Local Mesh Usage > Hostname - Repeater

 

Hi:
This setup for a D-Rats repeater working within AREDN mesh.? IP seems to connect under Preferences > Radio BUT If I try a non TLD domain like COA, Distribution without (.com, .org or regular extensions) connection is not possible.? Any work-around or idea for this specific use?? ?I have already setup and working (within AREDN local mesh) Linux applications like MatterMost, TeamTalk using a single word hostname (no extension).

Will appreciate any tip!

Re: How to setup and start D-Rats repeater raspberry

 

Hi Again:
Bingo!!? Well now listening 9000 and was able to connect from another machine (Windows).? The proper way to invoke was:

python d-rats_repeater.py -C

Anyway, will appreciate reference to repeater info and commands.??

Hi All:
New to D-Rats here. I installed a HAMPI 3.01 image into a raspberry PI 4. I have setup the D-rats client into Windows 10 no problem so far.

My main interest is to run a Repeater from Raspberry Pi 4.? But I am lost how to start the repeater.? Have some question:

1-? Repeater and client have to be running at same time. I mean at the pi4.
2-? Which files are specific for repeater configuration

My interest is to setup D-Rats to work within ARDEN mesh mostly EMCOMM.? ??

Any other tip will be highly appreciated.? I run Ubuntu and have some experience with raspberry.??

Re: How to setup and start D-Rats repeater raspberry

 

Hi:

Just want to share I have tried both? raspberry pi 3b and raspberry 4b.? Also tried various versions of HAMPI.? Last one tested 1.1 but netstat -lptn shows no listening.? I am sure there must be a config issue. Unfortunately no much information on the Internet about how to setup?D-Rats repeater (linus or raspberry).? Any link or pointer will be highly?appreciated.?

Will keep looking.?

Re: Sending email from d-rats

 

For Winlink emails, you need a Winlink account. It's the only way to get a password that you will put in the Message parameters.
For regular emails I tried three email servers. Yahoo, Google, and my local Freenet. Nothing works. I suspect that the TLS/SSL parameters need to be upgraded by the developers.

Re: Sending email from d-rats

 

You may need to check which outgoing mail service you are using.? Google started flagging email connections from D-Rats as an unsecure email client and won't accept messages unless you went in and turned the feature off in your Google account.? Now they just don't care and keep resetting it to block all traffic coming from D-Rats into a gmail.com account.? I switched over to an outlook mail account to try to correct the issue.

Winlink only seems to work if you have a telnet (Internet) connection on your computer.? Make sure your settings and password to Winlink are set correctly.

Re: Sending email from d-rats

 

John,

I have been working through similar issues, but found this document very useful and now have D-RATS talking back and forth to the CMS of Winlink with no issues.


I am still working on using the SMTP/POP capability as I would like to "connect" with the local RMS Relay (that I run in-house) for times when the internet goes down.

But to use when working directly to the Winlink CMS, this document will help a great deal.

Re: Winlink e-mail from my mobile through my base station?

 

Jack and all,

When you refer to the "server side of Winlink" are you suggesting that RMS Packet or one of the other components could pick up the messages and deal with them appropriately?

Our club bought into D-STAR several years?ago for EmCOmm purposes and I am heavily?into using Winlink for our club and would love to be able to bring in the digital side of D-STAR thru D-RATS and into Winlink. I have tried many of the configurations within D-RATS, but struggled to get it working properly. I do run a local Winlink RMS system running RMS Packet and RMS Relay, but cannot yet understand how to set up D-RATS to "talk" to that system.

I know that on the?Winlink website they also talk about D-STAR as one of the transports of?data,?but I?never see any configuration info.

Has anyone done this successfully?

This would mean my mobile/portable/field operators running D-RATS could use the D-STAR radios we spent lots of money on and still link into Winlink systems.

We also have a D-STAR repeater which would get so much more use if I could get this working.

So if my base is connected to the internet, and base radio, running the repeater software, it won’t pass the message to winlink from my mobile?

Thanks all,

I've managed to connect to a couple of the ratflectors, and downloaded the list of D-Star and Rats nets, although some of them are well into the early hours of the morning over here.

KA5MYE sent me an email through D-Rats and I've pinged one station as well. I saw the chat message from Jack (KD4IZ) as well.

I've managed to connect to a few of the listed ratflectors, including the Alabama and Washington ones. The ones that fail, so far, are Netherlands, Worldwide (which I think was the default), Sweden and VE6DV.

I tried a few chat messages asking if anyone could confirm that I was connected, but no replies so far, but maybe nobody is watching at the moment?

Hi John, thanks for the reply. I hadn't set up the connection. I was confused by the section "Radio" and I didn't realise it was for connecting to a ratflector as well...

I'll try a couple of the listed ratflectors in 'add a port' and see if I can find one that I can connect to.? Appologies if I barge in on a network, I'll try to only see if I can connect.

You may be trying to connect to the default ref.d-rats.com rsatflector which is no longer in use. Check for a list of working ratflectors at dstarinfo.com.

?

If you are running OneDrive, read the instructions on dstarinfo.com for D-RATS. One drive “hijacks” the Desktop folder to a different location under c:\Users.? The instructions will correct the issue with the error during first time setup.
