> I just performed D-RATS with the DV Dongle. Here is what you have to do to get it to work.<br>
> <br>
> Make sure you have the Latest DV Tools Beta software and make sure you have the latest D-RATS software.<br>
> <br>
> You must perform the port changes below in order for it to work.<br>
> <br>
> 1) First bring up the DV Tools for the Dongle and open and connect
to reflector 015 C for D-RATS Only. No voice is allowed on Reflector
015 C. It is for D-RATS Only.<br>
> <br>
> 2) Open the latest version of D-RATS. Click File and then Click
preferences. Click Radio,uncheck your normal port for D-RATS and at the
bottom of the screen, click add. A new add box comes up with Name and
Type. Next to name, Type in DONGLE and in the box below it shouls say
serial. Click the arrow at the end of the box and dongle will be at the
bottom. Click dongle and at the bottom of the box click ADD.<br>
> <br>
> 3) The Port config box shows back up with your new port named
DONGLE. Check the enable box next to DONGLE and chech the sniff box to
the right of DONGLE but leave the raw text box UNCHECKED. Then Click
SAVE at the bottom of the page.<br>
> <br>
> 4) On your D-RATS page, click the chat tab and enter a chat
message and you can now perform D-RATS just as you did on the RF Radios.<br>
> ******************************<div class="im">*************************************<br>
> Do not try to enter text on the Data tab on the Dongle DV tools while connected to D-RATS or it will crash DV Tools.<br>
> <br>
> If you need to go back and use RF D-RATS just go back in the
D-RATS Config box and uncheck DONGLE and enable your normal port and
click save and your ready. Thats it. Good luck and have fun.<br>
> <br>
> If you try to use the data only on the DV Tools software, Most of
the time only DV Dongle users can see it. Some time even RF users can
see it but RF users can not chat back with you. You will have to
perform the task above to get the D-RATS to work with DV Dongle. <br>
