Re: Dstar to packet and Vice Versa

Dan, ? I have been following your progress and tenacity with D-RATS.? I am trying to bring New Mexico into the 21st Century and D-RATS is a major tool for EMCOMM.? If you can solve the D-RATS to packet, that would be great.? I believe that PACLINK as a server from D-RATS into RMS/CMS VHF is possible but had some TNC difficulties from my TS-2000.? Keep up the great work.

I don't have a TNC to try, but I would think you would have better luck with a TNC, rather than running AGWPE. The AGWPE connection in D-RATS was just an experiment and no real support was given to it. If I ever get my hands on some TNCs, I'll give it a good going over. I think that would a great way to get non D-STAR users interested in D-RATS. Also consider the TS-2000 and D-7XX radios have built-in TNCs. The Alinco DR-135 has a TNC option board that fits inside the radio. I also wonder if using the TNC in transparent mode would give better results. If I had one, I'd try it. Good luck trying to bring D-RATS to the masses. I've been trying for five years and have only made a small dent so far.

Patrick, have you run a TNC on the repeater app??? I don't have one, so I was using AGWPE.?? A cohort tried setting up a TNC and had trouble.? We stopped since I had trouble with AGWPE.?? Would be interesting to hear that you have made it work.

Yes. Run the D-RATS repeater application and make a connection for the D-STAR radio and the TNC. It will work like a crossband repeater, letting data pass in both directions.
