I keep seeing the reference to MACE and R-revision firmware on eBay ads for APX radios. Can someone explain what that is?
At the heart of an APX radio lies the MACE security chip.
The MACE is an on-board radio encryption device providing cryptographic services for all voice and data communications. It also provides a secure environment for storing encryption keys via a hardened tamper-resistant chassis that’s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated.....
