Hytera DMR and TCP/IP (PDP over IP)

[MarvinTheMartian]

Hi,

Do Hyera radios have the ability to serve as TCP/IP network adapters when connected to the PC, similar how Motorola does with "IP Peripheral" functionality?

Do they have USB to Ethernet capability? Also, devices that have BT, do they have BT PAN (Personal Area Network) profile?

To better illustrate, here is a video showing how one can use 2 Motorolas on two computers and exchange (very sloooooowly) TCP/IP packets between them as if they are connected via (slooooooow) ethernet.

Also, if yes, is Hytera interoperable with Motorola? Asking for an emergency comms service my Ham Radio club is organizing...


There is a very reasonably priced second hand PD785G with a good battery on offer, and I'm considering to buy it...

I don't have much experience with data over Hytera but there is something.
an example here

The new HM785 also have an IP connect which actually lets an IP network be generated linking the two using 'clarity transmission'

Also, if yes, is Hytera interoperable with Motorola?
Yes and no. Data comms probably no. DMR is a standard so voice comms are. Manufacturer extras like trunking and motorola DCDM are not. Manufacturer specific encryption is not compatible but AES is. Text mesages and other signalling like radio check can all be compatible.

If its for a ham club then you should be designing it to be interoperable I would imagine as it will need to support Moto, Hytera but also cheap chinese like anytone?

Actually, data is baked in the DMR standard, but frequently not implemented...

That's why I was asking... If anyone has more info, I'd appreciate it!

Your very welcome

Hytera's 10 bit encryption should be still compatible with Motorola's enhanced encryption I have XPR radios talking to 782G radios through RD-982 repeaters networked.

not sure if this would help pass data between Trbo and DMR

Not sure about this radio but I did construction in a place with thick metal walls, radio signals weren't penetrating it well-enough and they set up our pd982u1 to work via cheap access points they placed in every room. I have no idea how but it worked, as well as or even better than the regular digital radios, actually, much better than analog as well. Just my $0.002
