You'd have to reverse engineer the feature encryption section of the radio firmware as it's all in the radio, not in ProGrammer.

But since you're dealing with an encryption system, I would advise against pursuing this as it seems likely to me that if Harris got wind of it, they'd pursue you to the ends of the earth. Harris would not take kindly to you peeing in their revenue stream and they have the clout to rain trouble upon thee.

My advice is to just back away slowly.


The feature encryption system is a two factor encryption engine where one factor is the ESN and the other is the feature string. The output activates any programmed combination of 40 (or 32 in the earlier radios) software switches.

There are some constants in the feature strings. The first and third byte pairs are always the same. 01 and 0B respectively.
