Midian Encryption
2.1
Encryption Module Compatibility
At the time of printing, the following Midian encryption modules are
compatible with encryption-enabled TM8000 and TOP radios.
■
Midian TVS2-Tait
■
Midian VPU12-Tait
For other Midian encryption modules, check with a Tait Service Centre, or

.
Important
Either module can be fitted to TOP or TM8000 radios
without modification. However, module snap-off sections
must not be removed
when fitting a module into a TM8000
radio, as these snap-offs include screw holes necessary to fit
the module. The snap-offs are removed for TOP applica-
tions.
2.2
Radio Hardware Compatibility
TOP Radios
The TOP Encryption Upgrade Flex PCB described in this manual is
suitable for use in most TOP 5000 radios (5010, 5020, 5035, 5040). The flex
can be retrofitted to most radio models, but this should first be verified by
providing the serial numbers to a Tait Service Centre for confirmation.
TM8000 Radios
At the time of printing, the TM8000 Encryption Options PCB described
in this manual is compatible with any TM8000 radio. However, the
TM8000 firmware must be upgraded to support the TA2434-0X
Encryption Options Board. For the current version, consult your Tait
dealer.
