Clear Modes
Aegis clear, ProVoice clear, and Voice Guard clear modes are identical voice
modes in which the radio transmits and receives only clear (analog) voice
signals. These analog signals are non-digitized and non-encrypted. Clear mode
transmissions can be easily monitored by unauthorized persons. Groups or
channels programmed for clear operation cannot transmit or receive
unencrypted digital or private messages.
AEGIS/ProVoice Digital Mode
Aegis/ProVoice digital mode allows the radio to transmit and receive digitized
voice signals. These digital signals provide improved weak signal
performance and they cannot be easily monitored with a standard receiver.
Groups and channels programmed for Aegis or ProVoice digital operation
transmit only digital signals. Private calls cannot be received or transmitted
