Just found out about D-RATS.? I was wondering what it can, and can't, do with RF-only; no internet.? Will it do message store-and-forward, file-transfer, chat, and ICS forms if all radios are D-STAR?? And multiple connects?? Thanks, 73
D-RATS started out as an RF only application for D-STAR radios. The network connection was added later. So yes, D-RATS can do all that stuff on RF only.

You just need a D-Star enabled radio. I have a IC-7100. Indeed, through
the D-Star data channel you can transfer anything you want.

Yes. Simply connect a D-STAR radio to a serial port on the computer running the D-RATS repeater. In the D-RATS repeater, add a serial device and specify the COM port where the radio is connected. The port speed setting must match the setting in the radio (usually 4800 or 9600). Traffic on the radio will be sent to the network and vice-versa.
