Re: Preferences tab
Hey Jim, It sounds like you enabled the spell checker in preferences, but you do not have the spell checker installed on your computer. Search the internet for instructions to install Aspell in windows. (Or just un check the box). Patrick (N3TSZ)

Re: Log access issues
I just installed gedit on my Linux machine running Lubuntu 18.04. I can now view the debug log. Patrick (N3TSZ)

OK, I just started up a RaspPI and a D-RATS v0.3.3 that I configured maybe six months ago and indeed it crashes as you describe when trying Help>Show debug log.? The problem with mine is that it is trying to show the debug file using gedit, but gedit isn't installed.? The cure was to install gedit.? Another approach is to use a different editor to look at the file:? /home/pi/.d-rats/debug.log I still need to try with this with the latest distribution version. 73,? Richard Browning? AD5RB |

Re: Log access issues
Richard, Thanks to all for your replies, I am able to access the log files I want in both win7 and win10. In both of those cases all I need do is click on help>show debug log, or View>log on the toolbar. In the Linux app I am not able to do the same without D-RATS crashing. I am not sure either of these files will help me ID what is occurring with a friends D-RATS instance but it is a place to start. I have since satisfied myself with the black screen issue being caused by the "berkley time share'. That is a mere left click to bring the screen back and continue with the chat, unhandy at times perhaps but nothing one cannot adapt to.
Once again Thanks to all those who have replied thus far. -- AL M KF5SMH |

Log access issues
Good Morning all!
I am running d-rats 0.3.9.3 for a ratflector on a Pi4 4gb, I have tried to get into my debug log and the main log with no success. If I click on either one of them I get the d-rats has encountered an error splash screen and when I click ignore all my d-rats just shuts down. I am trying to use the logs for troubleshooting some other d-rats issues and could use a little help here. -- AL M KF5SMH |

Re: Questions: setting up a ratflector - how to host?
I have my ratflector running on a home Internet account through Charter Spectrum here in Louisiana.? A ratflector needs to be on a static IP address.? My ratflector is running on a Raspberry Pi.? Information on setting it up that way can be found in the document "Drat Ratflector on a Raspberry Pi v3.pdf".? I have that document available for download off my ratflector, but it is probably in the Files section here too.? You can set the static IP address up in your own router.? The hostname for the ratflector StTammany.ratflector.com was offered to me as a service of Ed Woodrich and John Davis through dstarinfo.com.? I then got with https://noip.com/remote-access?to set it up for the ratflector to point to a ddns IP name.? Software running on my home computer called DUC, short for Dynamic Update Client runs to check to see what IP address I was given by the Internet Service Provider, Spectrum.? The address is relayed back to noip.com so they can make sure all calls to the ddns name I specified gets routed back to my current IP address.? It has worked flawlessly.? You can drop a message to the guys over at dstarinfo.com or just set up directly with noip.com for a ddns name so you can tell people what URL to put in their software to find your ratflector.? For example,? Noip knows me as sttammany.ddns.net and keeps track of my current IP address as stated above.? The ratflector.com address is linked to the ddns.net name.? You could probably link to the ratflector using either URL.? Noip.com used to offer a free service but you had to log in so often to renew it or pay an annual fee to keep from having to be reminded to go back every 30 days to renew.? I don't know if they still offer the service that way or not.? I found it easier to pay for the service upfront for a couple of years as it was not that expensive.

Re: Problem With D-Rats
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYep¡ That is weird. I will watch for that issue to pop up. Hard to figure out if it does not occur very often. Best ¨C Jack/KD4IZ ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Glen Strecker
