I know this is old, but I did have some communication with Ray Novak about the issue of at least text/chat compatibility on D-Rats and RS-MS1A (or i).?
As you know, the phone apps require the data stream to be in CI-V mode on the radio. I imagine this is because the phone app is used to send CI-V commands to the radio, which is something D-Rats is not concerned with. D-Rats needs "DV Data" which, from what I know, just sends streams of serial data in and out of the serial port.?
Chat in D-Rats can detect chat (text) from the phone app. If you turn on "raw data" you will see incorrectly formatted text chat in D-Rats (which is usually somewhat readable), much like incorrectly formatted D-PRS data comes into D-Rats if you leave it on.?
The issue is format for D-Rats but the bigger issue is whatever serial chat data D-Rats sends can't be read by the phone app. Apparently the phone app has no "raw data" mode, and if the format isn't correct, it just does not appear. I think the correction for this---in chat anyway---is with the phone app, not in D-Rats.?
My comms with Ray were a long time ago. Not sure a ticket was ever put in for Icom to look at this or not. It would be real nice for somebody with just a radio and a phone to join in on chat. I suspect pictures, files, email and other stuff are beyond the scope of this.?
