Hello I am James / 2e1avx / MB6JP
I have been playing with d-ats for the last month or so and love the simplicity..so far and what you can achieve with the software.
I am now looking to stretch the bounderies and have a few additional questions.
Firstly is it possible to have the repeater proxy connected to both rafflector network and a DV dongle and seemlessly pass connections both ways? I ahve been trying today but once the dongle is added everything stops working.
Secondly, I have an existing network of about 10 users on ax25 packet / IP over radio. Last night I tested the TNC / ax25 part of d-rat and got it to transmit.
Is it possible to set up a ratflector outside of the GUI, just on the command line to complement the existing ax25 / IP set up?
Can you point me in the best direction to do this and set up?
I am using a raspberry pi at the moment so want to keep it all command line and small config / space.
Thirdly, moving away from tnc / ax25 if you you ampr.og 44 addressing on radio already (old school) you could set up RATS between IP radio stations.
This would also work on the GHz wi-fi **mesh** networks and give higher speed connections.
The ability to ateway between the analogue world and digital world and be able to exchange chat and mail (maybe files if you wait a week or so hi..) is appealing to me, it would generate a lot of interest and hopefully drive the RATS project forward and combine the 2 technologies and drive the hoby to the next generation.
Sorry for the ramblings hopefully I stayed on topic, please let me know if you ahve any thoughts on this or ideas on the dongle bit?
Thanks for your help and comments
