Thanks guys for the help!
I would really like to set up a sched with you.
I am usually on in the evening around 01:30UTC. I will monitor the REF015C
this evening for any data stream.
Thanks for the tip Mike on the TX message; I will work on that part too.
Thanks again guys.

Hi Dan,
We met very briefly during the Dayton Hamfest. My question at that time was
if I have to load any 'special' program unto our local D-Star
repeater/gateway in order for D-rats to work. You told me that was not
required due to the fact that we are using part of the DV data stream for
D-Rats.
I got home and connected my IC-80AD to my serial port of my notebook (using
a PCMCIA/Serial adaptor). When I ask the PC to Ping All Stations, it will
actually transmit, but I don't see any stations coming back.
When I connect to REF001C, I can see some raw data coming in.
My question is:
How do I go about this. Do I have to connect our local repeater to a
reflector in order for me to 'see' other stations on my screen (and be able
to chat with them) or is there another procedure?
Since I am the only D-star user here (maybe throughout the entire
Caribbean), I don't have no one to turn to for help.
Thanks for your time and patience,
73 de Brett, PJ2BR

Hi Brett:
A couple of things to check.
1. GPS settings are turned off
2. Baud rate is at 38400
The symptoms you describe I saw when I first got started with RF.
Good Luck

Almost undoubtedly the reason for this is that there are no D-RATS users
on that reflector. Probably the best thing to do would be to arrange
with someone else to meet on REF015C to do some practice. If you hop
onto the ratflector and ask I'm sure someone will help you with a test.
If not, maybe you can arrange a test with someone here on the list.

If you don't have any data users on your local repeater, then yes, the
best way is to connect to a reflector where there are.
Good luck!

Hi Brett,
If you can link your repeater gateway to REF015C, I'd be happy to set up
a schedule with you to QSO using d-rats on REF015C.
If you have two D-STAR radios and two computers, you can also experiment
on a simplex frequency, or through your local repeater.
Operating tip: When running d-rats on our local repeater, I usually
change the TX message on the radio to send "Mike - running D-RATS". I
will also talk periodically and announce "N0SO running D-RATS" on voice.
I do this to be considerate of local voice users - and in the hope of
drumming up more interest in D-RATS locally!
Please feel free to add ratf.n0so.net port 9000 as a network port. It's
lightly used, but I have a d-rats client setup there with a small file
repository, including a guest log that you can download, add your
information to, then re-upload to my system.
73,
Mike, N0SO
