Secure communications
Secure mode is a macro that toggles two optional features of the 6110-MP radio, digital voice and
voice/data encryption. By default, the secure macro will:
• activate and deactivate AES-256 encrypted digital voice and data; or
• if encryption is not available, activate and deactivate digital voice if available; or
• activate CES-128 encryption if available.
Digital Voice
When enabled on your radio, the Standard Digital Bundle (Codan Part Number: 15-10624) enables
Digital Voice. Digital Voice overcomes the potential poor voice quality that comes as a result of
atmospheric effects and interference from other equipment and transmissions. Digital Voice
brings clarity to voice communications over HF by removing the background noise that is typical
with an analogue signal. Check with your HF Network Administrator to find out if Digital Voice is
enabled on your radio.
Encryption
When enabled on your radio, encryption allows you to send secure digital voice and data over HF
using a shared key. Two types of encryption are available, AES-256, which comes with the
Advanced Digital Bundle (Codan Part Number: 15-10625) and CES-128 (Codan Part Number:
15-10642-000). Check with your HF Network Administrator to find out if encryption is enabled on
your radio.
Switching Secure on and off
DV and encryption are toggled on and off using the same key. To toggle Secure on and off:
• From the operational screen, press to toggle digital voice/encryption
Selecting a secure key
The selection of a secure key is only available when the AES-256 or CES-128 Sales Option has
been enabled.
