NX5200 & NX5700 ADP

[firemedic834]

Is ADP encryption standard with NX5200 and NX5700 or is an encryption module required?

 

[mmckenna]

ADP is available in in the DMR side only, as far as I know. Kenwood refers to it as "ARC4" which is the standard name for it.
It's a software add on, no crypto module required.

P25 too afaik, license upgrade for p25 arc4 is free, dmr enhanced encryption is not iirc

 

[mmckenna]

You are correct, it's an option on the P25 side as well as DMR. I think originally it wasn't included. They added it when the other company started giving it away.

 

[otobmark]

My NX5300 has arc4 license and it only works for P25, NOT DMR. Haven’t tried NXDN.

You have to add the DMR ARC4 feature license. KWD-5500EE
I don't believe the NXDN side supports ARC4. It only does the 15 bit "scrambler", or you need to add the DES/AES option.

Correct.

The DMR ARC4 also costs $43.20 while the P25 ARC4 key is free.

 

[firemedic834]

Is the license key per radio or per copy of the KPG-DN1 software?

 

[buddrousa]

It would be per radio $43.20 Retail Per Radio bought from a Kenwood Dealer.

 

[tweiss3]

Every NX5K I have bought also had DES 4 key included.

I just checked and tested My 5200 with DMR Key Added ENCRYPTION IS GRAYED OUT as we did not by the ARC4 KEY.

If the encryption module is installed do you get AES256 on everything? I will keep using the NX series I have but don’t want to put too much into them (module) since I’m moving to Viking going forward. We have cashes of NX1300 DMR radios and I really don’t know what the encryption options are there.

I believe it does on P25 and NXDN. Never used the DMR function on these. Maybe someone else has and can confirm.

I have a bunch of the NX-1300's at work for various users, both DMR and NXDN versions.
They include:
NXDN 15 bit "scrambler"
Analog voice inversion scrambler

DMR ARC4 encryption is OPTIONAL, I seem to recall there was some built in "scrambler" or low level encryption option on the DMR side, but I don't have my programming laptop here at home to check/refresh my memory.

That's correct, for DMR the Kenwood also includes a 15-Bit Scrambler that's very similar to that used in NXDN mode

Thanks. I know I set up our users with it, but couldn't recall the details without looking at the software.
