Operating the transceiver

80 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual

Using the voice encryptor

The voice encryptor is an optional feature that provides high-grade security for voice

communications. This feature uses Secure Keys, Secure Modes, and PINs to provide

various levels of secure communications.

In order to communicate securely between two stations, both stations must use the same

Secure Key. The voice encryptor may be programmed with multiple Secure Keys, any

one of which may be selected. In addition to the Secure Keys, the voice encryptor

provides a PIN facility, which temporarily varies the level of security on the key for a

private session.

For secure communications within your organisation you need to set up a Corporate key

that is common to all transceivers in your organisation. If you need to have secure

communications with other organisations operating the same type of equipment as yours,

you can use the fixed Global key that is common to all voice encryptors shipped from the

factory. The Global key provides secure communications, however the security is less

than that provided by a Corporate key. The PIN facility may also be used with the Global

key to improve the level of security.
