Hello Group,?
I am interested in running D-RATS without an Internet connection. I have an IC-9700 connected to a PC using the Data port and the data cable. I have set a port for the IC-9700 and when I ping all stations, the radio transmits, which is a good sign. I have several ratflectors configured in D-RATS, such as?gaares.ratflector.com. The radio is connected to the W4DOC repeater, module C, and I have configured all Connector and DV settings as explained in this forum. The question is as follows: Can I connect through the repeater to ratflectors using an RF-only port (ie, no internet on the host PC). Our Internet connection has gone down many times (tree limbs cutting the fiber optic during a storm), and it would be nice to have chat functionality via D-RATS in that scenario. What am I missing? When I post a message to the D-RATS chat under this condition there is no response.?
Thank you!
Facundo
