Activating Encryption
P25 radios have the ability to use DES or AES
encryption. To enable encryption, you will need a
CKR (Common Key Reference). The KVL 3000
Plus key loader from Motorola creates this key.
Obtaining a CKR from the KVL 3000 Plus
Keyloader
Keyloader
The following operation is for AES and DES
upgraded radios. A newly upgraded radio will not
encrypt/de-encrypt until you load a new CKR (also
known as TEK—Traffic Encryption Key) to the
radio.
▒ Important: Not all KVL 3000 Plus keyloaders work
▒ with APCO P25 encryption. When the keyloader is
▒ powered up, the display will show ASTRO ® 25 if
▒ it can be used for P25 encryption.
Entering a New CKR (TEK) into the KVL
Using the soft keys just below the display in the

right arrows (◄ or ►), if the KVL is enabled for both
algorithms. Otherwise, proceed to step 6.
Press the soft key to Accept.
