[drats_users] D-Rats and Hotspot

[Dave Thomas]

Hi All, I want to pass d-rats through my hotspot, I have configured the network, the Hotspot software is on a different PC to D-Rats.

Here’s my dilemma, when I send the message the HT radio (monitoring the hotspot) receives a TX Blip similar to if I were hard wired to the radio as a port, so I know it’s going somewhere. I have another radio (mobile) connected to the same Gateway via a different node, this also gets the TX Blip but no text appears, same in the reverse. 

Neither station can ping the other.

My hotspot uses DPRS and this works fine, I see my node and mobile stations on aprs.fi , in D-rats the network address is correct (an internal network IP), the port 20003 is correct.

If I place the Mobile radio on the simplex frequency of the node (the same as the HT) the message pops up when sent. But I guess this is then direct not through the gateway or hotspot software.

When my hotspot sends my periodic station position to Aprs.fi the map feature shows it up in D-Rats mapping and my hotspot shows up in the stations list to the right of the chat window.

What am I doing wrong, it’s baffling me?
