So, Thursday Night Tony (KA5TRO) and myself (KD5NJR) tried out Jeff's BBS via the new HF port. WOW ! IT WORKED !!
It was very similar (and easy) to logging in via VHF using UZ7HO Soundmodem and the terminal emulator that ships with that software.
Wednesday night I did some prep work.
- Upgraded to the most recent version of FLDIGI ( downloaded from the FLDIGI webpage )
- Made a few test contacts with PSK-31 on 20m ( 14.070 MHz )to verify my mic and speaker settings were unchanged.
- Downloaded and installed BPQ (as Jeff mentioned in his earlier post)
Thursday night we
- Made a few test contacts with PSK-31 on 20m ( 14.070 MHz )to verify my mic and speaker settings were unchanged.
- Downloaded and installed BPQ (as Jeff mentioned in his earlier post)
- Overwrote the configuration file for BPQ (as Jeff mentioned in his earlier post)
- Made a few changes to FLDIGI (as Jeff mentioned in his earlier post)
When you bring up BPQ32 (It will bring up FLDIGI as well)
- open a terminal screen
- give the command : attach 5
- give the command : modem bpsk250
- give the command : c ae5me-15
And you should hear the handshaking between you and Jeff's BPQ software.
To check mail
- give the command : BBS
- give the command : OP 20 //this will keep test transmissions of a reasonable length
- give the command L or LM //one of these is LIST, on is LIST MINE
- if you see something worth reading, RM //read mine.
- if you see something worth reading, R num //num is the message number.
- ? gives pretty good help.
- Try it out and have fun !!
