It has a standard connector for the keyloader for loading the P/Y crypto keys since it can simulate the P/Y signal too. Obviously coming by one of these keyloaders if you are not government might be a bit problematic, though I suppose the thing without keys is not classified per se... I have no idea of whether it would be possible to load random keys in (that met the parity check) and also load them into a GPS to match, I suspect the tapes from NSA are in a specific format not published outside the classified world, however. Obviously loading the current real working set would be very hard, but not necessary for many evil uses of this thing since C/A receivers ignore the actual P/Y code and wouldn't know the difference and not very many P/Y receivers are in circulation. Of course it isn't clear to me what percentage of an entire 10 channel GPS simulator the box advertised actually is.... -- Dave Emery N1PRE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] DIE Consulting, Weston, Mass 02493 "An empty zombie mind with a forlorn barely readable weatherbeaten 'For Rent' sign still vainly flapping outside on the weed encrusted pole - in celebration of what could have been, but wasn't and is not to be now either." _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
