CONVENTIONAL OPERATION
Outside Address
The same outside address (works similar to Channel Guard operation)
must be programmed in the transmitting and receiving radios when Aegis
digital operation is enabled. If address is not correct, the radios will not
communicate.
Channel Guard
Channel Guard encode is transmitted on analog, clear channels only.
Channel Guard decode will operate on either a clear or digital channel. The
exception is when GE•STAR signaling is used (see GE•STAR paragraph).
GE•STAR
When GE•STAR is programmed on a private channel, the radio will
transmit GE•STAR in clear mode and then switch to private for the voice

sent in clear mode and then radio switches to private mode. Emergency
GE•STAR data burst is transmitted in clear mode.
