D-RATS Not Just for D-STAR radios Debbie Fligor, N9DN TCARC meeting 3/9/2010

Overview What is D-RATS? Why use D-RATS? What can D-RATS do? How do I setup D-RATS? Where do I get more info?

What is D-RATS? A multi-platform communications package written by Dan Smith, KK7DS, in python/GTK MS Windows (2000 or later) Mac OS X Linux Emergency Communications tool distribute data reliably Internet to RF gateway (and back again) Mapping program/position reporting system

Why use D-RATS? Works on multiple interfaces D-STAR radio Internet reflector KISS-mode TNC DV-Dongle Traffic routing Manual Automatic WinLink2000 interface

Why use D-RATS? Fairly simple interface Large number of features available (internet and RF) memos ICS & Radiogram forms Chat window File transfer

What can D-RATS do? The interface has 4 tabs and a Map window, we’ll look at them one at a time Messages Chat Files Event Log Map View

Messages Forms includes printable versions layouts can be shared (XML files) Attachments Automatic and manual forwarding Familiar inbox/outbox/sent/trash File broadcast (to all stations)

Messages

Chat Mostly like IM/texting/IRC “Ping” function to see who is online Station heard list, with mouse-over info Can see multiple interfaces at the same time This is where to find the NCS station

Chat

Files See your local files that others can connect and access Connect to other stations Upload Download

Files

Event Log See ping responses Monitor file transfers Monitor form transfers

Event Log

Map View Position tracking moving stations updated in real-time captures and sends ICOM GPS strings can add fixed points to the map distance and direction calculation Internet based free map data can use external GPS while on radio

Map View

How do I setup D- RATS? Preferences panel has almost everything “Connected to Internet” separate checkbox in the menu options tells D-RATS you can fetch and send internet (if configured)

How do I setup D- RATS?

Choosing your connection method Three methods can inter connect D-STAR radio (plug and play) DV Dongle (to other Dongle or D- STAR) Internet (needs a RF to internet repeater to inter connect) TNC only talks to another D-RATS TNC user (no AX.25 pathing, so local only)

Radio settings Disable GPS Data transmit set to on demand (not PTT) HTs need to turn off power save Simplex transfers are fastest Repeater without “gateway” next fastest need “gateway” on to talk to DV Dongle

Choosing your connection method
