[nos-bbs] JNOS Winlink RMS - Set frequency advertised

[Andrew - K1YMI]

Hay Maiko,

     So in order to stay listed as an available RMS gateway you need to 
report home (every 30 mins possibly). If you don't send the updates you 
never appear on the list that you get on Winlink express, PAT etc that 
shows you the nearest gateway to your location.

Click on "RMS List" and then select "packet" here - 
https://www.winlink.org/RMSChannels and you'll see the list I am talking 
about.

G8BPQ has a nice primer here - 
https://www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Documents/WL2KReporting.html

There's an example here with this project < 
https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/rmsgw > that has some scripts that run 
every 30 mins to update winlink.org. (rmsgw_aci & 'updatesysop.py)

But basically there's a blob of data sent to api.winlink.org every x 
mins that includes "Callsign, Locator, Hours, Freq, Mode, Power, Ant 
Height, Ant Gain, Ant Direction"

If you are not changing modes and frequencies... this sounds like a 
simple script run by an AT command or even just a cronjob. But I am 
probably over simplifying things.
