If anyone is interested in, or knows of someone interested in getting started using D-RATS contact me for D-RATS training. If you have D-RATS partially configured you are welcome to join. I plan to start training?on September 11, 2014. Items needed: D-RATS Version vdaily-02232012 (Download from http://dev.d-??????????????? rats.com/drats_daily/daily-02232012/)?????? Computer with Internet connection?????? D-Star Radio Sessions One and Two will be configuring D-RATS. The training covers Instant Messaging, sending Preformatted Forms (i.e. ICS Forms/Internal Memo's etc.), sending Quick Messages, sending QST's, using Filters and File Transferrs. (One hour each) Session Three is configuring Email (SMTP/POP), and Winlink 2000 Email. A unique email address is required. I will provide the information for setting up a Winlink account. (One hour) Session Four is setting up the D-RATS Map and how to connect D-RATS to a D-Star radio. (One hour) Send an email to: Lew, KB5HPT Email: kb5hpt@...

Hi Lew... This training sounds great. How will it take place??

I'm interested in training, have been using d-rats for about a year now, not working right,
not sure if the configuration is the problem, but always eager to learn -? please sign me
up.

Hello Jim,
I am going to start a D-RATS Training course this Thursday, Sept. 11, 2014 on the AE5HE RATflector at 7 PM (MDT). There will be four sessions scheduled for one hour each. The sessions will be on Sept. 11, 25, Oct 9 and 23. Send me an email at kb5hpt@... and I will get you registered and send you some additional information about the training.
73, Lew, KB5HPT

Dangit!! Missed this training opportunity  Although I am pretty much up and running with the basics, but now attempting to get a TNC-X up and running for Winlink email with difficulties.? Looking in the chat window I do see packets come in and get decoded.? Just can't get mail out and I do have a Winlink account, using the prefix WL2K:? Has to be someting dumb. 73 ron

I have mine set up this way...
?
In preferences, select "Messages"
?
Check Allow Winlink
I use "NET" in the Winlink Connections box
In the Winlink Server box, select one of the servers (using the dropdown box), port is 8772
I use a "9" in the SSID box
?
I'm not using a RMS Server, so that box is empty
?
When your ready to send a message:
?
Select the Message tab
Select "Email"
Your call sign should be in the From box
Put the email address you are sending the message to in the To box
In the Subject line type //WL2K then the subject
Type the text of the message
?
When your ready to send the message, ? Click?Send Click on the down arrow to the right of "Send/Rcv" and select WL2K, then click on Send/Rcv. ? The message should go.? ? Suggest sending a message from your landline computer to your?Winlink address before you start.? If all goes well, the message should be in your "in Box" after the send/rcv function
?I've probably forgotten something, but this works for me ? Rusty K1GGS

Thanks Rusty.? No soap ? The one thing that gave me some hope here was the "WL2K" pick, followed by Send -- which was not exactly what I was doing.? Whe I tried this, there was no indication of a transmission. Although again, if I go to Chat, dial to dead space, and do a chat/send then PTT goes on, RED light so I think some stuff is working.? Incidentally, I did confirm that I can send/rec via D-Rats on a landline.?? Of note, when I fire up D-Rats I do get a short RED light (transmission), when I close the app, also get a short transmission. I think that's how D-Rats works so that may be a good sign.? Hmmm,? the one thing that I am now wondering about is "reach", that Winlink station is pretty far from me.? I don't know what the actual Winlink Telnet protocol is, I'm wondering if D-Rats has to "hear" the staiion your tuned to before it trys to connect?? Maybe I need to give this a try at elevation, which I could do. Oh!? I am running on a Mac to make things more challenging. ron

The instructions I gave you require a Internet connection, and the connections are directly?via?the Interned.? I'm not sure how it would work via RF.? What radio are you trying to connect to?? I've only tried the chat via the Internet, as?data transmissions are sort of frowned on the local RF system.? Who are you trying to chat with via the Radio?? ? Rusty ?

I'm somewhat surprised the local Dstar repeater frowns on data transmissions... that's part of what makes Dstar powerful and there are even dedicated data REFLECTORS! Look at and search for "data". You connect to these data refectors just like you would any other Dstar reflector but once connected, you use the Dstar radio's computer connection via say D-RATs, etc.
Btw, D-Rats on RF works pretty well. Since data over Dstar doesn't have any standard per se, D-Rats created it's own protocol if you will over it. That same protocol is also used over AGW/PE packet if you want to use it that way. One thing I really like about D-Rats is you can be connected to the Internet RAT flector, and have a working connection on RF, and Packet and in the chat window, select which link your messages will go over.

Ah!? OK, via Internet....Ya, I got that working just fine.
My main objective is to get RF/Winlink email working
when I am remote -- e.g. no cell coverage etc.? Ya, I
should be doing this via HF, but that's next.? The rig I
have that has the TNC-X connected to it is a ICOM 880H
2M/70CM.

There is NO D-rats, 5100 style pix or text messaging going on.??The Papa system is quite busy at times, so trying to get any data thru would cause issues.? I hope that with the addition of the 5100 and the 51A Anniversary radios, their might be some additional interest.? I am using DRATS?on the internet (3 RAT reflectors), and am monitoring the Papa system, but am only getting position reports from the RF.? I have been on several of the reflectors with my DVAP and monitored for DRATS traffic.? I was also?involved with the testing of PIX from the 5100 radios. ? I think DRATS provides a great way to pass messages in an emergency?(or anytime).? I plan to hook it?up to my 880 and put that on the local VHF Packet frequency and see if?how it works.? The local VHF ARES groups use Outpost for their Packet client, and I doubt any of they will want to change.? I?just sold the County EC a 80AD and a ID31A, which?he is trying to find time to set up.? ? I hope that DRATS and the new message capabilities that ICOM is coming out with will be compatible.? ?

I assume that because you have the TNC X connected to the 880 that you are trying to connect to a RMS Packet station?via VHF=FM.? Am I correct? ?

Did more testing..but before I get into that I will open up
a new topic on the subject as this one is about Training,
not debugging a D-rats problem.
