RS-MS1IA and D-Rats


 

Are there any functions in the RS-MS1IA app that work with D-Rats? Text? Picture Sharing? Others?

Thanks!?

The RS-MS1 uses an Icom specific protocol for picture exchange and just decodes the DPRS data to put it on a map.
D-Rats uses its own protocol to forward data over plain data links. That means that, even if it works over d-star, it does not need d-star specifically: any transparent data transport actually works if supported by the client (e.g. ax25).
So, for d-rats, you need to set the icom transceiver to support data transfers (both fast and slow data will work) and feed the d-rats data to the trcv itself from a d-rats client software.

The RS-MS1 has nothing to do with it.

I have found text chat from MS1A (or i) is readable in the D-Rats chat window. However, chat in D-Rats does not decode on the app (Android, at least). So it's one-way, Android to D-rats in chat only.?


 

Further info.... Chat from phone app to DRats is visible when RAW Text is checked. Today I exchanged email with Ray Novak at Icom and it looks as though he is going to request an update to RSMS1 app to have its own raw text mode so some form of uncorrected text can exchange with Drats allowing mobile phone only users to communicate via Text with PC running Drats. We shall see what happens. You have to respect Icom for listening to our community.?
