Re: D-RATS and Soundmodem


Mitch Winkle
 

Well, that was easy.? I am online with D-RATS HF AFSK 300 baud.

I used the KISS TNC option in the D-RATS setup, and linked Direwolf via it's KISS TCP4 linkage using socat.? Obviously, this is run as root or by using "sudo".

socat -d -d PTY,link=/root/d-rats,raw,echo=0 TCP4: &

Then in the D-RATS Radio config:
Add a new radio and give it a name.
Type = TNC
Serial Port=/root/d-rats
Baud Rate=9600
TNC Port=0
AX.25 Enabled=
Digi Path=

Just sent a wx request on 30m

HF packet is very reliable, and with a good modem like UZ7HO or Direwolf, it's terrific.

I can always be found on 10.141.6 USB (10145 for those who insist on LSB) 300 baud AFSK 1600/1800 (1700 center obviously).? Always happy to experiment and move around the bands.

Node call is AB4MW-7 and FBB is AB4MW-4.? PMail address is ab4mw.#RICH.VA.USA.NOAM

I can install D-RATS and see what's what on HF as a target if you like.? I will report back here if I get it running.

Hi Mitch,

Thank for your response. You make some good points. The reason I have been focused on PSK and other modes for HF is mostly because of the negative reports I have read about the reliability of HF packet. Some of the APRS folks go on and on about "retries from hell". But now that the latest software has multiple decoders available, it may worth giving 300 baud AFSK another look. (I try to avoid using the word "packet" when talking about D-RATS.) When I get my HF station going again, I'll send out an invitation to try D-RATS on HF again.

Thanks de,
Patrick (N3TSZ)
