Is there a way to set up D-Rats to recognize the GPS on my I-Com 2820, through the computer serial port?

Hi Duff, This is a link to the latest daily build for MAC OS:
I believe you must install X windows on your computer if it is not already present. (I'm not a MAC expert). Also run the runtime file included in the .zip file. It installs files needed for Python to run. Good luck and 73, Patrick (N3TSZ)

Is there ever going to be an update to the Mac version to bring it up to the same level as the Windows version?
Thanks,
Duffy www.wb8nut.com

experienced D-STAR users. The three-hour class will again be held at the Drury
Inn at 6616 Miller Lane in the heart of hotel row near Hamvention.? This year’s topics will include using DR
Mode, using a Raspberry Pi with your DVAP, updating Repeater Lists for DR Mode,
using D-RATS for data and much more. ?The
new Icom ID-5100A will be demonstrated. ?All
registered class participants are eligible to win an ID-51A dual-band D-STAR
handheld to be given away during the class.
The cost of the class is $15.00 and includes all course

my debian 7 does not work with winlink and low and behold my 64bit windows 8 does not work with winlink.
So is there really a fix? I tried saving the lzhuf1.exe file to my program files(x86) setup n still get the failure.
can it be fixed in 2014?

I think two situations might be acceptable.? If a repeater is equipped with two modules (VHF/UHF), linking one to D during an event (Skywarn, parade, etc) might
be acceptable, but not long term.? For a single module repeater, if a time was designated for a D-RATS Net, that might be acceptable.? Remember, you can always link a DVAP to REF030D.

Just a thought as to whether or not the repeater owener/admins would consider it acceptable to link to ?REF030D for DRATS.
?
As you know I’m in DSTAR no-man’s land over in Paulding.? If I stand on one foot and hold a glass of water in one hand I can sometimes
hit the W4DOC or WX4GPB repeater.?? Two glasses of water and I might get BTI.

That might be touchy for one of the wide coverage repeaters in the Atlanta area, but I have already done that on WD4STR C in Lawrenceville.?
I’m guessing you would want one you could hit for testing.

John, I’ve asked this before, but don’t remember the answer.? Would it be acceptable to link one of the VHF or UHF repeaters to REF030D
for a period of time to test D-RATS over RF????? Or, is that frowned upon?

You are welcome to use REF030D for D-RATS.? That is our preferred reflector module for data in Georgia.? You will usually find some

Re: QST CAP and RSS feed.
Here are a few I have used with varying degrees of success. The RSS and CAP messages seem to be truncated after a certain amount of characters.
I hope you have better luck than I did.

Re: radio to radio operation
Turn off the power save feature in both of the radios. Go to D-RATS preferences and make these changes: Under Transfers, enable "Remote File Transfers". Set Warmup Length to 16. Set Warmup Timeout to 0. Good luck!

Re: radio to radio operation
Hello All:
Thanks to the helpful responses, I now have the 91AD and 92AD working as the radio part of a Drats node. As some folks had noted, baud rate was the issue and at 38K baud both HT Dstar radios connect and pass Drats RF traffic.
I note that some chat and ping messages received by the radios at 38K baud seem to get lost or dropped on the Drats computer screen, and I suspect that at this serial I/O baud rate, the XON/XOFF flow control protocol is loosing effectivity, allowing buffer overflows and lost serial characters. Anybody observing similar packet loss on 91AD 0r 92AD radios?
Thanks, -- Jeff Marden KB1TJI.

I have been trying to get a QST message using the CAP feed working with no luck so far.? Has anyone got a CAP feed message working they would share as an example?? An RSS example too?
I have been able to get QST messages GPS, Weather underground, and text working.

Mike - AJ4NR

Re: radio to radio operation
Jeff,It sounds to me as if you are running two computers each with their own radio in the same room. Here are a few suggestions: Uncheck the raw text box as it is not needed with D-RATS to D-RATS stations. Check the port speeds. Most D-STAR radios default to 9600bps. The ID-91 and 92 are 38400bps and the ID-1 is 19200bps. Are your radios in "low speed data" mode? Do both instances of D-RATS have the same callsign? They must be unique. Add a suffix of -1 to one of the callsigns. If you are using USB cables, try manually changing the COM port to the lowest number available. These are a few common issues I see with new users. I hope this was helpful. Patrick (N3TSZ)
