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

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,

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?

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.
