APX APX 8000 Software AES

[TheCoolMatrix]

Hi All,
I recently acquired an APX 8000 portable that has Software AES on it. I was told that you can use the KFDTool software to load the AES encryption keys into the radio just using the radio's programming cable. I have attempted but I have had no success. Has anyone done this before? Are there any tricks to getting it to load?

Thanks!

In your codeplug under Secure, do you have it set to Software encryption? Under Secure Wide, you should also see ADP and AES when software is selected. Make sure that all the algorithms are checked.

The 8000 supports Software AES? I thought it only supported Hardware AES in the MACE.

All APX BN Freon Processor based radios are capable of AES, DES, ADP software encryption loading keys in the FLASH, not the MACE of the radio via DLI keyloading mode on a KVL5000 or the KFDtool software.
You need these flashcode options respectively for said functions to work:

• QA06653 SW-AES
• QA07949 DES Software Crypto
• Q667 Advanced Digital Privacy

Awesome, didn't know that was an orderable option on the higher tier APX models. Thanks for the info!

So that’s where I’m having an issue. I’m using the KFDtool software with DLI. Do I put it in Motorola mode or just standard? And what port number do I use?

Make sure your CKRs are listed in the Encryption key list before loading via KFDtool. Otherwise it should just work.
