Don't forget the 4096-bit triple DES cryptographic protection of key need to prove you are who you are and your radio is your radio. And the annual subscription to a key management server too. <wink>

Actually, it will be called Flex-radio Genuine Authorization, and will ensure that your radio is set to match your license privileges as looked up in the FCC database(and Flex's database too). It will require a 10 Mbps internet connection because it will send your entire software image back and forth to validate it. It will check every N times you press the PTT or transmit on CW, with higher rates of checking on contest weekends (because the risk of out of band operation is higher). _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
