[drats_users] D-Rats and Hotspot

[Mike Heitmann]

If the GPS data is going through that blows my theory about the data being inverted. GPS and d-rats both use the low speed data stream, so if one works the other should too.

Is there a setting in the hotspot to select GPS vs low speed data or something similar?

Which hotspot? I bought a hotspot kit at Dayton this year but I have not assembled it yet.

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.
