The keyloading cables were options to all models. You will need a D version to program some of The higher the letter, the newer and fancier. The version letter (A, B, C, D) refers to when the unit was produced and what features/algorithm's it
They use the same batteries/chargers as the MX style radios.ĭVP CODE INSERTER T3010AX, T3010BX, T3010CX, T3010DXĭES/DES-XL SECURENET T3011AX, T3011BX, T3011CX, T3011DX KVL's look like a big calculator, with red readout and numeric membrane keypad. Then, using the appropriate Key Variable Loader (KVL), load the encryption key into the radios.
To make encryption work in your radios, you'll need a pair of radios with the same type of encryption capability (for example, DVP "Digital Voice Encryption" will not communicate with DES "Data Encryption Standard"). These designate Clear, "O", or unencrypted, or Coded, /, or encrypted signal. Many times the radio will have a switch that shows an "O", and an "O" with a slash (/) though it. Most of the time (but not always) the models that are encryption capable have an "X" designation in the model number.For example, for some popular models the designation is such that: To determining if it's capable or not can be determined by model number. Some radios (Spectra, Saber) may be capable of secure, but are lacking the necessary hardware to achieve encryption. The only "surefire" way to know if your radio is already capable of encrypted transmission is to open it up and see if has the encryption modules. MX300 - Saber - System Saber - Astro Spectra

Some of the more popular radios that are capable of encryption in selected models: Some non-secure model can be made to work secure with an outboard "Secure Box". Not all radios are capable of secure communications right out of the box. Motorola offers it's customers radios that are capable of using digital encrytion (called Securenet(tm)) to prohibit unauthorized reception of the transmitted information. 2-Way Encryption Primer 2-Way Encryption Primer
