RMS CHANNEL LINK AND WINLINK MAP

[Ing. David Lama]

Hello 

My club station HI8SDR-10 was recently approved as an RMS Gateway. I'm running Pat (v1.0.0) as the gateway software on a Raspberry Pi/Linux, connected via LinBPQ (AGWPE) to a Kantronics KAM TNC on 145.010 MHz / 9600bps AX.25.

I've already confirmed the gateway is working correctly - I successfully connected to the CMS both via Telnet and over real RF through another gateway (HI8H-10).

My question: what do I need to configure so that my station appears on the RMS Channel List and the Winlink map (winlink.org/RMSChannels)? Does Pat report this information automatically to the CMS, or is there an additional registration/configuration step required?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Pat is a client, it does not provide gateway service. Your BPQ server is doing that. You need to add the WL2KREPORT line to your BPQ configuration. See info here:
