Even though you don't want to transmit, the software requires a key to be able to change any of the system settings. If you don't have a trunking system, you still will need to obtain a systems key in order to build the trunking system.

Like the "M" System Key Generator, I can generate my own Key. Is there a way to do this on the EFJ?

To the best of my knowledge, the software to generate an EFJ systems key has not leaked out of the company. Having been through obtaining a key from EFJ before, it is not that easy. You need to get the form emailed to you. Get the radio systems manager of the system you want to get the key for to sign the form and then fax it back to EFJ.

Good luck on your efforts.
