Hey all:
Just getting setup for d-rats. I am using the 51a radio, using the "orange" RT Systems cable. I have the following set correctly in my radio; GPS TX Mode = OFF, GPS Auto TX = OFF, DV Data TX = Auto and baud set to 9600.
I have set up (in d-rats) the 51a radio in the Preferences/Radio tab using Com 3 and baud of 9600.
When I start d-rats it shows connected to the 51a. However I cannot get it to transmit when I ping a callsign (ping station feature) or use ping "all stations" to start a conversation. The 51a is selected in the dropdown selection of radios to use, left of send line/button.
I realize other station(s) has to be in the "stations" list in order to chat with them first. So where am I going wrong and how do I get other stations propagated into the "stations" section and why will my radio not key up?
Thx n5gqb Sly
