Ratflectors and keepalives.

My work-around for that is to send a QST containing a GPS report every ten minutes. It keeps your connection alive, keeps your callsign on the station list, and doesn't print in the chat screen. Please help reduce Ratflector pollution. ? Patrick (N3TSZ) From: "'John E. Malmberg' wb8tyw@... [d-rats_group]" To: d-rats_group@...

terminate idle sessions. The proper solution is a a keep-alive packet that would be sent between d-rats and the ratflector, but that the ratflector would not then relay. Is anyone working on getting this into the d-rats client and ratflector code? Regards, -John |

Hello All,
A while back I noticed that in the preferences the section that activated the UTC rather than Local time would not function even when checked. Could there be a section of code missing? Also is there any way to disable sounds when 'pings' are sent/received. Maybe also have sound files other than the ones that come with the computer - for D-Rats. Just a thought. -- ** -- "Support Personnel are as Important as Rescuers at a Mission" Ralph A Brigham NSS 22048RL KG4CSQ 1671 Ft Campbell Blvd The Residences Apt #Y5 Clarksville TN 37042-3542 (931) 906-9277 --***-- |

Hi Ralph, I don't have an answer for you about the clock, but I can help you with the second item. How to cure Ratflector fatigue: 1. Open the Config window (ALT+P). 2. Go to Appearance and type \[QST\] on the Ignore RegEx line. 3. Go to Chat and clear the "Show status updates in chat" check box. 4. Click Save to close the Config window. 5. On the Chat tab, click Add Filter on the toolbar and type [QST], click OK. 6. Enjoy using D-RATS. ? Patrick (N3TSZ) From: "'Ralph Brigham' ralph.alden.brigham@... [d-rats_group]" To: d-rats_group@...
