If the transceivers you (and others in your communi-
cation group) are using are equipped with an after-
market Encryption Module, the Encryption mode may
be activated by pressing the
[
ENCR
]
key. The
“ ” icon will become illuminated.
To de-activate encryption, press the
[
ENCR
]
key
again.
If the signals of all the other stations in your commu-
nications group have a severely distorted or
“scrambled” sound, you may have accidentally de-
activated your transceiver’s encryption mode. Press-
ing the
[
ENCR
]
key may allow recovery. However, if
only one station in your communications group sounds
distorted or “scrambled,” it is possible that the encryp-
tion mode of that transceiver may have been acciden-
tally turned off. Either the dispatcher or you may ad-
vise the other station by switching your encryption off
and calling the other station in the non-encrypted mode.
Remember that your transmissions will be sent in a
non-encrypted format, and will thus not be secure; limit
your discussion to a brief advisory regarding the
[
ENCR
]
key on the other station’s transceiver, then
revert to encrypted operation immediately by press-
ing the
[
ENCR
]
key on your transceiver.
