We have done that several times. What I don’t know is if the file takes longer than when one is talking what happens. I assume the repeater stays up unless timed out but the person on the other end wound not hear any voice but should have some indication that the repeater was still busy. If you were using dstar simplex then timing out would of course not be a problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>The dstar voice occupies about 6k bw and d-rats about 1.1 k BW and they coexist by some protocol which I don’t know.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>I hope this helps some. We have a dstar repeater on 25B usually but we can put it on any node so if you want to try some file transfers using rf dstar and coupled via the internet I would be glad to run some experiments on reflector 15C which is a data reflector. I can change our dstar repeater to reflector 15C anytime so if anyone wants to work via reflector 15C rf I would be glad to give it a try. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>73 de rolan w3fdk<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <a href="mailto:dhinsman@gmail.com" title="dhinsman@gmail.com">Donald Hinsman</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Sent:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> Wednesday, March 13, 2013 11:45 AM<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>To:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <a href="mailto:drats_users@intrepid.danplanet.com" title="drats_users@intrepid.danplanet.com">drats_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:whitesmoke'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Subject:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> [drats_users] DRATS questions<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>1) Can D-RATS use a D-STAR RF link and Files to transfer files via the DRATS ftp?
