P824 Encryption Help

[EncryptedTech]

I was asked by a customer if their radio could do a surrounding towns encryption. They have ADP and so does the other town. I have the keys and all the info, if it was a APX i would be done in 2 mins. I have no idea how to add the info to the radio, can any one please help??

If your customer does not explicitly have permission to monitor that town's encrypted traffic, permission granted in writing by a responsible authority with that town who HAS the authority to grant it, then it would be a Felony for you to provide the key to your customer or for your customer to listen to that encrypted traffic.

You have not even stated if the customer's radio has the ADP option. If there is such an option for it.

Thanks I understand how the permission works, not at all what i was asking. I added it to all the APX radios, but the detectives have the vertex because its smaller and I cant find where to add the key. I was thinking it could be something like expert mode or basic mode type thing but i don't see it. I stated they have ADP and so does the other town. So yes the radios have the ADP option because they obviously monitor their own traffic.

Vertex radios do not support ADP encryption.

That helps, so I think I made some progress. I added the ADP key to the KVL and assigned it a AES CKR like you do to add ADP keys to APX radios strapped to hardware, but how do I add the SLR number? I have 1 currently assigned and the others all show ----. I cant try key loading it, I don't have any vertex cables for my KVL. I only have moto cables, going to have to order the cable.

As per Motorola's own spec sheet for the Vertex VX-P820 series radios, it does not support ADP. You will not be able to keyload ADP into a radio that does not support it no matter what cable and software you use.


If it does support ADP then the spec sheet on the radio is wrong. I tend to doubt that it is.

I only have DES encryption, as an option, in my VX-P824 VHF radios. I agree with ElroyJetson; ADP won't fit.
