Hytera 982i User manual

So, you are building a Hytera 982i DMR Repeater?

Well, you have chosen a great radio, especially for DMR service. But, this is a build that is not

like any other repeater build you have done. For that reason alone, I have created some

screen shots and hints that I have found while building mine.

First, of course, is obtaining the programming cable (do yourself a favor and purchase the PC-47

cable as it will make it easier to do both firmware updates as well as programming), the latest

firmware updates (at least version 8 –see my notes about this later in this article) and the

programming software. Please reach out to Terry Gillard, NX7R, who is a Hytera dealer in

Henderson, Nevada to purchase these items. Terry was a tremendous help in helping me with

my many questions and is a great resource.

As I was building this primarily as a DMR repeater, the addition of a controller was not considered (it has

a built-in CW ID). The 26 pin (3 row) accessory port on the rear has the outputs needed. However,

unlike most repeaters, you cannot place this repeater in a “base station”mode for the controller to take

over all repeater functions. This may limit what your controller can do. However, the following pinout

is provided by Chris Hood (https://www.chrishoodblog.com/add-allstar-to-hytera-982-repeater/) and

shows the necessary connections. For my specific build, nothing was connected to this port.

In order to use your DMR repeater on a network, such as BrandMeister or any other system, the IP Multi

Site Entitlement key MUST be installed (this can be emailed to you. You install it yourself using the PC-

47 cable).

The analog side is 12.5 KHz. If you wish to change this to 25 KHz for local amateurs to have analog

ability (Dynamic Mixed Mode - Both Analog and DMR Simultaneously), then you will also need to

purchase the WB Entitlement key (This must be implemented at a Hytera Dealers Shop using specialized

dealer service software). Both these items may be purchased through Terry Gillard.

Now, if you haven't already, you need to get a 6 digit repeater ID number from http://RadioID.Net. If you

are connecting to BrandMeister, you will also need to create an account. This can be the same account

as your DMR hotspot unless this is going to be a club repeater, in which you may want to create a new

one. Once your repeater is functional and sending to BrandMeister (your repeater ID will show up in the

general repeater area), then open a support ticket for the BrandMeister team to give you admin

privaleges connected to your account.

The following screens will help you with how I programmed the repeater. Note: I am not an expert and

I'm sure there may be some changes that should be made.... this is what works for me. Along with some

of the screens, I will make some comments that may help.

Be sure you have the latest firmware (at least A8.??.??.???). But, DO NOT upgrade past v8.05 if you still

wish to utilize the RDAC (Repeater Data and Control) software, as the newer software precludes its use.

The New XNMS software is not supported by BrandMeister!

You should see the necessary options checked. You will definately need "IP Multi-site Connect" in order

to connect to the BrandMeister network. This box will automatically be checked when you install the

Entitlement Key.

I have seen several blogs asking to uncheck all of the Alarm Setting boxes. Leaving them checked

seems to send unnecessary alarms to BrandMeister.

The settings of these pins may be necessary if you are using the rear accessory port.

There are some “programmable”buttons on the front of the repeater:

If at all possible, use a static IP connection (see my notes at the end of these screens).

The "Network Authentication Key" needs to be blank. The best way (according to the many blogs and

sites I have seen), is to enter some random numbers, save it, delete them and save again.
