Transmit Secure [SEC]
Channels programmed for selectable encryption can have “Transmit
Secure” programmed as a switch, button or menu item. The default
setting uses the collar switch to select Transmit Secure.
Ø = encrypted, O = clear
When SEC is on, encrypted channels programmed for switchable
encryption will transmit an encrypted signal.
NOTE: The SEC switch has no eect on channels programmed as
Encrypted Only or Clear Only.
Channels in the Ready-to-Transmit Encrypted mode will display the
symbol on the top line of the LCD.
Transmit Encryption Key Selection [KEY]
The radio can hold up to 64 DES or AES encryption keys. Each channel
is assigned a default key for transmit. The key can be locked to the
channel, or if programming allows, a transmit key other than the default
key can be selected from the radio’s Key Pick List.
To change an encryption key, open the KEY menu. Programmed key
labels will be displayed.
Select the desired key and press “ENTER”.
To return the key to the pre-programmed value select “Default”.
If a key is selected that has not been programmed, the radio will emit a
three beep tone and display “Key Fail” before going to standby mode.
The radio will not transmit but will beep and display “Key Fail” when
PTT is pressed.
User Selectable Encryption Keyset [KEYST]
OTAR equipped radios only.
Selecting a keyset from the Pick List will cause the radio to use
encryption keys from the selected keyset.
User selectable menu access can be assigned to a button or menu list
item.
To change the encryption keyset, open the KEYST menu. Programmed
Keyset labels will be displayed.
Select the desired keyset and press “ENTER”.
