Jim,

I went into One Drive settings by clicking the little cloud icon on the bottom right corner.? I clicked "More" and then "Settings".? I went to the "Backup" tab and selected "Manage Backup".? From there I removed my desktop as a backed-up folder on One Drive.? After I did this the D-RATS Shared folder disappeared so I made another one.? After that I was able to start D-RATS.??

Great work on updating D-rat’s ! Been testing v3.9 both Linux and Windows. It is awesome to see the the increase in users and activity.. I monitor a lot of weather information for our local Amateur radio community and have interest in providing alerts and current conditions. Many thanks for those that put in the time to get the current weather beacons available again. I have used the RSS QST options before utilizing the NWS RSS/CAP events . Is there anyway to increase the size of the RSS QST to handle the larger amount of Characters from the alert and is there anyway to allow a timed beacon of same rather than a change in status of the alert. Just adding a little to the pile! Thanks again for all that this group has done to keep D-rat’s in the front lines! 73’s Rick,N1RCW?

Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions but I still can't get D-RATS to run.
I get this error log ...

Enabled debug log

simplejson was not found. Geocoders relying on JSON parsing will not work.

FILE: C:\Users\georg\AppData\Roaming\D-RATS\d-rats.config

Creating downlaod directory: C:\Users\georg\Desktop\D-RATS Shared

WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\\Users\\georg\\Desktop\\D-RATS Shared'

---- End ----


Creating a file on the desktop called D-RATS Shared made no difference.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
George

I think that may be my problem. How do you make sure it’s not on a cloud drive?

If not, try creating one. That’s what the error messages says it’s looking for.

You also probably want to make sure the Desktop is not on a ‘cloud’ drive. I’m not sure if d-rats can handle that or not.

Glad I’m not the only one. Not enough computer skills to figure this one out. Still running the old version on my shack computer. I do have it working on my Surface Pro which is also Windows 10.
