Hello friend,
I am in the same situation of knowing if the AOR DV-10 US Version, equipment that is available in the United States, to activate NXDN descr. + Voice inversion!
Any idea or way to achieve this, I would appreciate your help !t
Thanks friends
after selling all my AOR equipment, i haven’t looked back at the current firmware development. So i have no idea if it’s still possible. I also have very little time atm too check it.
Ok, so I had some time to kill..
First of all, this is completely on your own risk and I take no responsibility if something bad happens.
The unblocking procedure is relatively simpel, but it will require some knowledge on how to create a USB serial connection with your DV10. I highly recommend you figure this out first. Once figured out, and you can successfully send some basic commands like "VR" (firmware version) to your device, you are good to go. You might have to read some of the AOR documentation on how to.
Unblock procedure
1. Install this modified firmware. 2307AU MD5:7573914185640ef521af4acaad72d236
2. After the firmware upgrade, Do a "FULL RESET" on your DV10(not sure if needed, but more bit of a habit)
3. Setup your USB serial connection, with your software of choice(putty, ...)
4. Send the "BB" command. On a Blocked device(B model) this should return "20BB1"
5. Send the "SK" command. This should return "20"
6. Send the "BB0" command(1=blocked, 0=unblocked). This should return "20"
7. Turn the DV10 off, remove the battery and place it back. Now you should be done and the device is no longer a B model(B is also removed from the firmware version info). The procedure can be reverted with the same firmware, and send "BB1" at 6. instead.
My test output(I'm using PySerial python module for the serial communication)
C:\Users\john>py -m serial.tools.miniterm --echo COM3
--- Miniterm on COM3 9600,8,N,1 ---
--- Quit: Ctrl+] | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H ---
BB
20BB1
SK
20
BB0
20
--- exit ---
Good luck

Thanks for finally revealing this procedure. What exactly does it "unblock"?
B models won’t provide “decryption” features like the voice inversion descrambler etc.
Are the imported models from Japan considered A or B models? Is the U.S. version considered a B model?
OK, mine ends in A so should be good to go, thanks.

Thank you, It is very much appreciated
Now, to learn how, write the parameters you already mentioned, to the AOR DV10 via com port or USB
Any Help or guide, will be helpful
Thanks again

Yep, just used a different link label when creating the link. They are both the same.
This is a bit of a quick start using Putty Using PuTTY for Serial
There’s a change Putty doesn’t echo your input(so you can’t see what you are typing), and could be a bit inconvenient but not a huge problem.
