<DIV>Very good. I believe both should run, but most especially if you run the repeater without the GUI, the RPi should work very well as a portable ratflector.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You might give running from the source a try. Then you don't have to mess with the apt repo (except to get pyserial and a few other things d-rats will need). Just download, untar it to a folder in your home directory, cd to that directory and, from a terminal window, enter:</DIV>
<DIV>./d-rats</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You may need to install a few packages: pyserial first and a few others detailed here:</DIV>

<DIV>Let me know how it turns out. As I say, it's on my list of things to try!</DIV>

<P class=yiv727527202msonormal>I am trying to load D-RATS on my new Raspberry Pi. Following the instructions on the website for the apt-get repository on Launchpad, I get the error that it can’t find a distribution template after typing the “sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa” command. Am I doing something wrong or is it different for the Pi? </P>
<P class=yiv727527202msonormal> </P>
<P class=yiv727527202msonormal>Also, has anyone installed D-RATS on the Pi? I’m looking to run a Ratflector on it.</P>
