Is it possible/common for someone to have ordered an ASTRO Saber flashed for Hardware Multikey Operation (H869/W969), but not include the corresponding hardware module?

In other words, should a radio with a (legit) Flash including multikey operation include an encryption module, assuming it hasn't been removed?

It would be stupid to order that feature and not equip the radio. However, I'm sure if you pay for it, or want to - they would be happy to equip it.

It's a stupid combination, I agree, but I also discovered long ago that many, many people do stupid things on a consistent basis.

What I'm actually wondering about is what's 'in the field'--has anyone seen such a Flash without the hardware module?

Yes - but only from people removing it... 9/10 it is a good indication that there is a module of some sort in there - Multikey is a very expensive option.

A more common problem is radios equipped with hardware UCM's that arent flashed for any algos.. (A blank secure board is only $200 or so whereas each alog is around $800 IIRC)

I found that way funnier than I should have. I think I'm spending too much time on here.

Nah it was just damn funny! You gotta admit timing is everything and that took the cake!
