Tried to post a message tonight and it didn't "take", so if this is a duplicate, I have to apologize:
?
Dan, thanks for the kudos.? I think you'll even be more happy that we have been able to make the tnc work DIRECTLY with the ratflector software without needing the TCP/IP "layer".
?
Mr. Thielen from the Toledo Mobile Radio Association shared with me his configuration file.? Turns out that DRATS software puts an extra colon (:) behind the com port setting in the configuration file that causes it to mess up the repeater/reflector software during startup.? Fix the configuration file, problem goes away.
?
The configuration file is named repeater.config and can be found using windows search.? It will be in different locations depending upon which operating system you are running.
?
Anyway, our old configuration was:
?
devices = [('net:192.168.1.147:20011', ''), ('tnc:COM6:0:', '9600')]
?
Remove the extra colon
?
devices = [('net:192.168.1.147:20011', ''), ('tnc:COM6:0', '9600')]
?
And now the TNC works directly with the repeater/ratflector software.? If you have a soundcard, all you need to do is get the AGWExpress software from and it will set up a virtual com port to the TCP port on the soundcard modem software.
