[Dxspider-support] PC17 problem ?

[Rene Olsen]

Hi.

I think that Ian, G0VGS, has posted a message about this problem before, but I have 
not seen any reply to his message.

There seems to be some kind of PC17 problem.

Let me try to explain.

This is how the nodelist looks at oz5bbs-7 right now:

Please note that DK8LV is shown as being connected at DB0SUE-7. I thought that was 
strange, so I took a look at the log from today and yesterday. I used grepdbg to extract 
all lines containing DK8LV and found the following.

11Mar2002 at 19:48:08 <- I DB0SUE-7 PC16^DB0SUE-7^DK8LV - 1^H9^
11Mar2002 at 19:48:41 <- I DB0SUE-7 PC17^DK8LV^DB0SUE-7^H9^
11Mar2002 at 19:48:46 <- I DB0SUE-7 PC16^DB0SUE-7^DK8LV - 1^H9^
11Mar2002 at 19:49:08 <- I DB0SUE-7 PC17^DK8LV^DB0SUE-7^H9^

That is all the PC16 and PC17 frames I could find in the log. According to that DK8LV 
should not be at DB0SUE-7, since a PC17 was received at 19:49 yesterday.

I then did a "init db0sue-7" and this is what the log shows.

1015946606^<- I DB0SUE-7 PC16^DB0SUE-7^DF1LG - 1^DL4TT - 1^DL6LV-1 - 1^DL2LAR-1 - 
1^DF5LQ - 1^DF3LJ-1 - 1^DL6KVA - 1^DJ2RB - 1^DJ4LH
 - 1^OZ1DPR - 1^EA7WA-7 - 1^DL3OT - 1^DL6LAU - 1^DL2ZS - 1^H9^

No DK8LV to be seen there.

Aha. I then did a "sh/c" at oz5bbs-7 and got the following.

DK8LV still showing up as being at DB0SUE-7.

I then disconnected DB0SUE-7 and connected to it again. Now it shows this.

DK8LV is no longer shown as being connected to DB0SUE-7.

It looks to me as there might be a problem.

OZ5BBS-7 is isolated at DB0SUE-7 and OZ5BBS-7 only sends OZ nodes to
DB0SUE-7. PC16, PC17,PC19 and PC21 all with hop 1.
