[drats_users] Gatting two 2820's to talk DRATS

[Rolan O. Clark]

Kent,

The below from the online manual and I assume you have the 2820 set up and the UT123 installed.  I have used d-rats for the last couple of years on my IC2200H and my ID880 and using a USB to 9 pin serial D connector and then 9 pin D connector to the data jack.

     DV DATA TX = AUTO, GPS TX = DISABLED, GPS AUTO TX = OFF, UT123 must be installed

My copies of DRATS on Windows 7 laptops works fine connected to the Ratflector. Also, I can communicate with my 92AD and 3 other 92AD's via direct RF DRATS.

 

We have a large emcom exercise coming up the end of April and want to demonstrate DRATS messaging via RF between 3 2820's.

 

So far, we have been unable to get them to receive each other. I am using the 3/32 stereo to DB9 serial cables from the data port to the PC's that have real serial ports(that work fine with 

the 92ADs). When connected, I can get DRATS to key the 2820s and they seem to send, but nothing is received that I can tell on the other 2820s, or 92ADs.

I have them set as shown below-

      IC-92AD  
     38400
     DV DATA TX = AUTO, GPS TX = DISABLED, GPS AUTO TX = OFF
     

 

I know it is something simple I have set wrong, or not yet set. So, someone that has this working, help please.

 

thanks,

Kent
