Webchat and winlink over radio.

[M Roemer]

Craig,

I now have two digipi's running. I have one for the server that is connected to the internet and the other as a satellite. I am trying to get winlink server and PAT to talk to each other over the radio. I am using frequency 145.730 for this. I turn on the winlink server and it seems to start fine. When I try to connect with PAT it comes up with QSY failure, and when I try to connect it times out. When I bring up the RMS list it does not show my station. I have tried webchat over the radio also with no avail. I look to me that the radios are talking to each other. I am using a digirig mobile with a ID-4100a for my server. I have a HT with an AIOC on the other end. They are both on outside antennas. If you have any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Mark,

With regard to the Winlink gateway, I believe you have to register your station with Winlink and get permission to run a gateway before it will work and show up in the gateway list. 

Have you already done that?

If you have already done that, not sure where to go next.

Ron,

Yes I have done that, it shows on the winlink website. 

Thank you.

Hi Mark,

Click "update cache" to refresh the winlink server list, if it's not in
there,
the server still isn't registered (can take a long time for winlink guys to
get back to you).

Click PktLog on the Winlink server, see any packets coming in?  Look
for lines with "audio level" in them.

Lastly, there are mixed results using the same callsigns on the servers
and the clients, since they think they're connecting to themselves and
don't necessarily hit RF.

Disregard the QSY failure, it's not possible with the aioc, normal.

Craig,

I got the radios to talk to each other once, but they will not connect again. They were talking to each other with the server being at 61 percent and the client being at 51 percent. 

Do you think it has to do with audio settings? What should they be around number wise? Should I try to setup my client with another call sign? 

Thank for the help!

Hi Mark,

Click PktLog on both hosts to see what is actually being decoded.

What rigs are you using?  Things like the baofeng mini have a poor
tx/rx turnaround time and can't really do fast ax.25 networking, at
least not well with their dumb transmit tail.

In PktLog look for "audio volume" lines, adjust transmit/capture
volumes so they're between 20 and 80, 50 on average.

Craig,

I am using a ID-4100A for my server side and a AR-5RM for my client side. I am getting packets back and forth now, I just have to figure out how to fine tune the audio. When I look at the PktLog on the client side it goes up to 80 at one time and then down to 36 on the next receive. When I look at the server side PktLog it stays at 70 - 72. Do you have any ideas on this?

20 to 80 is great, 50 on average is perfect.  I see swings from 30 to 80
here in California -- normal imho.
I wouldn't change your setup at all.

Craig,

Again thank you for your assistance on this. I greatly appreciate it.

Hi Mark -

So long as it's not swinging wildly between direct packets from the same station! %^)
