The XTS series have a Universal Crypto Module (UCM) and Keyboard/option board combo. Normally without hardware crypto, they will have the keyboard only option board, and the part numbers vary base on the model type (1.5,2,3).

The above crypto parts are listed in the "Security Policy:Astro Subscriber UCM" Guide. Some part descriptions are an inference on my part as I've not seen them, they are designated with a ?. If something is wrong, please update it.
It's my understanding any of the UCM's can do any algorithms, they just need to be programed via a KVL3000+ or later keyloader.
The different model UCM's are the same, but lacking the Snaptron keys and polyester tape to hold them in. The LED's are missing in the 1.5 version as well, but the dropping resistors are present. This is due to the backlight for the LCD being sourced from the keypad. The CPU will simply tell the Keypad backlight on, and the keypad will take care of the rest.
Note the dim listed parts are for use with night vision, and will appear to be not working in daylight and barely visible at night. I've experimented with these and have reverse engineered a better soultion below.

Modification of Dim to Normal
There are a few UCM boards made for night vision equipment, and I reversed how to make these brighter by studying a couple good boards. It's basically some current limiting resistors and a regulator. In the dim UCM there is an addition of a 5v regulator which powers the LEDs rather than being powered via the B+ voltage of 7.5 volts.
I've reverse engineered the partial diagram of the dim UCM below. It's also available as a pdf.
First the MAX1615 5v regulator needs to be removed and jumpered out. This will put B+ (7.5v) on the LED's vs 5v.
The following resistors need to be changed, note they are 0402 size parts:
| LED resistors | ||
| Number | Dim | Bright |
| R18 | 560 | 330 |
| R27 | 560 | 330 |
| R63 | 560 | 330 |
| R45 | 560 | 330 |
| R9 | 6800 | 560 |
| R10 | 6800 | 560 |
| R11 | 6800 | 560 |
| R12 | 6800 | 560 |
I've experimented and most of the improvement comes from changing the LCD resistors (R9-R12). The difference of the limiting resistors on the keypad LED's is not as noticeable as the 5 to 7.5v on them.

notes
I've been informed there is another modification out there being sold. This modification simply jumpers the B+ to the 5v output of the regulator. This means whenever the backlight is on the regulator is going to be fighting and possibly overheating. The regulator is going to burn up eventually and/or the flex cables will overheat. I've measured upwards of an 1200 ma of current draw when the backlight is on in these improperly modified radios.
