The original D-Rats ratflector, RAT, went off line permanently a few weeks ago.??Dan Smith pulled the plug on it and said he didn¡¯t realize people were still using it.??I guess since he had stopped supporting the project he didn¡¯t even check.??That ratflector, ref.d-rats.com, was the only ratflector listed in the image distribution of the program.??If you had never added any additional Ratflectors to your list, you will think the program has stopped working.??It has not.??In fact, D-Rats is working as good as or better than it did before.??A new Worldwide Ratflector has been created to take the place of RAT.??It is KB8PMY.net.??Add it in Preferences under the radio tab.??Hit Add.??When the pop-up window opens, give the ratflector a name, choose Network as the connection and 9000 as the port.??
Below is a list of additional ratflectors that are in use as found on dstarinfo.com with a couple of new ones added at the end.??There are probably more with other groups around the country who¡¯s names have not yet been submitted to them.?
