Thanks. I am holding out hope that some tech guy who does web sites is also a D-Rats fan and knows how to do this stuff. WinLink seems to have a political action group that converted a bunch o the Red Cross forms for FLDigi as well as designing really nice ARC forms with the logo, etc. It's all window dressing to appeal to Red Cross, which has certainly worked so far. Although their current national exercise (Nov 14) uses A LOT of Telnet, which is a real head scratcher for emcomm. If the internet is working on both ends, just use email...no need for ham radio.?

It does indeed work over the USB cable. We have a D-Rats group weekly and have a member with a 9700 who has it working. D-Rats just uses a serial connection. I am not absolutely familiar with how te 9700 works, but do have a serial to D-Rats connection on both bluetooth (5100) and USB (7100). Usually either creates 2 comm ports, the first one is for CI V, the second is for serial data. Use the second.

Re: Changes in QST Openweather Lat: and Lon:
You should only need to put the City,fl,us in the QST box.? Do not include the coordinates.? The program should be picking that up from your station location coordinates that you set up under Preferences in the GPS tab.? At least it works that way for me.? I am located in Slidell, LA but there are more than one Slidell in the country.? It manages to find the right one.

Changes in QST Openweather Lat: and Lon:
Before the recent Hurricane, I decided to do a QST weather display in D-Rats.
In the QST edit box labeled D-rats.exe
Openweather is chosen
current is chosen
Brooksville,FL,US? lat :28.48 lon: -82.47 is entered
But, Current weather at Brooksville - US lat: 38.68 Lon: -84.07 is displayed, along with their current weather conditions.
lat: 38.68 Lon: -84.07 being South Willow Street, Brooksville, Bracken County, Kentucky, 41004, USA ( lat: 38.690869 Lon: -84.072854 )
What am I missing? I've followed
But it still changes the Lat: and Lon: yet it is displayed properly in the QST lower window.
?
Thank you,?for any assistance you can offer.

One thing that gave me fits with getting D-RATS working was that
fact that you must use either an OPC-2350LU Icom cable or one of
the RT Systems RTS05 cables to pass data.? The cable runs between
your PC and the data jack on the back of the IC-9700.? Using just
the regular USB cable will not work.

i misunderstood your email, actually just read it to fast.
hope you get it figured out.

I saw that page but it is for DSTAR . Remember I m looking for D Rats. FOr example GPS off? Baud rate? etc. I was looking for files on this group and I found a document? configuration for specific radios on how to setup D Rats
|
Try the information from this webpage:
I have an ID-4100 and could not get it figured out until I read the above page.? The key, for my situation, was adding the "G" address in the RPT 2 field.? Once I did that and connected to an internet connected gateway, my location popped up on APRS.fi!

Refer to page 10-22 of the IC-9700 Advanced Manual.

Re: Concatenation of addresses in D-Rats
This is an old thread but in our group in PA we can't get D-Rats to send email to more than one address using any punctuation. It doesn't work using the D-Rats email client directly...no RF...either. Only sends to the first address.

I am just trying to get the current one working with supported libraries, preferably from signed packages. And hopefully along the way I can get the protocols and maybe some other features documented. I only have a minor update to my Wiki this week. Not yet in the Wiki is that I have succeeded in getting the Ratflector to start up using the newer GTK-3 libraries and Python 3. The ratflector started up OK with Python 2 and GTK-3, but when I ran it under Python3, it found a whole bunch more changes were needed to get the log clean. Have not had time to test it as I need to update all the d-rats modules to GTK-3, and that looks like it will be a lot of work. A lot of things have changed from the old pygtk2 that d-rats was written for and GTK-3. Regards, -John WB8TYW

Re: Minor progress on D-rats
If anyone is digging into the code here- it might be good to look at state of the radio art emergency management apps.? I’m not talking about Winlink.? The Cajun Navy Relief team uses this one for rescue dispatch: ?
