A little clarification that might help. D-STAR has 2 modes, DV and DD. The names are indeed a little confusing.
DD – High speed data ~125kbps currently only available with the ID-1. DD is implemented Ethernet over radio. DV – Voice and low speed data. Simply put it is a 4800 bps signal, ½ the signal is voice, ¼ is forward error correction on the voice and ¼ is data. Low speed data and voice go in the same stream. So a common saying is that data follows voice. Anywhere your voice goes, the data, if any, will follow, it’s all part of the same stream. DRATS uses the low speed data capability of DV.

The D-Rats site is not very helpful. If the repeater is coming back with an ID, where would I see it? On the radio display?
