Re: Philadelphia Digital Radio Association Ratflector
The K3PDR Ratflector is not connected to a D-STAR reflector. The only radio connection available is in the Philadelphia, PA area only.

Patrick,
I am looking for a way to use my radio to connect my laptop to your ratflector instead of the internet.

Is there a reflector associated with your ratflector?

Is k3pdr.dstargateway.org linked to a reflector that can be reached from other D-Star repeaters?

Re: Lat / Lon in Weather QST
Make sure you have te minus sign infront of longitude with no space.
I manually entered my Lat / Lon on the Preferences / GPS page as?40.080970??-75.388610
The weather QST returns:? ?Current weather at Wayne - US lat: 42.23 Lon: -97.02?
That's near London, UK,not Wayne, PA US
Any suggestions?

Re: Downloading / Updating Maps
Not a subscription Don, just request an API they will send it to you in email. That is how I got mine.

Resolution: Deleted all things D-RATS, reinstalled and reconfigured. Maps working correctly now.

No problem. That’s what the group is here for, to solve operation and configuration problems. We want D-Rats to become a recognized useful tool in the Emcomm toolbox. It can only be that if everyone can get it to work. 73

Re: Downloading / Updating Maps
I know the old Maploader no longer works.? The initial setup should provide all the tiles you need for the "base" map assuming you have input your lat and long.? With regard to the other?map types (landscape, opencycle and outdoors), I believe you need a subscription with ThunderForest.com to download the tiles.? My 501 c 3 organization can't afford the steep price for an annual subscription.? It isn't clear to me why such capabilities were added with such a price.

I am running D-Rats 0.3.9 Beta 1 under Windows 8.1 64 bit and cannot figure out how to get / use the map overlays. I tried running?d-rats_mapdownloader.exe thinking that would do it, but the log shows the error message:? ?File "d-rats_mapdownloader", line 3, in <module> zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module 'gtk'
Can some one give me the steps to download and enable the maps?
Thanks,

Glen, appreciate the couple of tips you gave. Solved my issue. Only going to be using it in the event of a severe weather condition.

Glen, that did the trick, thanks. The combination of http and city
command no spaces.

We originally found here in the US that the weather QST would not
function if https:// was used.? Try it with just http://.? Also, you may need to
identify the State in your string.? Try "Philadelphia,pa,us"
instead of "Philadelphia, US"? The city command can have NO SPACES
in the line.? It should work then as long as you have obtained
your own API Key.

Hi Jim,
Actually, I deleted the D-RATS-EV folder which is in the Users\userid\AppData\Roaming folder. It contains the d-rats configuration file. When D-Rats doesn't find this file it forces you to go through the settings just as if you were a new user. Fldigi does
the same thing if something goes wrong you delete or rename the configuration file and it's like you were a new user. That got the time to count down but it won't send the QST.

Hi Vince,
Thanks for that information. I deleted the config file and re-configured and now it will count down to zero. I also changed the size to 4096 and when it counts down to zero it still doesn't send the QST. I have to get this working before the net on Monday :-)
