Re: D-RATS with IC-5100
No, I was making assumptions based on the hardware differences on the computer side. I forgot that the USB hardware on the client side may be more primitive. Almost all testing that I can do with

Re: D-RATS with IC-5100
Have you ever tried a DStar Radio that has both a USB data cable and a dedicated data port? Such as the Icom 7100? I'm betting no. If you had, you would have seen the behaviour I described. This is

AI and D-Rats Conversion
I have seen some interesting stuff lately on people using AI software to write programs/scripts. One seemed to be regarding "FreeDV" digital voice (M17 is based on the same codec for UHF/VHF). A

Re: D-RATS with IC-5100
I've used an IC 5100 for several years with D-Rats. I have used both the Orange RT Systems cable and bluetooth module in the radio. Both work. I currently use bluetooth only. My mobile 4100 uses

Re: D-RATS and VARA?
I have done a bunch of searching this morning and can not find anything that tells me anything about the VARA native interface or the KISS interface. D-Rats implementation of Winlink seems to be

Re: D-RATS and VARA?
I would think that D-RATS could be enhanced to work with D-RATS but it shouldn't be done via the old school KISS interface. It would need to be done via the VARA native interface. If someone is

D-RATS and VARA?
Hello, I have seen posts of hams using D-RATS with FLDIGI modes instead of DSTAR. I have tried this with various degrees of success. It occurred to me that it may be possible to run DRATS with VARA as

Re: Hesitant to get into D-RATS

Re: Hesitant to get into D-RATS
DRATS uses several types of net linkage, including internet and RF. It does not have to speak DSTAR data. Best approach is to start with the most recent version 3.x and play with it while reading

Re: Hesitant to get into D-RATS
Hi Jack, Thank you for your reply. How do I use D-RATS without a radio? I assumed that a D-STAR radio was required. Will I be missing important functionality without a radio? Please point me in the

Re: Hesitant to get into D-RATS
John, Not at all. D-RATS has many uses aside from EMCOMM. It is independent of DSTAR or even RF if you want to use it that way. Too many ways to use it to describe here. Download it, use it, discover

Warning about wiring 9 pin / 23 pin TNC data ports, unexpected short circuit.
Hello all, In doing some research on improving the D-Rats I have discovered a hardware error which seems to be in a number of TNCs. I have found this documented (not as the hardware errata that it is)
