[Dxspider-support] User 'ping' sequence?

[Eric Carling]

If you are using AGW, you might want to check if the AGWPE parameter  "Check
Every (units=sec)" is set too short and whether lengthening it to 300 makes
any difference.

I apoligize for not being more clear in my first posting. This appears to
only
happen on on the RF ports. But it's not a PC51 or other cluster protocol
query.
It's just a simple ax25 data [RR] frame, here's an example as monitored via
AGWTerminal:
 
  1:Fm W4QB To HSVDX4-2 <RR P/F R1 >[18:22:06]
  1:Fm HSVDX4-2 To W4QB <RR P/F R1 >[18:22:07]
  2:Fm W4QB To N4NM <RR P/F R0 >[18:22:10]
  2:Fm N4NM To W4QB <RR P/F R0 >[18:22:12]
 
NOTE: Port 1 is LAN backbone node-to-node, Port 2 is a user channel.
 
It appears to be a handshake of some sort, like "hey, are you still there?"
query. This is what I meant by 'ping'. This happens with every RF connected
station whether user or node, and at approximately 1 minute intervals.
 
Hope this makes more sense. Thanks in advance.
