[drats_users] ratflector & GPS-A

[Craig Gunther]

Thanks Mike.  I think that is the magic I am missing.  I've seen my 
registrations this morning via IZ5FSA as well, thanks to some hints from others 
about how this all works.  I had thought the ratflector was going to register 
with APRS-IS for me, but I was mistaken.  It looks like I need to add one more 
piece (DPRS) to my server so it can do APRS registrations.  I'll take a look at 
the link you sent when I get back home tonight - my work internet blocks 
d-rats.com!

Mine show up when sent to the Internet too - but I think it is compliments of 
IZ5FSA's aprs server (thanks Leo!).

Take a look at this - it tells how to setup an aprs serve to work with d-rats:

I have set up a ratflector and our local Emergency Services group has been 
training on it for several sessions.  GPS QSTs show up as expected on the D-RATS 
Communication Tool map.  GPS-A QSTs don't seem to make it to aprs.fi.  I can 
peek (wireshark) at the Ethernet traffic hitting my ratflector and I see the 
GPS-A commands come in, but I don't see my ratflector send anything out.  There 
doesn't appear to be any configration options in the D-RATS Repeater Proxy.  
What am I missing?  If I point my D-RATS Communication Tool at ref.d-rats.com my 
GPS-A message changes show up on aprs.fi.  Am I correct in thinking that GPS-A 
messages go from the D-RATS station to the ratflector, and then from the 
ratflector to aprs.fi?  If you can point me at some documentation that would be 
great.
