MultiKEY
The multikey feature allows your radio to be equipped with as many as 16 
different encryption keys and supports up to two different encryption 
algorithms simultaneously (for example, DVP-XL™ and DES-XL, or 
DVP™ and DVP-XL).
• Multikey — The encryption keys can be tied (strapped), on a one-
per-channel basis through radio service software. In addition, you 
can have operator-selectable keys, operator-selectable indices, and 
operator-selectable key erasure.
• Trunked Multikey — If you use your radio for both conventional 
and trunked applications, you will have to strap your encryption keys 
for trunking on a per- talkgroup or announcement-group basis. In 
addition, you may strap a different key to other features for example, 
dynamic regrouping, failsoft, emergency talkgroup, or emergency-
announcement group.
