Radio: Set UR, R1 and R2 as if you are making a voice contact with another radio. Set the radio to low speed data mode. This includes turning off GPS and setting DV DATA TX to AUTO. Confirm the speed setting. You usually have a choice of 4800 or 9600. The IC-91AD and 92AD use 38400. If you are using hand-held radios, turn off power save. Software: Go to Preferences>Radio and edit the connection you made for the radio. The port speed must match the setting in the radio. Under Transfers Set Warmup Length to 16. Set Warmup Timeout to 0. ?Click Save to exit preferences. Use the drop-down box in the lower-left corner of the chat window to select the radio connection you made. Type a message in the chat box and press Enter - the radio should transmit. A properly configured Radio connection will also decode position reports from mobile radios. Look in the Event log tab to see if you are receiving GPS sentences. If you see me on a D-RATS internet connection, give me a call, and I will try to talk you through it.

Thanks again for the reply. ?I did answer this once but I guess it did not go anywhere. 1, ?We have just two people testing out the system at the present time. ?We are connected to the repeater as the radio is transmitting and the screen on the computer is showing CQ CQ CQ in red. ?The bottom messages go by very fast, but in the event file it looks like I am connected. 2. The computer is connected to the radio and internet.? 3. ?One of the questions I have is what should be the settings on the dstar radio? ?I have not seen any discussion on that matter. ?UR ?, R1 ?, R2? ?What should UR be set at. 4. I see all the stations except the other radio that is on dstar what we are trying to connect. Thanks again for the help. ?If you give me your email address I can send you the screen views from the computer and radio directly which might help. Thanks again
