[drats_users] Drats and Dstar gateways

[Ron Wenig]

Hi Leon,

One way is to use a radio and a cable from your radio to your compter 
either serial or USB. This cable would depend on what model radio that 
you have.  You can order one pre-made or make it yourself.  You would 
set up your radio the same as the setup you use for voice contacts.  The 
UR Call would be whatever repeater you are connecting to or the id of 
the reflector you wish to connect to, the rpt1 would be what port you 
are using locally and rpt2 is the gateway that you are using.  REF015 C 
is a good reflector to use for chatting with other D-Rats users.  To set 
this up click preferences/radio add another connection.  Name - Radio, 
Type - Serial, Serial Port - what ever com port you are using on your 
pc, Baud Rate - whatever baud rate your radio supports.  On the radio 
turn off the GPS and make the PTT Auto.

You can also use the Ratflector.  In preferences/radio add another 
connection.  Name - Ratflector, Type - Network, Host Address - 
ref.d-rats.com, then click add then save.  There's usually a bunch of 
Hams on there you can chat with.

At night between 8PM and 10PM est there are a bunch of people on D-Rats 
on the K3PDR repeater port B.  Feel free to connect and join us.
