RECEIVING AN ENCRYPTED CALL
When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or digital
operation. If the transmission being received is an encrypted transmission, it
will be decrypted, the PVT light will flash, the receiver will unsquelch and the
message will be heard in the speaker. For this to occur, the selected channel
must be programmed for digital operation and the correct cryptographic key
must be loaded into the radio.
TRANSMITTING AN ENCRYPTED CALL
1. Select the desired channel.
2. Place the radio in digital mode by pressing the PVT button (flex key
, ). When digital mode is enabled, the PVT light will be on.
