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 this
is not a necessary requirement for receiving a
transmission. While on a privacy-enabled channel,
the radio is still able to receive clear (unscrambled)
transmissions.
Your radio supports two types of privacy:
• Basic Privacy.
• Enhanced Privacy.
Only one of the privacy types above can be assigned
to the 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 at all (Enhanced Privacy).
Note:
This feature is not applicable in Citizens Band
channels that are in the same frequency.
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.
You can access this feature by performing one of the
following actions:
• Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle
privacy on or off.
• Using the Radio Menu as described by the steps
described next.
