NXDN Encryption Key ID

[racingfan360]

Hi all. I've been set an interesting challenge by a colleague looking for help and it's got me stumped too: so looking for any bright sparks of help/innovation.

Here's the scenario: He uses his NX200 handheld at various locations up and down the country, with some channels added to the scan list used in listen-only mode. Two of the sites have started to enable the built-in NXDN encryption to their channels. The encryption key is known, programmed into the NX220, operates as before, so no issue here. But the problem is now visiting the second site. The same encryption key is now being used at both sites, but at one site it's been programmed into Key ID = 0 and at the other as Key ID =1. It looks like the NX200 can only only accept a key once in the Key Data list so I can't place it at both Key ID =0 and KeyID = 1 locations? Have I missed something, or do you think this is resigned to a reprogram to reset the Key ID field every time he flips betwen sites ?

I think if both sites were using Key ID 0, this would work.

Haven't played with the function much. I use encryption on my trunked system, but that's a bit different than what you are doing.
kd4efm might have some input.

Thanks, and agreed: unfortunately not something that I can change. I think I'll be out of luck, but thought I'd open it to the experts on this forum.
From the KPG111 software: "Key Data: The same Key Data cannot be duplicated" so I think I'll struggle. Strange as with other non-Kenwood radios it is possible program in the same Key data to different Key ID positions.

I don't have any NXDN radio, I use DMR, but, have you try this?

Thanks. Interesting feature. Unfortunately thid doesn't appear to be available for the KPG-111D software or the NXx00 series.

Thanks. Interesting feature. Unfortunately third doesn't appear to be available for the KPG-111D software or the NXx00 series.

Whats not available???

The KEY ID SCAN? KPG-111D, you need to get the latest version then
KPG-D1, has it.
I use it, alot.

NOW as for same KEY DATA, no it wont allow you to duplicate

 

[racingfan360]

Which version of KPG-111D do you see it in?

 

[racingfan360]

ignore my last.....if it doesn't allow duplicate key data like other encryption/manufacturers do then its not going to help much.

 

[kd4efm]

No, the other site will need to be a seperate key data and ID.

EDIT: OR you will have to have a second radio (sadly)
I tried the duplicate data thing on my KPG-AE1 (aes/des keyloaded) and it too did not
like duplicate keys with seperate key id's

"KPG111D - you have to get the latest version"

So, with the latest version (what is it please?) of KPG-111D has Encryption "key ID scan" in it?
