The OTAR REKEY is greyed out on the XL400 Menu and REKEY is enabled in options. The radio was added to the KMF. The radio RSI was added to the KMF with the KVL so it should be provisioned. What can I check?
Thanks

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
OTAR Rekey Greyed Out

Typically, I have to reboot the radio after it is keyloaded and then the OTAR REKEY menu is not greyed out.

After I Zeroized and Re-Keyloaded. The Option is now highlighted. Now, it says "No OTAR KEK Loaded". I have to fix that. Thanks!
When you zeroize it, it removes all keys, even the UKEK, which is needed for OTAR. Just make sure that you create a new Provisional from the KMF after you add the radio to the cryptonet in the UAS, otherwise it will not load the correct UKEK for that particular radio. You can view the Provisional using Notepad to verify that the RID is present in your Provisional file. Serial numbers in the Provisional are in decimal, so you'll have to convert them to look for the serial, so A40301234567 would be converted to 180332810945895. When searching for the RID, use the format using quotes, like: "9980001" and it will show up as an "RSI." This method will show the KEK for each RSI or radio ID/ESN. This is not the actual TEK or traffic key and is only used to verify through the KMF that it is a legit user on the system and to OTAR the actual TEK keys when requested.
