Privacy
If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by unauthorized
users on a channel by the use of a software based scrambling solution.
The signaling and user identification portions of a transmission are not
scrambled.
Your radio must have privacy enabled on the channel to send a privacy-
enabled transmission, although it is not required for receiving a privacy-
enabled transmission. Your radio supports two types of privacy:
• Basic Privacy
• Enhanced Privacy
Only ONE privacy type above can be assigned to your radio.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your radio must
be programmed to have the same Privacy Key (for Basic Privacy), OR the
same Key Value and Key ID (for Enhanced Privacy) as the transmitting radio.
If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a different Privacy Key, OR a
different Key Value and Key ID, you will either hear a garbled transmission
(Basic Privacy) or nothing (Enhanced Privacy).
The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and blinks
green rapidly when the radio is receiving an ongoing privacy-enabled
transmission.
To make a private call:
1. Press [▲] or [▼] to navigate to Utilities and press [
VK
] to select.
2. Press [▲] or [▼] to navigate to Radio Settings and press [
VK
] to select.
3. Press [▲] or [▼] to navigate to Privacy and press [
VK
] to select.
4. The display shows Privacy and Turn On. Press [
VK
] to enable privacy.
The display shows Privacy On. If the Privacy was already on the
display shows Privacy and Turn Off. Press [
VK
] to disable privacy. The
display shows Privacy Off.
Note
: This feature is available only in digital mode.
