XPR7550e AES

[Kmiller238]

My 7550e has AES as "Purchased" - should I see the option in CPS 2.0? I see basic and enhanced privacy, but nothing for AES.

I have not purchased any entitlement for this - the radio came to me this way.

I have firmware 2.09; does AES require something higher?

No. Mine is 2.09, & AES works just fine. Don’t use CPS 2.0 unless it’s a matter of life, & death.

I don't currently have a working 16. Would AES show up in 16?

I'm waiting to hear from M on my account setup. Hopefully I'll be able to get a working copy, as well as the widepand entitlement.

Did you purchase the AES option?

Shows up on mine with 16. Do NOT mention to Moto anything about AES as it’s not supposed to be on DMR radios in the USA. And they won’t get you CPS16. They want everyone on 2.0 now. And I did not purchase AES for my radio. You have to remember all these radios already have every feature in them. So by purchasing a feature from Moto, you’re not downloading it from them, you’re just unlocking a feature already in your radio.

Then I'm puzzled as to why it doesn°t show up on mine. It would be in the Security tab, right?

 

[N4KVE]

You’d think, but I’ve never used 2.0, so I don’t know.

Should be in the main radio tab under features or entitlements........ There are only a few folks authorized for AES in the US. Be careful calling Moto, you may be attracting a lot of unwanted attention to whoever you got that radio from. TT

I don't plan to mention that element at all; I'm just waiting to get the business account set up to hopefully get a North American region copy of CPS 16 and the wide band entitlement to do GMRS properly. I've tried numerous copies of 16 from various sites; none will read my radios. They just return the "region not supported" error.

If the 5-7 day figure is remotely believable, then hopefully I'll hear something Tuesday or Wednesday.

If you have a region not supported and AES that is not an North American region radio. You may have issues even using 2.0

But CPS 16 is the Be all End all for CPS ..how do you know 2.0 is not better.. But if you insist on being 6 Years behind in CPS stuck there go ahead

Then you have to figure out what region your radio is from, & get the CPS for that region. Can you post a photo of your serial # decal? Maybe someone can figure out what region your radio is from.

Post a photo of the tags and what firmware is currently in the radio. That will answer some of the questions about thay radio

Wierd, I know of a local company that has a wide area Cap Max systems. Lots of AES encryption in use on it.

 

[Kmiller238]

CPS 2.0 works on this radio; it's what I've been using.

After reading the radio -

Region is "NA"

Model Number : H56RDN9RA1AN - the model number on the back tag prefaces this with "AA".
Serial : 871TVDR189
Firmware : 871TVDR189

To me, it looks like a North American region model. If something here says otherwise, please enlighten me.

Bootloader is 2.09

 

[Kmiller238]

Serial numbers match between reading the radio and the back tags.

I contacted the company from whom I bought the radios, and they provided me with a copy of the CPS 16 they used to program them. This copy reads them with no issues at all.
