Introduction

Terestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA)

Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) is a four slot TDMA radio technology that fits in a standard 25khz channel. It supports voice, text, and data from up to four talkers (called terminals) simultaneously. It even supports phone calls bridged to the public switched telephone network (think private autopatch). The audio codec is patented, but the code is open source... so experimentation is at least technically possible. Some of the designed applications are public service, emergency response, and railroads. It is very popular in Europe and South America.

Some of it's cooler features include a "gateway" mode, where if one radio can't reach the infrastructure (repeater), but it can communicate with a radio that can, the radio in the middle can act as a bridge. Similarly, the radios can act as virtual repeaters in the total lack of any infrastructure at all: you can talk simplex to any radio you can hear, and through it, any radio it can hear, etc. Imagine being at an event with no repeater coverage, but being able to have a self expanding network of radios on a simplex network.

Here I will explain using DMO mode only, as TMO very expensive.


How to

There are two options, if you are located in an area with repeater/node coverage you only need a TETRA radio. I there is no repeater/node in your area you can setup one an link it to the TETRA Mexico network.

To use an existing repeater you will need:

  • 01 TETRA Radio 430-440 MHz.
  • Programming periferials (PC, cable, CPS, etc).

Programación del radio

To access the TETRA Mexico radio network you will need to program your radio as follows:

Subscriber Unit Parameters

  • Radio ISSI = 1234567 (Your ID from www.radioid.net)

DMO Parameters>DMO Group Call Timers

  • DMO Reservation Time, sec = 1

DMO Parameters>DMO Address Extension

  • MCC 901
  • MNC 16383

TalkGroups>DMO>DMO Folders List

DMO Folders List
Name Status Transmision Timeout Timer, sec Transmision Timeout Warning Timer, sec Number of Talkgroups in Range Receive Only
DMO Ham On 120 110 2

En la sección Talk Groups>DMO>DMO Talkgroup List necesitarás programar dos canales con la frecuencia del repetidor/nodo que utilizarás.

Channel 2 1 Programmed 1:DMO Ham Repeater None 433.650 User Defined 901 16383 NO_KG Security Class 1 Security Class 1 None None


Data Services>Status ID List

Add the following messages to the table. These messages will allow you to connect and disconnect from different Reflectors or Nodes.

GPS>GPS Settings>GPS

If your radio have a GPS, you can program it. Remember to use LIP, as it it the supported protocol.

  • GPS>GPS Settings>GPS Location Protocol = LIP
  • GPS>LIP Configuration/Destination ISSI = 9999

Linking to a Reflector

To link a Repeater/Node to a reflector, on your radio press Menu then Messages then Send Status, select the Reflector/Node you want to connect and send a Group Message.

Here is a link to the nodes dashboard.

Programming a Repetidor/Node

If you want tomset up your own Repeater/Node, you will need the following stuff:

  • 01 Motorola MTM800e or MTM5400 for 430-440 MHz (Gateway).
  • 01 Raspberry Pi 2B or 3B with PSU, etc.
  • 01 FTDI cable for 3.3 Volts RS232 to USB.
  • 01 URIxB interfase or Signalink or R1 2020.
  • 01 UHF antenna with cable, etc.
  • 01 12 Volts PSU
  • 01 Micro SD card with at least 8 Gb.
  • Internet.
  • Programming periferials (PC, cable, CPS, etc).

Request a Password for your Node

Entra al siguiente link y solicita una cuenta para solicitar una cuenta nueva para accesar al reflector.

Download SVXLink

For a Raspberry (Raspbian) version go to:

Download SVXLink for Raspberry Pi

Burn the image on the Micro SD card.

Update Svxlink to the latest version

Login to your Raspberry and run the following commands: 

sudo systemctl stop svxlink
cd /home/pi/svxlink/src/build
sudo git pull
sudo make install
sudo systemctl start svxlink

Configure SVXLink

You will need to edit the svxlink.conf file as follows 

nano /etc/svxlink/svxlink.conf
