Fred,
D-Star modules are just a letter and there is no special
"dedication" for a D module on an XLX system. So basically you are
able to use any module you like.
But performance via a XLX repeater is poor at best since there is
no guard against UDP packet loss or packet reordering.
And just keep in mind that if you start doing data transmissions
on an XLX module without asking for permission first, there is a
black list in XLX and you will land in that list exceptionally
fast, either under your own callsign or as your local repeater,
souring the mash for all your fellow hams using that repeater.
Better use either D-Rats reflector or set up your own MMDVM/ircddb
hotspot which actually allows a d-rats data connection to a D-Rats
reflector.
Or, if there is an option available and interest in this, convince
your local D-Star repeater admin to ensure data connectivity to a
D-Rats reflector (if the repeater's "brain" is a ircddb system).
The D-Rats reflector connection uses TCP and provides a much
better user experience.

Fred,

You should be able to use ANY D-Star
reflector with a “D” module available but you need other users
connected to that reflector.
D-Rats will often work on other reflector
modules, but it will interrupt voice communications. If your
computer is connected to the internet, it is much more
efficient and potentially less disruptive to connect directly
to one or more of the “Ratflectors”. There is a great list at:

Hello,
thank you for all your answers, my concern came from the configuration of the ic-705. With this setting:
all works.
?
Do you use a particular DCS/XLX to communicate regularly with d-rats?

I am re-starting with d-rats and especially starting with my IC-705.

Can someone explain to me how to connect the 705 to d-rats via the USB port under windows? (10).
?
in advance thank you
