<DIV>Mike,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks much for the input and the reply. I’ll so some more testing,
that was a quick one time test and yes, good idea on the voice announcements so
others will know what is happening. What I don’t know is if digi stuff I
am sending is longer than my voice message how does someone listening know there
is still data being sent if they don’t look at the s-meter or wait until a
scroll announces the digi data is finished and then the repeater stops
transmitting ?? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We’ll find out but any input is always welcome,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take care,</DIV>

<DIV>Hi Roland,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You should be able to send chat text while talking. I always announce
myself when running D-RATS through our local repeater just to prevent annoying
the voice users with the constant "kerchunking" (for lack of a better
term) of the repeater when D-RATS sends data. I also change the radio message to
read something like "Mike on D-RATS" to give a better idea of what is going on
to anyone monitoring.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That said, I haven't tried it in a while, or with the latest version of
D-RATS.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would not expect D-RATS to be able to transfer a file or a message of any
size over an RF channel while talking on the same radio, or while another QSO is
in progress on the same frequency. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Mike, N0SO</DIV>
