D-rats : paper trail

To provide an audit trail , d-rats can show you that a message was indeed sent . 

D-rats : file transfer

Besides the messaging capabilities , d-rats excels in file sharing . 

Here we see a programming experiment I'm working on AND the TDRC webpage being transmitted between two stations . 

D-rats : chat

The chat facility is simple but effective .

There is support for keyword filtering , automatic ( timer ) transmissions and canned phrases.

Drats : runs on the Pi or on Windows

D-rats has a modern interface for sending messages to dstar , TNC , Internet , Internet email and winlink users. 

It can be set up to route Internet emails through just one particular station with Internet access making the rest of the path rely on ham radio as possible .

It's come a long ways from the "dumb terminals" and  emulators that confused folks previously .
