be Appl 1. Normally an Application Mask is configured in the application, rather than an Application Number. The following table gives
the Application Mask values:

Appl: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, etc
Decimal Mask: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128, etc
Hexadecimal Mask: 0x1,0x2,0x4,0x8,0x10,0x20,0x40,0x80, etc

*/

APPLICATION 1,BBS,,PI8BDG,BDGBBS,255
APPLICATION 2,CHAT,,PI1BDG-4,BDGCHT,255
APPLICATION 3,RMS,C 2 CMS,PI8BDG-10,BDGRMS,255
APPLICATION 4,DX,C 2 HOST 0,PI8BDG-6,BDGDXC,255

/*

In this example a single local application, AR-Cluster, is supported.
If a connected user enters ‘DX’ the node will involk the application
associated with the first positional parameter.

If we elect to use the OCX interface to AR-Cluster, it must be the first
positional parameter, as AR-Cluster does not give the user the option to
set it’s application mask, rather it is hard coded as 0x1 internally in
AR-Cluster.

If instead we choose to use the AGWtoBPQ interface for AR-Cluster, the
applications may be in any of the 8 possible positions. However we have
chosen position 1, thus the mask in AGWtoBPQ must be configured as 0x1 to
correspond to the first positional parameter.

Aanpassen MH lijst Linbpq

Posted onAuthorPD9Q2 Comments

Nu irriteer ik me mateloos aan de mh lijst van Linbpq. Dus ben ff druk geweest met het aanpassen van de lijst. Op regel 3285 van het bestand Cmd.c van de linbpq-source kom je het volgende tegen.

	}
	else
		Bufferptr += sprintf(Bufferptr, "Heard List for Port %dr", Port);

	while (n--)
	{

En op regel 3367 het volgende.

	if (CMD->String[2] == 'V')		// MHV
			Bufferptr += sprintf(Bufferptr, "%-10s %d %s %sr", Normcall, MH->MHCOUNT, ptr, DigiList);
		else
			Bufferptr += sprintf(Bufferptr, "%-10s %s %sr", Normcall, ptr, DigiList);

		MH++;

Daar heb ik het volgende van gemaakt. Regel 3285

	}
	else
		Bufferptr += sprintf(Bufferptr, "MHeard List PI1LAP for Port %dr", Port);
		Bufferptr += sprintf(Bufferptr, "Callsign   Last heard     Pkts RX    via Digi ;) r");
		Bufferptr += sprintf(Bufferptr, "---------  -----------    -------    ------------------------------------------r");

	while (n--)
	{

En op regel 3367

		if (CMD->String[2] == 'V')		// MHV
			Bufferptr += sprintf(Bufferptr, "%-10s %-10s %-10d %-30s %sr", Normcall, ptr, MH->MHCOUNT, DigiList, MH->MHFreq);
		else
			Bufferptr += sprintf(Bufferptr, "%-10s %-10s %-10d %-30s %sr", Normcall, ptr, MH->MHCOUNT, DigiList, MH->MHFreq);
					
		MH++;

Nou je mag oordelen wat je mooier vindt.

Mh lijst standaard

Mh lijst aangepast

Ik heb aan John GM8BPQ gevraagd of dit standaard kon worden. Helaas is hij van mening dat dit te veel data op rf genereert. Dus je bent genoodzaakt om steeds de source aan te passen als er een nieuwe versie uitkomt.

ps Danny ik heb ff je mh-lijst misbruikt 🙂

 ;
 ;    Specify a Dest Addreess and Path for each port you want to use for APRS. No dest means receive only port
 ;    Ports without an APRSPath statement will not be used by the Digi
 ;
 ;    Note if you specify APRS as the destination call it will be replaced by the current BPQ32 APRS
 ;    identification destination - APBPQ1. If you really want to send APRS, specify APRS-0.

 ;    Define Crossport Digi. For each port, a list of ports to send a packet to (IS means send to APRS-IS)
 ;    If a Digimap isn't specified for a port, digi out on the port the packet arrived on,
 ;        and send to APRS-IS (if enabled)
 ;    If you want to digi on same port, but not send to APRS-IS, Specify Digimap n=n 
 ;    If you dont want to digi on a port, specify Digimap n=
 ;
 ;    If you only have one APRS port, you probably don't need a Digimap statement

                        ; For a Local "Fillin" Digi, you could include WIDE1-1 and leave out TraceCalls and FloodCalls
						
;ReplaceDigiCalls       ; Replace DigiCalls with APRSCall. Omit if you want the call to be left as it is received.
						
 MaxTraceHops=2         ; Max value of n in CALLN-n processing. If a packet is received with n greater than
 MaxFloodHops=2         ; this, the value will be replaced BEFORE it is decremented.

 ;    Specify position. You can specify a fixed LAT/LONG, or use GPS

 LAT=5133.52N           ; Must be in standard APRS Format (ddmm.mmN/S)
 LON=00348.15E          ; Must be in standard APRS Format (dddmm.mmE/W)

 ;GPSSpeed=4800             ; overriding the values set above.


 ; The Digi can generate Object and Item reports. 
 ; The format is pretty strict - a single space between param=value pairs,
 ; a comma but no spaces in PATH and PORT string.
 ; Minimum interval is 10 mins. You can have as many OBJECT lines as you need.
 ; See thr APRS specification for information on how to format an Object or Item string.

 ;
 ; You can specify a filter command to be sent when you log on to APRS-IS. Normally you don't
 ; need one. The APRS Mapping Application (BPQAPRS) sets a filter when it starts,
 ; and if you aren't running an APRS application, there isn't much point in getting info from APRS-IS
