Throwback Tuesday: HT1000 with Transcrypt Hopping code encryption boards.

[speaker-mic]

Here's an old one. Came across some HT1000 radios with Transcrypt boards in them. They make a MDC1200 chirp and then another chirp like the GE Star and start with the inversion and a ticking sound about each second. I know this is dinosaur tech but they were pretty good back in the day.

I used to have a copy of their software that they emailed free of charge but that was 2+ decades ago.

Never really dealt with them much and when i poked around, I found out they are out of business.

Anyone here ever deal with these boards? Id like to take a matched set and add them to the legacy exhibit.

Thanks.

P.S. Looking to have a matched set programmed, not fishing for software. Also, please don't hate me for the nostalgic gear, its part of a history display.

We used Transcrypt at PBSO in the 90's that I installed in their VHF Standard HX400 portables & GX3000 mobiles for the undercover operations and SWAT. I maintained about 100 in total and while they had a repeater system, the rolling code worked much better in simplex. I have this board on my shelf of fame in my man cave.
