<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>73, </DIV>
<DIV>Mike, N0SO</DIV>
