TRANSMITTING A MESSAGE
1.
Select models - Select desired channel.

sired mode, channel, and/or Channel
Guard.
If the channel has been programmed for
digital operation, the radio will transmit
Aegis digital signals and it will receive clear
and Aegis digital signals.
Encrypt/decrypt optionally equipped radios:
If a channel programmed for private opera-
tion is selected and there is no key in the
radio for the selected channel "NO KEY x"
(where "x" is the key number) will peri-
odically flash in the display. If a transmission
is attempted, "NO KEY x" will show in the
display and the radio will emit a series of
beeps and will not transmit Scan and Sys-
tem models .
When private mode is enabled, the "PVT"
status flag in the display will turn on. Toggle
transmit operation to private or clear, as
desired, by pressing the PVT button (when
the menu mode is not enabled).If a channel
is not programmed for private mode opera-
tion, "PVT DIS" will momentarily show in the
display if an attempt is made to enable
private transmit mode. It is not possible to
operate on this channel in private mode. If
the radio is programmed for forced private
operation, "FRCD PVT" will momentarily
show in the display if an attempt is made to
disable private transmit mode. It is not pos-
sible to transmit on this channel in clear
mode.

Ensure no one is transmitting on the se-
lected channel by pressing the MONITOR
BUTTON to disable squelch or observing
the display for the absence of the "BSY"

feature is programmed for the selected
channel, the radio will not transmit when the
channel is busy.

and "BSY" status flags are displayed.
