Hytera World Wide Linking Project

[atms169]

Currently looking for other Amateur Radio Hytera DMR systems to connect with. We have two websites in the process of being developed along with the Last Heard listings. 4 Connected systems with a Florida system and Arizona system to come on board.

Please contact me if interested in joining the network.

Thanks

DMR linking...

Why don't you join the DMR net that already exists? You need a TRBO repeater with an IP link to do so, of course. Hytera or Motorola makes no difference; in the simple TRBO format used both will work fine.

 

[atms169]

Well, we already have the Hytera repeaters (Which you know are not compatible). So this is why we are setting up a World Wide network for the Hytera DMR systems. We are going with the MotoTRBO design with ID and color codes. This way if we ever get a connection with the C-Bridge then we can all be happy.

For now, we are setting up a WW network on the Hytera, which is slow but forthcoming.

Thanks

Actually they won't.

The site to site linking is proprietary to each model.

Hey guys,
Yes right now it is not feasible to link Hytera and Motorola. But it is just a matter of time before it is affordable. We have no policy preventing a Motorola repeater linking with us once it is possible. Our goal is to create an inclusive DMR network where the choice of repeater is irrelevant.
Thanks,
Will

 

[atms169]

It's possible, and maybe "not" right now but maybe in the future. Never say never

 

[mikewazowski]

Sure, anything is possible in the future but if you live in the present, than no, it's not currently doable.

Perhaps in the future, Hytera and TRBO repeaters will be able to talk directly or through a C-Bridge.

I wish you luck though. I've considered buying a DMR repeater and the decision to go Hytera or Motorola is a tough decision.

The DMR network has so many more repeaters that right now if I were to buy one, it would probably be Motorola.

 

[atms169]

Depends on what you want I guess. We are setting up a Hytera WW system. Hytera is a much better product then Motorola. Easier to program, cheaper and excellent quality. No fussing with CPS and programming.

 

[kb1isz]

Mike I agree it is a tough decision on what way to go. I made my own decision and I always urge someone to do there own research. Since it is your money you are putting up don't let anyone try to convince you either way.

Also it is to my knowledge possible to link them via a third party box(proham.com) it is just very expensive. I spoke with them and they said there box would do it but the pricing was out of my league.
Thanks,
Will

Mesa Arizona will be coming online in the next month on the Hytera network.

How many repeaters do you have linked up?

 

[kb1isz]

Right now we have 4 repeaters.
2 in RI
1 in TX
1 in FL

We should be adding one in GA in a week and one in AZ at some point in the future.
Thanks,
Will

 

[JRayfield]

What's the maximum number of Hytera repeaters that can be linked together now?

With the super master feature a network can support hundreds of repeaters.

 

[atms169]

Just a quick note, Lakeland Florida is now online and a couple of more are pending. The Hytera group is growing!

 

[atms169]

Here's a quick update:

Last heard list, still under development, thanks Dave K, Will C and Alan A. It is in Beta mode and looking remarkable!

You can view it from our website at Hytera MotoTRBO » World Wide Linking Project

Currently connected to the network are:

W1DMR – Cumberland, RI (146.625 -600KHz CC1)
KB1ISZ – Smithfield, RI (446.425 -5MHz CC1)
KE5WFB – Laredo, TX (441.6625 +5MHz CC1)
N4KEG – Lakeland, FL (147.375 +600KHz CC1)
W7QO- Atlanta, GA (443.025 +5MHz CC1)
W2WDW – West Palm Beach, Florida (443.950 CC10)
KE7TR – MESA, AZ (440.725 +5MHz CC1)

The Hytera is growing fairly quickly, we look forward to others joining the system.

I am happy to announce we are linked into Germany at this point. We are still in testing mode and may have some kinks to work out.

We have also added a repeater since the last update.

Lufkin, Tx

will the setting and id from the DMR-MARC system work on the hytera network?

if not were can I find the settings for a motorola xpr7550?

 

[kb1isz]

Yes the setting's are comparable.

One thing that you might want to add is talkgroup 9990. It is an echo talkgroup that will repeat back everything you say. Great for hearing signal reports or checking audio levels when no one is on. The traffic never leaves the local repeater.
Thanks,

[kk4mei]

okay. Are the talk groups and other listings the same a the MARC system? I know it is a diffrent system. Is there a website for seetting up your raddo for the Hytera network?
