Hytera 982i, Manual

Page: 1 / 20

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 (

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