Privacy
If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by unauthorized

Communications

ID as the transmitting radio. If your radio receives a scrambled call that
is of a different Privacy Key Value and Privacy Key ID, you will hear a
garbled voice transmission.
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.
