GENERAL INFORMATION
VS-1200:
The VS-1200 is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based Frequency Domain voice scrambler offering a high level
of voice privacy. The DSP converts the analog signal into quantized digital data. It then converts the “Time
Domain” signal into the “Frequency Domain”. This results in an audio “frequency spectrum”, which is then
partitioned into bins that are encrypted by the non-linear key generator. The digitized data is converted back to
the analog realm using a digital to analog converter.
The above technique and the lack of synchronization result in excellent audio quality, high security and enable the
VS-1200 to be used in virtually any type of radio system. These systems include HF SSB, Conventional TwoWay, Trunking, Voting and Simulcast.
In addition to the scrambling functions the VS-1200 offers ANI and Emergency ANI encode in the following
formats:
• Motorola’s MDC-1200
• Kenwood’s FleetSync
• Harris’ G-Star (aka GE-Star)
• DTMF
• 5-Tone (all formats)
• Midian’s FMP (encode and decode) with auto descramble
VS-110 & VS-115:
Midian’s VS-110 is a rolling double inversion scrambler that offers 1020 possible codes (4 groups with 255 codes
per group). Of these codes the scrambler may be programmed with up to 4 of these codes. The VS-110 series is
compatible with Icom’s UT-110.
VS-1100 & VS-1150:
Midian’s VS-1100 is a double inversion scrambler (aka split-band scrambler) that offers 32 possible codes. Of
these 32 codes the scrambler may be programmed with up to 4 of these codes. The VS-1100 series is compatible
with Midian’s VPU-6, Icom’s UT-109 or Inysa’s XPTO.

VS-1000 & VS-1050:
Midian’s VS-1000 voice inversion scrambler provides an entry level of voice security for two-way radio
communications. The VS-1000 provides up to 4 different inversion frequencies that are button selectable. These
inversion frequencies are programmable using Midian’s MPS. The VS-1000 is compatible with Midian’s VPU
series voice inversion scramblers.
Note: For more information on Midian’s FMP and the VS-115, VS-1150 and VS1050 please see the VS-series
Technical Reference Manual.

PRODUCT PROGRAMMING
The VS-1xxx IC-1 is programmed using Midian’s KL-4F and the MPS software. Please reference the KL-4 manual
for setup instructions of the KL-4 hardware.
Go to our website midians.com and under downloads> software download the latest MPS software version. If
using the supplied CD-ROM insert it into the PC’s CD-ROM drive. In the browser that will pop-up, install the MPS
programming software. Be certain that the “Install KL-4 USB Driver” box is checked during the installation
process.
Open Windows’ Control Panel and go to Device Manager.
Open Ports (COM& LPT) to identify the port assignment issued by computer. Plug in the KL4 programmer to the
USB port and the screen will flash and show the device location.
Open the software and choose product from product tree then set appropriate comport selection in the MPS
software as needed. Set the parameters of the scrambler software to fit the application. If any clarifications on a
feature are required, move the mouse cursor over the feature name until the question mark appears and right
click, a definition of the feature will be shown.
After the latest MPS has been installed default programming files for specific radio models can be found at:
C:\Apps\Midian\MPS\MPS_vX_xx\Additional Default Files\VS-1xxx\Icom\VS-1xxx
After entering the parameters, save the file by going to File - Save As. Enter the file name in the File Name block
and click Save. Saving the file will allow for quick and easy reprogramming of units.
Programming: Plug the board onto the KL-4 P-2 connector. Push and hold the power button on the KL-4 and
click “Program Unit” in the MPS software. The LED on the KL4-F will flash if programmed successfully.
Reading: Plug the board onto the KL-4 P-2 connector. Push and hold the power button on the KL4 and click
“Read Unit” in the MPS software.
Note: The security pass phrases can use any 8-bit ASCII keyboard characters. These include the characters on a
typical English keyboard such as 0-9, A-Z (upper and lower case), *, #, @, $, etc. Spaces are also allowed.
Midian does not recommend using international language character such as ñ, ä, ß, ü, é, etc. as these have not
been tested. Please also note that the pass phrases are case sensitive.
Important Note: Do not attempt to ‘clone’ the scrambler by reading one and then programming another. When
the scrambler is read, the pass phrases will be read out as “<undefined>”. If another scrambler is then cloned
with this information, the scramblers will be incompatible because they have different pass phrases. To ensure
scramblers communicate with each other, program them from a saved file.
