APX 4000 / KVL 3000

[n9zip]

I have two KVL 3000s and both are the same. I want to use the KVL on the APX 4000.
When I connect the radio, the radio displays "KEYLOADING"
When I select load on the KVL, the load icon appears, then a error message.
I do not have mode select on the KVL, so I don't have ASTRO 25 on the KVL.

Any Thoughts???

If your KVLs don't support the mode you need then sell them and buy a KFDtool.

Are you sure your radio is programmed for hardware and not software ? What algorithm are you trying to load ? and does the MACE have that in the radio ?

Yes i'm in hardware, the radio sees the kvl.... ALGO is dvp-xl dont see MACE. I can't switch to any modes on the KVL

I've been out of the DES/DVP world for awhile, but does the APX even support DVP? Its really a really old format.

Mine do...but I's suspect 99.9% of the ones out there don't have that algo in them.

It's like learning to ride a bike with training wheels.... This what the KVL is telling me after trying to load a key. KEY LOAD FAILED NO SECURITY TEST ACK RCV FROM RADIO.... I'm betting the firmware on the KVL was never updated.

Here is what I have. APX4000 can only support one non ADP encryption type within build. Although the sales pages do not state APX4000 supports DES/OFB, it does. You need to work with sales rep. (But it will be at the expense of not having AES in radio). (No DVP or DVP-XL listed)

RE: DVP or DVP XL. I could only find this sales option (DVP XL) on higher tier (EX APX6000/8000) offerings. These are analog encryption types and not supported on any current infrastructure. Good luck. You will need it.

Now that makes sense. Thank you for filling in the holes. It's all about the $$$$. LOL Thanks Again

So you tried to keyload the radios just assuming they had that algo in them?
