HyteraCoT - Hytera to Cursor-On-Target GatewayThe HyteraCoT Hytera to Cursor-On-Target Gateway transforms Hytera radio position information into Cursor On Target (COT) Position Location Information (PLI) for display on Situational Awareness (SA) applications such as the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), WinTAK, RaptorX, TAKX, iTAK, et al.For more information on the TAK suite of tools, see:https://www.tak.gov/Support HyteraTAK DevelopmentHyteraTAK has been developed for the Disaster Response, Public Safety and
Frontline Healthcare community. This software is currently provided at no-cost
to non-commercial users. Any contribution you can make to this project's development
efforts is greatly appreciated.How it worksThe HyteraCoT Hytera to Cursor-On-Target Gateway connects to your Hytera repeater (tested RD965) via Ethernet cable, registers with repeater and transforms Hytera radio positions (tested PD985 and PD785) tinto Cursor On Target format to be displayed on Situational Awareness apps.It can also forward all packets it receives to a list of hosts. All packets received on one of slot ports will be forwarded to all listed hosts on the same port number.It does not require running under root/admin user, if you bind to ports over 1024.Required configurationThe 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 and/or both).Settings fileThe software should work well with the default configuration.
It is possible to change global defaults and per radio configuration.Thesettings.inifile structure is described below:Sections[forward-to-pc]- general repeater settingsIP as defined in repeater [0.0.0.0] (it will listen on all available addresses by default)gps1_port, gps2_port GPS slot ports [30003,30004]forward_to list of hosts to forward packets ""[hyteratak]- general TAK server settingsurl - TAK server url udp broadcast on default port [broadcast://239.2.3.1] (it uses the default WinTAK multicast address 239.2.3.1 and port 6969)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 Sectionname section as radio ID, for ID=100, section name will be [100]type, stale, group, role as for global server settingsname - radio name to be displayed [RadioID (Hytera)]uid - evant ID [HYTERA.RadioID]Other connection optionsYou can use other options for sending to CoT server and use IP or hostnames.UDP protocol[hyteratak]

You can use packet forwarding if you use another servers to receive Hytera packets.
All packets received on one slot ports will be forwarded to each host from the defined list on the same port number.
So all gps1 packets received on port 30003 will be forwarded to each host from the list to port 30003.
You define the host list usingforward_toin[forward-to-pc]section as a comma-separated list of host names and/or IP addresses.Packet forwarding[forward-to-pc]
