D-RATS and AGWPE
|
I was able to do a D-RATS to D-RATS connection today using AGWPE as the radio port. Worked fairly well. Now, I am trying to add the AGWPE definition to the D-RATS repeater app. I have it set up in the repeater app exactly as I did in D-RATS initially. I have D-RATS set to connect to the repeater. AGWPE is listening on port 8000. D-RATS is listening on 9010.
With AGWPE defined this way the repeater app doesn't appear to start. D-RATS cannot connect to it. And, telnetting to it from a command prompt on port 9010 doesn't show it attempting a connection. If I delete the AGWPE setup from the repeater app and restart everything D-RATS connects to the repeater app. But, with AGWPE defined it will not connect. Any ideas why? Has anyone done this? I'm running the latest daily build of D-RATS. Thanks! Dan W4DTO |

I have a little more info on this. I found the D-RATS repeater's log file (C:\D-RATS\repeater.log). This is what happens when I add AGWPE to the repeater app.
C:\Program Files\D-RATS\library.zip\d_rats\config.py:224: GtkW ton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecat Changed to Serial Changed to AGWPE Repeater id is Pld-ARES Socket gwinnettares.dyndns.org 9000 () Host does not require authentication Serial: COM42 9600 Software XON/XOFF control initialized Traceback (most recent call last): File "d-rats_repeater", line 737, in button_on File "d-rats_repeater", line 407, in add_outgoing_paths ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' Stopping If I remove the AGWPE definition and restart the app this does not happen. Possible bug? I'm running D-RATS daily-02232012. |

I'm not aware of anyone using the D-RATS repeater and AGWPE together, so I think you are in uncharted territory. One thing I did notice is the high numbered comm port. In the past, users have reported erratic behavior of D-RATS when the comm port number was large, and setting it to a lower number (below 5) improved stability. I don't know if that will address your issue, but it couldn't hurt. Please keep the group updated with your progress. Thanks, Patrick (N3TSZ) --- In d-rats_group@..., "dtozment" <dan@...> wrote:

开云体育Thanks for the tip, Patrick!?? The COM42 device is actually my USB cable for the 2820.??? I removed it earlier when I was trying this and only had the AGWPE interface defined.?? I wasn't able to make it work without the COM42 definition.?? COM42 was in my post because I added it back before I found the repeater.log.?? Based on that I don't think the COM port changed anything.? ? The goal here, by the way, is to create a local ratflector that can be accessed by users of both D-STAR and non-D-STAR radios as wells as users who have internet access.?? |

Check out the "D-RATS and Pac-Link" file for more info about setting up AGWPE. I think you may have better luck with A hardware TNC. Look at "D-RATS and Packet radio" if you have access to a KISS TNC. Also try putting the TNC in transparent mode(aka ASCII or modem mode) and tell D-RATS it's a D-STAR radio. That may overcome some of the drawbacks of KISS mode. I think it should work, but I don't have TNCs to try it myself. Good luck in all things, Patrick (N3TSZ) --- In d-rats_group@..., "Dan Ozment" <dan@...> wrote:

开云体育Thanks, Patrick.? ??I've got the file and will take a look.?? I have access to a KISS TNC.? We actually tried to set it up on the repeater yesterday, but had the same problem.? I did not try the TNC connected directly to D-RATS.??? We will give that a try. ? Since D-RATS and AGWPE work but the repeater and AGWPE don't I wonder if there is something wrong with the repeater app.?? I will give D-RATS and the TNC a try. ? Dan W4DTO ? From: d-rats_group@...
