Erasing Encryption Keys With A Keyloader
It may be desirable to erase the encryption keys contained in a P-2000 transceiver. For example, prior to sending the
unit in for service. This can be accomplished as follows.
• Ensure you are on the HOME PAGE, and the cursor is on an encryption capable channel.
• Press the PROG button. If prompted, enter the password #1 (In the system programming, the user has the
option of eliminating this password by setting it to “0000”)
• When prompted, enter the password #2 and the Transceiver Setup page will be displayed as below:
• In the XCVR field, select which transceiver (FM1 or FM2) to erase keys.
• Highlight the START option and press the enter button to erase the encryption keys.
• Press the HOME button several times to return to the HOME page. Verify keys have been erases by attempting
to transmit on an encryption channel with PVT on. The transceiver will provide an audio tone to indicated
encryption keys have been erased. As an alternative, use the XTS-EMULATION page for that transceiver and
visually verify keys have been erased.
