Sorry for the lag - I was offline yesterday for a Boy Scout activity.
We pay an ISP a few dollars a year to maintain the domain name . One of the ISP services allows adding the name as an alias. That gets anything a dressed to "" forwarded to our home system. Our home router is setup to "port forward" requests for port 9000 to the Raspberry Pi computer on our home LAN that hosts the d-rats_repeater software. For cases where your home IP address changes frequently there are services like DuckDNS that will sync up the ip address when it changes.
Adding a radio to a Ratflector is just like adding one in the d-rats client. It's been a while since I've looked at d-rats code but as I recall the code is almost the same.
Let me know if you need help, I'll be glad lend a hand.
Mike, N0SO

Thanks for the quick responses everyone.
Some of the posts promp more questions.
I see that when I installed D-rats it installed the repeater program. Didn't know after using using D-rats for years even what that was. Big Duh on my part.
First question is to Mike n0so. How did you get a HTTP address for your ratflector? I'm familiar with setting up websites and I use CoreFTP to work on them.
Second question is to Chris ku7pdx. You said internet only. To add a radio, is setting up a radio in the repeater exe. the same as setting up a radio in the D-rats communications tool exe. ??
