Using encryption
To make communications with other users on your system
completely private, your radio may be able to encrypt outgoing
calls, using a confidential encryption code. The radio receiving your
call must have the same active encryption code before it can
decipher your encrypted call.
If encryption is available on your radio, appears in the display.
When you change encryption settings, the encryption status
indicator may also briefly appear in the display, along with the
active encryption code.
