Need a information for Ge orion with VS indicator MODEL D2HHG3

[nucleaireqc]

Hello,
I noticed that some type of ORION radio model VS have a registration mark and the other did not see picture

VS for Voice Guard?

Tank you guys

May not be it, but I found references to "VS" being AEGIS radios with DES.

If I take a card and AEGIS I insert in the AEGIS will be functional? radio probably has option 12 (digital voice AEGIS)?

Wow in all my years of messing with GE stuff I never ran across this (the VS) marking. It could mean something, but there's a chance it has NOTHING to do with what the radio will do.

Yes the Orion will need to have the AEGIS option enabled for the AEGIS card to work, and as far as I knew, there has never been a model number tag designation (something physically printed on it) that designated the options a radio has.

I'd love to find out for sure though.

VA = AEGIS Unencrypted Digital only
VE = AEGIS w/VGE Encryption
VS = AEGIS w/DES Encryption

VA = AEGIS Unencrypted Digital only
VE = AEGIS w/VGE Encryption
VS = AEGIS w/DES Encryption

OK thank you.

If I understood it, I can install a card AEGIS unencrypted (VA) in being given the radio is equipped with option 12 if it is marked VS?

Shows ya what I know.

OK thank you.

If I understood it, I can install a card AEGIS unencrypted (VA) in being given the radio is equipped with option 12 if it is marked VS?

All four (4) versions (VA, VE, VS & VGS) are the exact same model of AEGIS/VoiceGuard daughter board installed into the Orion mobile radio.
What makes them different is a combination of what is enabled in the radio’s FEATURE CODE, AND, what ADI code is installed into the radio.

FEATURE CODE 12 - enables Unencrypted AEGIS digital voice only. (VA Radio)
FEATURE CODE 13 – enables VGE encryption algorithm in both AEGIS and VoiceGuard digital voice formats & unencrypted AEGIS digital voice. (VE Radio)
FEATURE CODE 14 - enables DES encryption algorithm in both AEGIS and VoiceGuard digital voice formats & unencrypted AEGIS digital voice. (VS Radio)
FEATURE CODE 15 - enables any VGS encryption algorithm in AEGIS & unencrypted AEGIS digital voice. (VGS Radio)


[NOTE: The older VoiceGuard digital voice only supported encrypted voice. Unencrypted digital voice was not supported until the introduction of the 2nd Generation format, called "AEGIS".]

------------------

ADI Code 01100 is for the DES encryption algorithm (and Unencrypted AEGIS).

ADI Code 02000 is for Unencrypted AEGIS only.

ADI Code 02200 is for the VGE encryption algorithm (and Unencrypted AEGIS).

ADI Codes 05100 through 05199 is for the various VGS encryption algorithms (and Unencrypted AEGIS).


What is generally not known is that all models and bandsplits of the Orion mobile radio have the sockets for the digital voice daughter board. (29 to 941 MHz)

FCC and Industry Canada type accepted for digital voice at all frequency bands, and digital voice will function correctly at all bandsplits. VHF-Lowband and 900 MHz models were never publicly marketed in the USA as such.




This data also applies to the M-RK series of portable radios.

I received my radio with writing (ws) and I'm not so high option ----> 12, 13,14,15. I do not understand.

I read the radio and 4 channel was encrypted on key1
