The rest of the instructions, under the heading "Configuring a Radio for Access Point Use", tell you only to set the SSID and frequency band. The security remains disabled under AP mode.

Alan,

Because of your competence in such matters, I hate to disagree. But... It works just fine in AP mode when the WPA-AES is left on. You only have to enter your passphrase into the driver's station (and development station, if separate) and it works like a charm. This is our development configuration at Lecanto HS.

Nowhere did I see where WPA-AES was optional. The section it was in is titled "Configuring a radio for Competition:".

Regards,

Mike
