Apx Cps ENC and handmic questions

[nick223]

Curious how some apx radios have ENC added but some apx radio's on the same system dont have ENC but they can still hear the ENC radio traffic how's this possible?


Another question
How to do program the mic button in the cps or does the buttons on the radio just mirror itself for the hand mic buttons

ENC On/Off at the user level (Mobile / Portable) is for when they Transmit.
IF properly programmed the Reception will automatically Decode, if the proper encryption key is in the radio (Should occur seamlessly to the end user)

Can you just clone one radio to the rest and the enc set up be good or do you have to hook up every radio and do it manually?

Programming can be cloned,but not encryption keys.Those have to be programmed into each radio individually.

plus enc can be either user select on/off or strapped on a particular channel so when on the channel its always enc.

If the network the encrypted radios operate on has the ability to Over The Air Rekey(OTAR), the radios only need to be touched with a Key Varible Loader(KVL) once. After the initial key(s) are loaded, the radios can be rekeyed at will.

Until a radio loses its keys or is zeroized it never needs to be touched with a KVL to rekey.

Thank you all. Just new to this Enc stuff.

And to answer your second question, you can assign functions separately for the radio and the mic in the software.

Where at? Under buttons I only have the radio buttons and no mic button options.

I can't remember off the top of my head, it's been a while since I've programmed an apx. Let me take a look on my computer when I make it into work shortly and I'll let you know.

-Radio ergonomics configuration ---> controls ---> accessory buttons.
