 Here are some miscellaneous hints and tips on BPQ configuration. Here are some miscellaneous hints and tips on BPQ configuration.
 +
 +==== Showing up on the Maps ====
 +
 +There are at least 2 different maps you can configure your BPQ system to appear on, the primary BPQ map at [[http://nodemap.g8bpq.net:81/]], and the live connectivity map at [[https://nodes.ukpacketradio.network/packet-network-map.html]].
 +
 +In both cases you will need to set these in the root of bpq32.cfg:
 +
 +<code>
 +LOCATOR=<Lat/Lon GPS coordinates, or Maidenhead grid square>
 +MAPCOMMENT=<Briefly describe node>
 +</code>
 +
 +To appear on the live connectivity map as well (recommended), also set:
 +
 +<code>
 +EnableM0LTEMap=1
 +</code>
 +
 +The ID of your ports will also show up as a port description, and you can add more specific information about each port by adding M0LTEMapInfo in the port section which can help the map system, and other software built to read it's data, better understand your port. This is in the format:
 +
 +<code>
 +M0LTEMapInfo=<RF|PrivateNet|Internet|Other>,<DIAL+modem centre freq|freq_mhz>,<modulation>,<baudrate>,<bitrate>,<Access|Backbone|Mixed|Other>
 +</code>
 +
 +The DIAL+freq format is used if you are setting the frequency with rigcontrol. 40m slot one would be DIAL+850.
 +
 +Example port configuration:
 +
 +<code>
 +PORT
 +  PORTNUM=1
 +  ID=432.625 9600 GFSK IL2P+CRC
 +  M0LTEMapInfo=RF,432.625,GFSK,9600,9600,Mixed
 +  
 +  ..... other port config ...
 +
 +ENDPORT
 +</code>
