<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>Hi Bud,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is a known problem with current Linux distributions (Ubuntu and Fedora). It will be fixed the the next Beta release (0.3.3b2) which should be out shortly. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the interum, there is a work-around:</DIV>
<DIV>1. Close d-rats.</DIV>
<DIV>2. In your home directory, there should be a hidden folder named .d-rats/ (that's [dot]d-rats/).</DIV>
<DIV>3. In the .d-rats/ folder, open the file d-rats.config with a text editor. Find the [ports] section.</DIV>
<DIV>4. Copy the existing ratflector line and edit it's parameters to add your new port.</DIV>
<DIV>5. Save the new d-rats.config file</DIV>
<DIV>6. Start d-rats - your new port should be available.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'll post an example of what my [ports] section looks like when I get home this afternoon.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To be fair, this is not really a d-rats problem: The GTK and GLADE utilities d-rats uses to do all of the "windowing" have been changed. Updating Fedora or Ubuntu Linux (or using a fairly new install CD) will break the "Add a Port" function. The Windows version d-rats still uses the older GTK/GLADE utilities, so it hasn't impacted them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps get you back online!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>73,</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000>I am unable to add a port for the radio. When I enter the specs for the port and click add, nothing shows up. Nor can I edit the existing ratflector port. Same thing in 0.3.2b13. I noticed a closed trouble ticket for this (or a similar) issue, but when I click to open that ticket it won't open.</FONT></DIV>
