<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=495272123-19102008>I've placed a HOWTO
on the D-RATS wiki (<A
href="http://d-rats.danplanet.com/wiki/DPRS-Interface">http://d-rats.danplanet.com/wiki/DPRS-Interface</A>)
which explains how to connect D-RATS to DPRS Interface, developed by Pete
Loveall AE5PL. This may be of interest to D-STAR users who wish to pass
DPRS traffic to the APRS-IS in areas where there are no Internet connected
D-STAR repeaters, or alternatively wish to pass DPRS traffic received on a
simplex frequency to the APRS-IS. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=495272123-19102008>By interfacing the 2
applications DPRS traffic that is received by a D-STAR radio can be gated into
the APRS-IS network as well as be seen on the D-RATS Station Map
simultaneously.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=495272123-19102008>I've been using the
combined system over the last few days to help ascertain coverage of our local
D-STAR repeater that doesn't have an Internet connection and it has been working
quite well.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

VE2PRT for confirming the appropriate port to point D-RATS
to.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
