I have a customer that wants to install scramblers in 3 MCS2000 model 3 UHF remote mount 110 watt radios,one is a dual head.
I am looking at the Transcrypt’s SC20-430 flex installation,which I believe is legal in Canada.
The rep from EF Johnson technologies says it's a level 3 install ( 3 hours )
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this type of install.
Also,I'm looking for prices to have them installed.

- What radios do you own?: HT1250 I saved from the dump
Re: scrambler install question
I've installed Transcrypt boards in all types of radios, but the MCS2000 was by far the worst. I would recommend investing in some sort of hot air rework tool.
In the ones I installed, I had to replace parts on the Transcrypt boards themselves. What a nightmare!!! Of course it probably didn't help that I only had a couple of months of experience at my MSS before I tackled this project, but nothing else I have run into over the years has ever stuck in my memory the way those did.

Re: scrambler install question
Scramblers can easily be intercepted. I wonder why all the expense for such a system that can easily be intercepted with child's toys.

Re: scrambler install question
Please explain. How do you intercept a scrambled transmission, with more than 56,000,000,000,000,000 (quadrillion) code combinations (for the SC20-430), with a child's toy?

Hello:
Yes i was wondering how the the person was going to be able to unscramble a rolling code encryption myself.
Inversion scramblers i could see being easily decyfered if your willing to even put the time in to do.
With all radios on rolling codes and not knowing where one radio was in its code seqeunce versus others over time is pretty makes it pretty much impossible with the rate of code changes per second.
