Why does arfcom not want me to have money?
Photo looks like it might be the same pin set as the TYT-2017 radio?? Attached File |

It uses the Motorola m3 plug (legacy hd1 accessories are the same)

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

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. |

That’s pretty cool. Surprised the gov allowed them to import this. Heck I’m surprised China allowed them to make it

Heck I’m surprised China allowed them to make it View Quote 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. |

Might be a good radio but that generic Chinese font..

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

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. |

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? |

View Quote 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. |

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. |

No doubt.
I don't need a computer or a website to just randomly write "3AH6G2BB1........" |

I'm about the pull the trigger on one of these. Anyone have one yet? I'd be interested to hear some thoughts. 1 Amazon review talks about spurious emissions....

Sent mine back to Amazon....I didn't care for it.

Its their other model. I put the TYT in the kydex shell, and then into a pouch. Protect the ptt button, speakermic connection, etc.
