Ok. I'm looking through Ebay for some HT1000 radios to replace my Visars. I see some that list a connector for the scrambler board/AVS. I'm *assuming* that it is an analog scrambler that allows scrambled communications with other similarly equiped radios, correct?

Is that controlled via RSS, and is it on a channel by channel basis? I haven't been able to find out much about it.

Is there a way of telling if this option is supported in an HT1000 by checking the model number of the radio?

Thanks!

C and D revision radios are capable of accepting Motorola's analog voice scrambling advantage boards. The AVS uses specific RSS
but this one is 'reasonable' in cost compared
to the other RSS programs ($59.) last time I checked. Not as secure as digital scrambling
but you don't need a keyloader or keyloader cable either (BIG $$ savings) + the analog scrambling will work thru a repeater.
Hope this helps.

Cool - any idea what the AVS boards go for (roughly)?
