Re: D_RATS on Pi keep alive
I remember reading a suggestion to send out a GPS-A position report about every 10 to 20 minutes to keep the station from being timed out. There is a setting on the D-Rats client side, not the ratflector, that purges station names from the active list at 60 minute intervals if no activity is seen coming from the station. I am not sure if this has anything to do with it, but it certainly won’t hurt to do it. I run a station client along with the StTammany ratflector as a Mail drop and file server and I sometimes see that it drops out. This could be caused by electrical glitches from storm activity, or due to induced errors like a station dropping offline during a file transfer. Often the repeater stays running but the client side shuts down. I try to check the status of the station at least once or twice a day. This station is running on a Pi-3b.

D_RATS on Pi keep alive
I have 2 local hams running a recently released image with D-RATS on it, they are both experiencing disconnect from the rat on what seems to a time setting. The only way to wake it back up is to ping twice then it will connect to the rat and go on till the next "TIME OUT" . We have already reset the wlan0 to not timeout, we have disabled the screen time out in the Pi, I have even tried port forwarding 9000 on one of them thinking that would keep the connection alive. What else is there to cause a timeout? Internet connection is available as normal, so what would cause D-RATS to disconnect???

Re: \QST\ entry in IgnoreRegEx causes errors
Your Ignore RegEx line should look like this: \[QST]|CQCQCQ\: Patrick (N3TSZ)

Re: \QST\ entry in IgnoreRegEx causes errors
Something else to consider along this thread, there are times when QSTs are necessary and useful, but you just don't want the [QST] and beacon messages clogging up the main chat window.? That is where the filters come in handy.? For example, I post Tropical Weather Updates and Hurricane Reports as QST file dumps when we have storms of concern to the Continental US.? This information is pulled directly from the National Weather Service.? To a station in an affected area that may not have access to this information, being able to receive information about a storm intensifying or changing direction could be important.? Having the program ignore the [QST] transmissions completely could result in you missing something important.? The CQCQCQ messages are different as the transmission is caused by corrupted information or the transmitting station not having the GPS information on their radio still running while they are running D-Rats through the radio.? There is no interest in seeing corrupted data.? On another issue, I have never used the backslashes on the command lines and the program still changes messages with my callsign to the proper color and seems to affect the CQCQCQ messages by fading them out.

Re: D-RATS 0.3.9 on Linux Mint 20 - Python Dependency Issue
Uhhhh...no.? While I really appreciate your effort to navigate this minefield, this is such a kludge to install it this way that I think I'll wait until the developer (team) switches to Python3.? I like d-rats...and intend to use it for our net here in Sun City Center, but not in this state.? I'll just keep an old laptop around with an older version of d-rats on ubuntu/mint until d-rats gets a new engine.??
Thanks, though... Keith/KI5US |

K3PDR Ratflector mail
To all users of the Philadelphia Digital Radio Association (K3PDR) Ratflector. I recently discovered that K3PDR-1 was not forwarding mail via the internet. I have since updated the Gmail account associated with K3PDR-1 an is now operating properly. K3PDR-1 can not connect to a WL2K telnet server. However you may address mail to callsign@...,?as it is an internet based mail server.

Re: \QST\ entry in IgnoreRegEx causes errors
The best way to keep QSTs from filling up the main Chat window is to create a filter with [QST] as the filter string. I place CQCQCQ in the ignore line in Prefferences and also create a second filter with the same string. The string \QST\ will never show up and would be useless since the program uses brackets and not back slashes at the beginning of every [QST] message.

Re: \QST\ entry in IgnoreRegEx causes errors
Your syntax is incorrect. You want to recognize [QST], as someone might type QST in a message. On the Ignore RegEx line type \[QST]. (The [ character has a meaning in Regular Expressions, so to make it a printable character, it must be "escaped" by preceding it with a \ character.) Another instance worth noting is when incoming messages have a checksum error. Usually, they are not displayed, but occasionally they are. These corrupted messages always begin with CQCQCQ:. The : character also has a function in?Regular Expressions, so it must be escaped also. Enter CQCQCQ\: on the?Ignore RegEx line. You may have multiple items on the?Ignore RegEx line by joining them with the vertical bar character. It acts as a logical OR. \[QST]|CQCQCQ\: Anything matching the?Ignore RegEx also suppresses the Chat Activity Sound. While you are in the appearance window, you may as well enter your callsign, followed by (?i) to the Notice RegEx line. KC6AUP(?i) for example. This will change any text containing your callsign, in upper or lower case text, to the Notice color. Save and exit Now you can add filters to the Chat screen. Add a filter each for [QST] and CQCQCQ: To make your Chat window even quieter, go to the Chat settings and clear the "Show status updates in chat" check box. Patrick (N3TSZ)
