Dan:
- Installed 0.3.2b5 and then tried the WL2K connection to your station on
the Ratflector. Right clicked on KK7DS, choose WL2K, and a test email I had
sent to my WL2K email was received. So can confirm this aspect works.
- Had my D-Rats set up with a callsign suffix of -1 and WL2K of -10. To do
the above I changed the -1 to match the WL2K of -10...but is there a way I
could keep my -1 suffix for D-Rats and -10 for WL2K and still receive and
send WL2K email via D-Rats? Thanks.
