Re: D-RATS and fldigi
Hi Don,
Nice to see you back on D-RATS. I don't have an HF radio available just now, so I'm just doing some static testing. I picked PSK1000 and disabled the squelch in fldigi. I was receiving a bunch of random characters even without a radio connected. I made a connection from D-RATS to fldigi and saw the same random characters in the D-RATS chat window. I next sent Quick messages and QSTs to the fldigi connection and saw them being transmitted by fldigi and could hear it in my computer speakers. The next thing I did was bring SoundModem online. I was able to simultaneously send 300 bps packet on the left channel and PSK250 on the right channel. They both take about the same amount of time to send a string of data. So to answer your question, I'm not really using any mode since I don't have a radio to try it on. I will take some on air testing to determine the best mode to run under fldigi to the get the desired result. PSK250 is about the same speed as HF packet, PSK1000 is about the same speed as D-STAR low speed data of VHF packet. Any other modes seem to be slower. Some groups are using MT-63 2K long on 2 meter FM. I haven't looked at that yet. I just stumbled upon this on this past Sunday while looking at the fldigi documentation, and thought I would give it a try, and share my experience with the group. I hope someone can put it to use. Good Luck Patrick (N3TSZ) |

Re: D-RATS and fldigi
开云体育Patrick, I haven’t tried this with radios yet, but was able to make D-RATS send data to FLDIGI on TCP/7322.?? I’m getting a lot of D-RATS header data with each transmission.? For example, I typed “test3” in D-RATS chat and got the following on FLDIGI. ? [SOB]"=@=@=@=>7-=@=!~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~========[EOB][SOB]"=@=@== @*r=@=W4DTO~~~CQCQCQ~~Test3[EOB] ? Did you have a similar experience??? ? Looks like this has a ton of potential if we could get that header removed.? ? Dan W4DTO ? From:

I discovered a way to get D-RATS and fldigi to exchange data. First start fldigi. Then start D-RATS. In D-RATS, go to preferences>radio and Add a connection. Name it fldigi and select Network as the type. Set the host address to 127.0.0.1, port 7322. Click the Add button. In the list of connections, mark the Sniff and Raw text boxes. Click Save. Assuming fldigi is already set up on your computer, select the fldigi connection in the port selection box just to the left of the typing line in D-RATS. Send a Quick message, QST or type some text. Whatever you send will go to fldigi and be transmitted on your HF radio. You can watch the text in the outgoing window in fldigi. Go to your HF radio and tune in any signal. Any decoded text will go to the D-RATS chat window and appear with the [fldigi] port marker. The text will be black on a yellow background. This indicates that it is not formatted D-RATS text and just "Raw Text". There will be a short delay between the time you receive the text and when it shows up in the D-RATS window. This was just a quick hack and needs further testing. Remember to start fldigi first, as D-RATS needs to see the network connection when it starts up. The next step is to get two stations running D-RATS on HF to communicate. (You can clear the Raw text box if communicating with another D-RATS station). I hope anyone running D-RATS and fldigi on the same computer can give it a try and post their results to the group. (I am running fldigi version 3.21.81) Thanks for reading, Patrick (N3TSZ)

Re: D-Rats & GPS connection
Yes. You can configure your 2820 to send it's GPS data out it's serial port connection. Connect your radio to the serial port on your computer. Then go into D-RATS preferences>GPS and check the box for external GPS receiver and set the COM port.
The one thing you should know is that the serial port on the radio will only do one thing at a time. You have your choice of GPS OR?external low speed data (D-RATS) but not both. If you are planning on using D-RATS in the mobile, I suggest you get one of those USB GPS receivers and plug it into an unused USB port on your computer. That way you can use D-RATS on the radio and get location data into your computer for D-RATS to use. Thanks for joining the group and good luck with D-RATS Patrick (N3TSZ) |
