Hytera to Cursor-On-Target Gateway

HyteraTAK - Hytera to Cursor-On-Target Gateway

This software will track your Hytera radios on WinTAK.

It connects to your Hytera repeater (tested RD965) via Ethernet cable, registers with repeater and gets radio positions (tested PD985 and PD785) to update on WinTAK.

It does not require running under root/admin user, if you bind to ports over 1024.

Required configuration

The repeater needs to have Forward to PC enabled with your computer IP address and both Radio GPS slot ports enabled. Radios need to have GPS Trigger enabled (time, distance or both).

Settings file

The software should work well with the default configuration. It is possible to change global defaults and per radio configuration.

The settings.ini file structure is described below:

Sections

• [forward-to-pc] - general repeater settings
  • IP as defined in repeater [0.0.0.0]
  • gps1_port, gps2_port GPS slot ports [30003,30004]
• [hyteratak] - general TAK server settings
  • url - TAK server url udp broadcast on default port [broadcast:239.2.3.1]
  • type - default CoT type [a-f-G-U-C]
  • stale - CoT stale in seconds [3600]
  • group - default group [Green]
  • role - default role [Team Member]
• [100] radio Section
  • name section as radio ID, for ID=100, section name will be [100]
  • type, stale, group, role as for global server settings
  • name - radio name to be displayed [RadioID (Hytera)]
  • uid - evant ID [HYTERA.RadioID]
