[drats_users] What do I Tell my Friends??

[John Davis]

It takes a TNC or sound card interface to the 6-pin mini-DIN on the 880 operating in FM mode to use that functionality.  It does take a KISS TNC like a KPC-3+. Also keep in mind that to bridge D-RATS and packet you would configure a PC with a Ratflector with a connection to a D-STAR radio and a separate FM radio with a KISS TNC.

Kent,

I don't have a packet modem...  My radio is an ID-880H...  How do you use D-RATS as an X.25 modem program?? I do have a Tiny Trak 4 that I could plug into the radio, but I would still need some kind of soundcard software to generate the Packet Tones.

I have APRSIS on this computer....

Thanks

David, AC7DS

Can use the modem built into the Kenwood d710.

When you use DRATS with DSTAR you get mapping display. But I am not sure if you try it in FM packet mode do you get APRS support like WinAPRS or UIView.

Kent,

How do you do that??  Can you also use it for APRS?

Thanks

I am trying to get several other hams who are also in our local RACES group to give D-Rats a try. So far they continue working on getting packet up and working locally. But, are showing no interest in using D-Rats. What else can I tell the as to why they should try D-Rats?

Thanks,
