Bypass module for Motorola Spectras?
Is there any such thing as a bypass module, or bridge, or patch, or cables that will allow common use of Motorola Spectras that have been configured for secure net? I have read discussions on this forum of enabling "common" use, but as a novice I'm not sure I could follow the instructions. Or how about a fee for this service? at least to show me how?

No such module or cable is necessary. If your particular Spectra is equipped for SecureNet operation (SecureNet carrier board installed), all you need to do is remove the board and disable SecureNet functionality through the RSS.deitra wrote:Is there any such thing as a bypass module, or bridge, or patch, or cables that will allow common use of Motorola Spectras that have been configured for secure net?

Same thing applies if your radio doesn't have the module installed. Just make sure SecureNet isn't enabled.

The only radios that I am aware of that has the Bypass Module requirement would be the analog Sabers and Systems Sabers that were secure capable. Granted all it did was put a jumper between 2 pins, but it was required if you did not have a secure module in the radio.

As KC7GR already posted above, just disable the option with RSS, Radio Service Software. If you dont have the software, you will have to buy it, or acquire it, or take the radios to a dealer with the RSS to disable the option for you. Its very simple, really.

What Mancow has stated can be worded a little different. I have not been able to get around the RSS programming to shut off the secure box without the secure box being connected.
If anyone has done this, please let the board know the steps needed to be taken to do this. It is a pain to try and locate a secure box and the cables needed just to shut it off in the RSS.

[quote="mancow"]Do you mean you need to get a unit working without an external secure box and you don't have the ability to reprogram it to disable secure?
If so, it probably isn't going to happen. The radios talk to the external boxes on the data bus line and error when they are missing.

Secure box.
Hello.
So, what you need is the secure box, Correct?
I would recommend you contact a Motorola MSS.
Failing that, I have the secure unit, if you are in Houston Texas.
I do not ship crypto.
