Can anyone who actually owns the GD-77 confirm what encryption options come with the included firmware? I do understand that whatever encryption it has, if any, will be non-standard and not compatible between different radio brands (like Motorola, TYT, etc..). I am just looking to see how many encryption keys can be entered and possibly the range available. Is it just the numbers 0 to 255 (basic encryption) or are they keys hexadecimal (0-9 and A-F) and have longer lengths like 12+. Thank you very much.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

There are already two threads discussing this topic:

64bit encryption means 16 BCD digits max: 123456FF123456FF
The only options are None or Basic, and Basic is 32bit or 64bit.

16 keys is the max CPS will allow.
And the length of the key doesn't necessarily mean it's more secure... it's all in how it's implemented.
I am not familiar with the acronym "BCD". What does it stand for?

BCD stands for binary coded decimal, which has nothing to do with the hexadecimal digits used when entering keys.
