KNG Mobile Operation
Rekey Request [RKEY]
OTAR equipped radios only.
On radios equipped with over-the-air rekeying (OTAR), a radio user can manually
request an encryption rekey from the Key Management Facility (KMF).
For a radio to receive encryption keys or keysets over-the-air, the selected channel
must be designated as an OTAR channel via PC programming. Refer to your PC
programming documentation for more information.
To request a re-key:
Open the Rekey Request menu.
Press the “YES” button to Request Keys, or press “ESC” to cancel the operation.
If the “YES” button is pressed while on a channel that has not been marked as an
OTAR channel, the radio will beep and “NON-OTAR” will appear on the display.
If a successful rekey occurs, a tone will sound, and the display will momentarily show
“REKEYED”.
