[drats_users] D-RATS slow speed data and DVAR HotSpot

[Mark Phillips]

Indeed it does work!

Thanks for your efforts Mark!

At the risk of teaching those reading how to suck eggs one must do the 
follow to get it to work;

1) In DVAR Hot Spot select Edit > Slow Speed Callsigns and setup to your 
requirements

2) In D-RATS select File > Preferences > Radio.

3) Click the "Add" button. Enter the name of this port (I call mine DVAR 
Hot Spot - duh).

4) Select "Network" from the "Type" drop down menu.

5) Enter the IP address of the machine running the Hot Spot app. If this 
is the same machine as the D-RATS app enter 127.0.0.1.

6) Change the "Port" number to 20003.

7) Leave the password blank.

8) Click the "Add" button.

9) Click the "Save" button.

10) Have yourself a nice hot cup of Brownian Motion Inducer.

I have my setup blatting weather data across the shack from my 
"production" system to my "test" system and back quite happily.
