This is a cool development, and I’m mentioning it in this week’s issue of
Zero Retries newsletter.
Thanks.
It is going to take a while as I plan to try to document it as a teaching project as I go to help people to contribute. There is also a lot of stuff that I need to learn.
Volunteer testers will be needed for testing devices that I do not have and really will need some help keeping the wiki at up to date.
As I mention in Zero Retries, I hope that DRATS2 can implement the “big
flip” necessary to be able to use DV Fast Data mode in the Icom D-Star
radios that include that mode.
As I understand it, and I could be very wrong, the Fast Data mode is similar to an Ethernet bridge connected to the local network that the computer is on and can be configured for tcp/ip routed over that bridge.
In that case, a d-rats repeater would treat it as any other tcp/ip connection, so existing e-rats clients could connect to a d-rats repeater that is accessible over that bridged network.
