All of the suggestions should work. I had a similar problem with no ASN in my kvl. Rather than spend to upgrade, I borrowed a keyloaded. Also the CKR issue is very important. Check to see how your set up.

I mounted mine in my F250 under the rear seat. I mounted the bracket onto a small piece of plywood. Then put a screw into the plywood sticking thru. It holds solid on the carpet, but I can pull it out from under the seat to reprogram, etc.

Yep, it was really simple. Lots easier than the XTS radios were. Thanks for the guidance. I also found an online manual. When this is new, it's kind of nerve racking.

I've got to install UCM in an Astro Spectra. I read online and discovered how to install UCM's in my XTS300's. I can't find much help anywhere on Spectras though. Anybody able to help me out? Pictures with detailed description would be awesome.

Alright I think I can summarize this correctly. 1. My Astro works great clear and encrypted digital. 2. Wide band analog can run encrypted using DES-XL. Although its ham freqs, so just a learning moment for me, experimentation. 3. Narrow band analog public service can't be encrypted. No digital is i...

My UCMs, which I put in a couple days ago are XL and Ofb. Not Dvl. Unless the I'm missing what's stated above, I shouldn't have any DVL. I've got their numbers but I cross checked them on the reference material here. Also, it's the narrow band pub safety I can't get to show encryption. I have Astro ...

I used to program our astro spectra, sabers and some 3000's at my job. Since I retired and haven't worked with them in a few years I'm stumped. I bought a couple for ham and FD/EMS. My issue is getting encryption programmed. I've got several Astro personalities programmed. No problems. I then have h...

Well I'm a newby registrant, but a many month lurker. I've got a few issues with some of my xts3000, so I thought I should join. Lots of knowledge here.
