Re: D-Rats on RF has met its demise here.
Respectfully, check the emission designator for D-STAR DV. It is 6K00F7W which is 6 KHz per Icom specs. On every D-STAR transmission the baud rate (voice, data or both is 4800 bps. That doesn’t

Re: Inconsistent CQCQCQ responses
6 KHz is OK for voice on HF but not data. Check Part 97 FCC. Also there is that 300 baud limit at the moment. So no to DStar data on HF.

Not according to Dan Smith, the guy who wrote it. I have been looking at anything I can find on Drats for years now. Dan's comments go back a long time... Before he stopped working in Drats.

Apparently not per the spec. Drats uses its own protocol.

Re: D-Rats on RF has met its demise here.
Doesn’t DV data also break the transmission into packets whether radio or network? But yes, smaller packet size should improve transmission.

D-RATS will work in DD mode. It just needs to be setup as IP just as you would for going over a network. A good use would be a point-to-point application transferring files or forms between two

Re: Inconsistent CQCQCQ responses
The emission designator and bandwidth does not change for voice, data or both. It’s still 6.25 KHz.

While you can still run python2 D-Rats on Windows, We can not run python2 based D-rats on current

Yes, I discovered that yesterday that the slow speed digital data mode
is interleaved with the digital voice and has no correction.
One of my projects that I am working on is connecting a MMDVM GMSK

Re: Inconsistent CQCQCQ responses
It did! Was used on VHF/UHF there long before being used on HF.
Yes, and I don't believe data on DStar is allowed on HF. Way too wide. Voice is allowed, which is the only DStar I've ever seen on

Re: Inconsistent CQCQCQ responses
Well, 3. DD is that rare mode that's still around and has apparently confused some in documentation. The ID 1 and 9700 can use that, but it has nothing to do with D-Rats.

Take another look at the D-Star spec document you reference. I think you are confusing slow-speed (or fast mode) conncurrent voice/data D-Star with DD mode. DD mode is an entirely different

John,
Thanks for that reference. Very interesting and useful. However, it says that the slow speed data frame has no error correction at all, as a previous comment stated. I was also told this by Icom

I also have (and use with D-Rats) an 880H. I'm sure you know the settings and menu stuff is nowhere near as easy as the 5100.
ID-800H 9600 DVT = DVTAT, SPD = SPD96? ? ?....this from D-Star info. On

Well, I run it on a Win 10 laptop and a Win 11 desktop. I'm running the 3.9 Python 2 version. I used the Windows installer, which puts on Python 2 (I think). It runs on both machines reasonably well

Re: Convoluted Windows install?
This is encouraging, even if it takes awhile. We have a few knowledgeable people trying to keep D-Rats going, you being one. Thanks.
D-Rats has great value to emcomm as it is the most complete package

Two of us installed the version 0.3.10b6.dev287 yesterday, I noted no significant change in operation from any of the previous installs. I am one of the successful Tx/RX stations here (knock on wood).

Re: Python 3 D-Rats on Windows (Was: [d-rats] D-Rats on RF has met its demise here.)
It appears that you are not running D-Rats 0.3.10b6.dev287.
You appear to be running the older python2 based d-rats, which will not work with python3 very well.
The way it should work is below, but
