How to use the DVP keyloader?

[poser]

My buddy brought a Saber II system and a keyloader. (battery is coming in for it)
The problem is, we have no idea how to upload a key and we're not even sure if our DVP XL loader will work with our DVP radios. Also, the instructions on the homepage don't seem to work. Thanks!

... we're not even sure if our DVP XL loader will work with our DVP radios.

The -xl loader won't work with a DVP module. Sorry.

If I get the XL modules, what would the steps be? (can't run PL tones, correct?)

Is it different for DVP?

I'm using a DX keyloader (T3011DX) which is a DES-XL model to load keys into regular DES (non-XL) radios with no problems.

Now if I had a non-XL keyloader, I would not be able to load a key into an -XL module.

Thanks! So if I follow the primer on encrypt, not use a PL tone, and not use 8-F on the KVL, I should be fine?

Believe it is different for DVP. My DES-XL KVL shows DES/DES-XL on the label while the DVP-XL KVL shows only DVP-XL. Never tried it but since you pose the question I'll give it a try this week.

Yes, it's 'either/or' for the DVP loaders. A DES-xl loader will work for DES or DES-xl. Confusingly, there's DES only loaders that won't work for DES-xl. It's pretty much as the Batlabs list reads:

Code: Select all

Key Variable Loaders

DVP (First Generation)        P1001BX
DVP CODE INSERTER T3010AX, T3010BX, T3010CX, T3010DX       
DVP-XL SECURENET T3014CX, T3014DX
DES T3020BX
DES/DES-XL SECURENET T3011AX, T3011BX, T3011CX, T3011DX     
DVI-XL SECURENET T3012AX

What do I enter when it asks for ID after punching in my key? Also, will PL tones being on cause a fail?
