Here is a way to transfer all the ratflectors without re-entering all the info in via the D-Rats Preferences-Radio interface (particularly useful if you have multiple d-rats to keep aligned).

1) Go to the D-Rats config directory, usually something like:

C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Roaming\D-RATS

2) Save your current config file with a different name: d-rats.config → d-rats.config.1

3) Open the d-rats.config file with notepad (or any other editor).

4) Go to the end of the file. You will find a section "ports", like this:

[ports]
ports_0 = True,net:k3pdr.dstargateway.org:9000,,False,False,K3PDR
ports_1 = False,net:localhost:9000,,False,False,Local RATflector
ports_2 = True,net:ref.d-rats.com:9000,,False,False,RAT

4) Copy all the lines of interest and be ready to paste into the config file of the other d-rats instance.

5) Open the new config file from the D-Rats-EV config directory, usually something like:

C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Roaming\D-RATS-EV\d-rats.config

and paste the lines previously copied into the same section at the end of the config file.

Note: Pay attention to not duplicate the [ports] section title. In addition, you may select more ratflectors from the partial list below. Do not worry about the port numbering. D-rats will renumber the ports when d-rats is launched.
