Encryption Type

TrunkerMan · Post by **TrunkerMan** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 1:37 am

I would like to enable my radio (LPE200) to do some testing. I want to do PV with DES. The only problem it that the encryption type control is locked and greyed out. The radio has features .. 4 5 6 7 8 12 13 14 16 17 23 24 29

Doesn't 14 allow DES operation ... ?

The control shows NON 1027 by default and I cannot change it. But according to the help it should be FS 1027 for portables.

Can someone let me know how to set this up for PV with DES ...
(Programmer ver 13A)

Thanks

do you actually have a des key loaded into it?
my best guess is you probably can't mess with encryption settings until an actual key is loaded into it...

i would assume the key was dumped before you got the radio if you are not the original owner.

No .. there is no key loaded. Its like what came first the chicken or the egg .. I dont know if one is causing trouble for the other.

if you don't have a DES keyloader, you might never find your answer... gotta have a key loaded to ever test it out anyhow.

No I dont have a keyloader as they are restricted apparently. I am just curious about how these things work .. as maybe someday I would like to change careers to do more radio type work.

Guess I will never learn by doing in this case .. but the courses on this stuff is so expensive. Maybe sometime in the future ..

i've seen the keyloaders for sale on e-bay & maybe even on this board...

mighty pricey little toys...

here's a link to some more keyloader info:

I have no real need for a keyloader but thanks for the information. I regularly check Ebay for Edacs stuff so maybe if someone has one for like $ 20 maybe I would buy one. Im in the market for an Orion soon though .. so maybe I will find a good deal.

Thanks
