Re: Has anyone come up with a way to send forms via winlink?
not confused, thanks..
I wonder if this comment found in an old document is true and the problem? this is a cut and paste forgive the format......
"Also you can only use the ¡°email¡± form, as
the others are seen by WinLink as HTML being
embedded and it doesn't work."

Re: Has anyone come up with a way to send forms via winlink?
Mike
The only way I have been able to send NTS message via Winlink is to use OUTPOST. There's a check that enables you to send NTS message as a private message. There are NTS Target station on HF. I've been able to forward NTS using BPQ32 software from my BPq32 Mail forwarding to NTS Target station.
Hope this doesn't confuse you.

Hello All,
I may be all wet, but I suspect that what is the problem is a Windows 7 setting in the Sounds
setting section of the Control Panel. Or possibly, a setting in the sounds section of D-RATS.
Just my ha-penny.

We just had a comport issue with a drats install on a win 7 service pack 1.The comport appeared to be installed correctly in both drats and the device manager, every time we opened drats the comport opened and closed and was audible from the computer. We tried every trick we could think of, updating and re installing drivers, changing USB ports, all of the normal com port driver tricks. All to no avail, drats would on occasion transmit the log on call but not every time drats was started. The final fix was a clean uninstall of drats and a new install of the daily build 02232012. Since then the machine runs just fine, again the comport opening and dropping back out was audible like plugging in a USB cable to a port. I hope this helps someone else as it is a annoying problem to encounter. Al KF5SMH

Re: RF D RATS Using ID-880H Mobile
Mike,
This is an excellent find. ?I will give you credit for that. Since I run Linux, it is good to know that they work on Linux.
I have an IC-706 and an ID-880 in my truck. ?I have been thinking about adding a computer so I would have access to NBEMS and D-RATS in the truck. These cables are just the ticket to do that. ?I also plan to replace the really old USB to serial adapters that I have been using on everything else. ?
I have a Raspberry Pi that I use with my DVAP. ?I would like to be able to set up a ratflector on that as well. ?Perhaps you could provide some insight as to how you set yours up.
Thanks
David, AC7DS

Hi David,
I'm happy you found it useful.?
The cables are not shielded, but I've never had an RFI problem using them. A few ferrite snap-on beads might not be a bad idea as prevention, though.
I've used these cables as D-STAR rig data/programming cables and as rig control cables for the Yeasu FT-450s HF rigs our EOC has in our GO boxes.?
You can also get TTL level output versions, both 5V and 3.3V level. I've used the 5V TTL level version for ICOM CIV rig control of IC-706, IC-7000, IC-756Pro and IC-7100 rigs. For CIV use the 5V TTL output version of the cable instead of the RS-232 level and short the TX/RX wires together, then install the appropriate mating connector.
I'm using a 3.3V TTL output version to talk to the serial port of the Raspberry Pi that's running the N0SO Ratflector.
The cables work well with Linux and Windows, I've not tried them with a Mac.
I'd like to claim this idea as my own, but it's not. I started using these cables at the suggestion of a young man that I talked to at the ICOM D-RATS booth in Dayton a couple of years back. I don't ?remember his name or call to give credit where it's due.

Mike,
Those cables are awesome. ?I need to get 10 or so... ?Have you had any RFI problems connecting them to the radio? ?They don't look like they are shielded.

If you're handy with a soldering iron, these FTDI USB to RS-232 "wire end" cables work well:
The cable is a USB plug / converter at one end and "bare wires" at the other end. You will need to solder on a connector that fits your rig, in most cases a 2.5mm stereo plug (that's where the soldering iron come in). Connect the Orange wire to the tip, the yellow wire to the middle sleeve and the black wire to the base. You don't need to connect the other wires.
Pick your 2.5mm plug carefully, most of the ICOM rigs require a pretty narrow backshell on the plug. I've been known to leave the plug off and just cover the connections with heat shrink tubing.
The cables are about $23 from Mouser Electronics. They work well, I've made several.
The cable from RT systems that John suggested also works well. It may cost a little more, but no soldering would be required.

Now that I have a working D RATS program using the internet, I am wanting to set up a RF connection. Does anyone know of a USB version of the OPC-1529 data cable? If not, what serial to usb converter would you recommend? ?I am running Windows 8.1. Looking for recommendations from those that know the converter will work.

John thanks for the suggestion. Having a built in converter is the way to go. However I am a little confused. If this cable will work for programming and data transfer... Will my OPC-478U do the same? Work for both applications?

Re: RF D RATS Using ID-880H Mobile
John,
I am pretty sure that ICOM sells a USB version of the OPC-1529. ?It isn't cheap. I built my cable and just use a USB to serial adapter. ?The cable is easy to build and there are schematics all over the web. ?I would say connect to my D-RATS and download the schematics and the file describing the setup for the ID-880. ?However because of the weather I have everything shut down. ?
Sorry I couldn't be more help.?
Tnx

Connecting D-RATS Repeater to ircDDBGateway
Hi, May I ask if anyone here has been successful connecting D-RATS Repeater to a ircDDBGateway port? I try to connect it to 127.0.0.1:20011. This port is connected to DCS010R. I can see the traffic on xreflector.net, but the traffic from the R module doesn't seem to be heard back via the Repeater. Any ideas? SM0RUX Pontus
