That's the M5 connector, the M3 was the one used on Jedi/XTS radios and is different.

When encryption is enabled are SMS and GPS position transmissions encrypted, or just voice?

GPS is receive only. most likely the SMS is not encrypted like all the other Chinese DMR radios but I’m guessing.

With the exception of the tyt-uv390+ which does encrypt SMS.

Almost all ham equipment that has GPS is receive only. There are some HTs and many mobiles that can transmit via APRS, but they don't send signals back through any other special means.

I will say it is nice to see more HTs that are IP67 with USB-C charging. Makes it much easier to recharge in the field without having to lug around a bunch of spare batteries or a weird charger base.

Yes, the newest uv390(PLUS) model.   It is AES256 running in the mode AES/ECB/NoPadding on each data block.

We did a thread on this.   https://www.ar15.com/forums/outdoors/Update-to-TYT-MD-UV390/22-705717/

It's a commercial radio.  Perfectly fine to use AES256 with your licensed business frequencies.

China would love to become the hardware supplier for secure critical communication infrastructure.

Pretty much any MOTOTRBO-compliant radio allows for AES encryption. And there's a lot of them that have been imported. This isn't the first, and definitely not the last.

DMR allows encryption because the standard supports it, and I believe there are police in Europe who use it as their digital trunked solution (like our public safety does with P25). Tier III DMR is comparable to P25 systems in function.

What's interesting is that I'm seeing some incompatibility between radios when it comes to encryption (just in what I'm reading).

Yes. Depends upon standard. Typical DMR is RC4 only which is a joke for encryption, it's easily crackable (and has been for a while). Some use AES, mostly those that use the MOTOTRBO standard. Those that use the same standard, though, should have no issues talking to each other over encrypted channels.

Interesting....

The TYT UV390+ having SMS encryption is sure handy, but it doesn't look as durable as the HD2. Question being, is it better to have a lower end radio with SMS encryption, or a higher end with cleartext SMS?

You don’t use a Keyloader with DMR like p25 you use the CPS to load keys with DMR

For me the Proper multpin waterproof accessory/speaker mic port On the hd2 is more important than encrypted SMS also keep in mind from what I’ve read all the Chinese radio SMS are unreliable except the hyteras.

Buddy bought 2 and sent them back.

The spurious emissions is what he didn’t like.

Unsure if he used the aes functions.

No.  Don't ever use online cryptography if it matters.  Do you know who owns or runs that site, or if they log and sell the IP+password data?

You can download and run the same things locally (openssl), or just make up something with no pattern.

Logging IP and password data means precisely dick. There's virtually no one that could use that in an attack since it would require knowing who is behind a particular IP (and that's basically impossible since 99.9999% of home connections are essentially DHCP, and if you're doing mobile now you throw NAT into that mix as well) and I sincerely doubt they store that information beyond transactional purposes, ie what's needed to serve it to you.

Anywhere that's important for a TLA to monitor they've already got a backdoor into or an agreement with the service operator. This isn't one they care about.

Having worked in the cyber and network security field for many decades, I have opinions of my own.

Coming up with a random key that nobody knows on your own is simple.  Being lazy and sharing with an unknown 'service' on the internet defeats the whole purpose.

Here's who runs that 'service'.
