Paul,
I guess a couple of things I would look at first:
1. Can you transmit from the dongle using the PTT button?
Assuming this is a yes go to the next step
2. Look in your preferences and insure that you have selected only the 
dongle. If you are getting the kickback from the ratflector you are 
connected to more than one path. You can do this but when you transmit 
from D-RATS you have to tell it which path to take (either the 
ratflector or the dongle) This applies to all D-RATS transmissions. If 
you select a ping you need to tell it where to ping. Either the 
ratflector or the dongle or whatever else has been selected in the radio 
preferences box.

Let us know what you find.

P.S. I always make sure that "Raw Text" is turned on so I can see all of 
the traffic I am receiving. It will also tell you from what path the 
traffic came from as well.
