Re: Adding a D-Rats reflector directly into an Icom Dstar repeater stack
|
This is a great question. It's something I've always wanted to try. The ircddb system supports running D-RATS on the gateway computer. I don't know anymore about it than that. Since you mention Centos, I assume you are running a D-Plus system. The following is only my best guess - try this at your own risk! You can install D-RATS on Centos. It will report that two or three items are missing for D-RATS to run. You must install them manually. Run the D-RATS repeater application. Mark the "Accept incoming connections" box, click the on button and you should have a Ratflector at callsign.dstargateway.org port 9000.? Connecting to the repeater stack is not as clear. I assume you could make a network connection and point to port 20003. I do not know what the network address of the repeater modules would be. To my knowledge, none of this has been tried or tested. Use appropriate caution and back up your gateway database before you start tinkering.? If you do have some success, please report it to the group. Patrick (N3TSZ) From: "David Ranch dstar@...
