ADP on xts and apx

[katt02]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if ADP that is used on the APX radios will work with the XTS series radios? For example If I had an APX4000, APX6000, and XTS2500 could they all work together with ADP encryption as long as they have the same key?

Thanks,

Katt

Yes.

ADP is ADP, they will work fine together

Also works with Kenwood/Viking ARC4

Only limitation is XTS can only do 8 keys. APX can do many more.
Otherwise we have both radios using it just fine.

Tait also offers ARC4 on both their DMR and P25 gear.

As does L3 Harris on the XL185/XL200, and Relm does on the KNG series.

FWIW I've tested both AES-256 and ADP (ARC-4) on my 7.16 trunking system, and passed coded traffic between numerous APX, XTS, XTL, EF Johnson VP-6000/VP-5430, VP600, Tait 9400, Harris XG-185p, and Relm KNG-P2 800 portables.

The only issue I observed was some garbled decoding on the EF-Kenwood VP-5430, almost like it loses the cypher stream, in weak signal areas whereas nearby APX radios never missed a beat or had any audible BER.

L3 Harris also has ARC4 on the M7300 and the XG100M mobiles as long as you have the feature enabled and your RPM is above a certain revision (RPM 10B does not support ARC4). I'm using RPM 14 and it works great. ARC4 works great with Motorola ADP.
