#file-notice
开云体育Let’s consider the history of D-RATS. When it was first developed (and still under development) by Dan, it was intended to be a D-STAR data tool when there wasn’t one. The development through 0.3.9 offered some very good features, but I’ll be blunt, Dan lost interest and moved on to Chirp and other projects. At that point, it was a functional application, but all of the bugs had not been worked out. ? To this point various groups, including Larry’s (an my) own state of Georgia along with other areas, has active D-RATS groups and it’s been used and continues to be used in emcomm applications including ARES and AUXCOMM. In Georgia, D-RATS is considered one of three desirable data programs also including Winlink and NBEMS. Does it still have some bugs, YES, but isn’t that the reason there is an active effort by Maurizio and others to migrate it to a supported version of Python so that development can continue. ? One of the reasons Winlink is a reliable tool is that there is a team of developers actively working on the app and I applaud their effort. D-RATS now has that, but it will take time. As I always say, if you don’t like something, don’t use it but don’t throw stones at those who do use it and trying to make it better. ? Thanks to Maurizio and team for your continued effort to make D-RATS a better tool for D-STAR and others. ? John WB4QDX ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of

Perhaps you are not used to the reliability and dependability and rich feature set of Winlink Express and FLDIGI. The programs work reliably, always install flawlessly and have many forms. They
are very useful in an RF environment. I offered this in response to another complaint. It has been my experience for years. I'm sorry if it i Larry, AB4NX ? ?

Can I ask what drives to this statement? ? Thanks, maurizio ? Da:
[email protected] <[email protected]> per conto di Larry Whited <lwhited1@...> When DRATS works, out of the box on current Windows machines, I will consider installing it. It is nowhere near ready after all these years. It is not suitable?for emcomm in its current form. Let me know when it is fully ready for primetime and I will be a very happy user! Larry Whited, AB4NX From:?[email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of David Holman via groups.io <aikidave20@...> ? I downloaded the D-RATS tar.gz in dropped it on my desktop.? When I tried to run it, the traceback said that there was no "gi".? I have GIT on this laptop.? How do you run D-RATS??? Thanks David, AC7DS ? On 12/3/23 14:04, Group Notification wrote:
