Re: APX8000 Encryption Unmute
I actually did finally figure it out. The digital modulation in the trunked system was set to C4FM and not CQPSK. Once I got that corrected it worked just like it was supposed to. I'm guessing we were missing a lot more, but we just happened to notice it on the encrypted talk groups because that's w...

I'm not sure if this topic goes here, but here's my question. I'm looking at getting a KVL for my department. I have a quote for a 4000 but someone told me I should wait for the 5000 to come out because there has been issues with the 4000. Does anyone know if/when the KVL5000 is going to be released?
