Okay, I don't want to hijack this thread any further, so this is the last I'll say about it. If anyone's an idiot, it's me, because I talked to the communications guy and I was wrong. We don't have APX 8000s, we have APX 6000s, so if the 6000s don't support LLA, which I thought they would, but guess not, then now I understand the issue.

Have the people from MARCS come down to explain things. It’s obvious you’re getting your information from someone who either 1) doesn’t have a clue or 2) is intentionally misleading you/your agency in the hopes of making a sale.

What Redbeard said is correct: All APX models support Link-Layer Authentication.

They do but if you have "AN" version (last letters in model number) you have until end of year to order the flash upgrade.
