Most of those radios come with those encryption algorithms already enabled in the MACE from the factory. Clearly, however, there are no keys loaded. Even some tagless demo radios had some algos enabled. But when you see a tagless piece of junk radio with a whored-out flash code and five algos, it's ...

You're looking for a commercial license, then. (or stay with itinerant...which are good nationwide)

A standard FCC-issued technician or general amateur radio license and call sign is good nationwide.

You can only do it with the HMN4104 display RSM.

They've only posted the "with radio management" option. Wish they would remain consistent and post the one without.

You don't need a KVL for ADP. You set ADP keys in the code plug. The KVL is needed for hardware encryption.

Cheers,

ADP indeed works in analog, but it must be P25. It will not work in conventional analog.

Just confirming... are your P25 systems conventional or trunked? There's a "Conventional RSSI Display" setting under the "Features" section of each conventional personality. I could be wrong, but I don't think the RSSI display is valid for trunked systems. You have the signal st...

Does anyone know of the Impres Battery Data Reader works with Impres 2 batteries?

Yes, it does... there's a separate flash feature just like the portables do (in addition to requiring a separate GPS antenna, of course)

They also said that aside from the bluetooth mic adapter that goes in the GCAI connector, the mobiles don't support bluetooth. Why does my 4500 have a blue dot on the O2 head then? My 02 has the same blue dot. I'm assuming that to mean there's blue-tooth hardware built into the head (hence the larg...

I noticed that on our APX8000s that just arrived. Motorola engineer that I talked to stated it is normal to have a little play.

That's a multi part question. To stop it from showing a zone on the top display, don't set a top display zone name (which is limited to 8 characters anyway). This is in the Zone Channel Assignment screen for each zone (called "Top Display Zone") To show channel names, configure a top displ...

Should be OK.... grab a spare unit and test it.

Sounds like you have an ALT/DEV garbage radio. That was a notorious problem with them.

If you're a firefighter, you'll want gen 3 (better drainage, reduced freezing, etc). If not, the gen 1 or 2 will work just fine for you. Gen 1 doesn't have the bright LED that you can turn on/off. Gen 2 and 3 do. The easiest way to tell a Gen 3 from the others is the top emergency button has the dra...

You'll need to check your codeplug settings. There may be something there you need to configure for the GCAI connector on the radio to be used for audio in.

I received the extension cable yesterday. What do I change in the CPS to pass mic audio directly into the 110 watt drawer? Right now it only keys the transmitter, no audio.

Surely they aren't THAT concerned about the TRBO portfolio. Sure they are. It's enough to the point where they want to protect their market share in those verticals which favor the low-cost of DMR subscribers compared to the APX line.
