[drats_users] D-Rats v0.2.5 Latest Version Testing

[Dennis Rogers]

*Ok on all that i'll keep testing and am trying right now the pipelining off
on a 70kB image
that has been resized to 1024x768 just for a real test. Oh, I have power
save off and all that.
We all saw this yellow background on v0.2.0-0.2.4 during the hurricane. Keep
up the good
work. Since I do not know the specs on Dstar data transfers and all its hard
to decide what you
are testing for, but you do have nice code and readable, too.
