For those really interested in techie articles on encryption in the Astro line, including ASaber, ASpectra and XTS3K. I found this PDF file while searching the web for all applicable AS3 info...it's a technical look at operating parameters and why the encryption modules, etc. do certain things at certain times.

Probably boring for the end user, but I learned a few things:

I started backing up and didn't even know the "CMVP" existed.

I was on Google, searching out "astro saber 3"

It's on the second page of the returns, at the bottom...

I found it to be interesting, and a co-worker who dealt with the stuff in the USCG praddled off a bunch off stuff to me also.

Just found the page containing info on the UCM for Astro Spectra and XTS5K:
