Aegis Digital Mode
Aegis digital mode allows the radio to transmit
and receive digitized voice signals. Aegis digital
signals provide improved weak signal perform-
ance and they cannot be easily monitored with a
standard receiver. Groups and channels pro-
grammed for Aegis digital operation transmit only
digital signals and they can receive clear and
digital signals. In other words, with a certain group
or channel selected, the operator cannot change
from the digital transmit mode but the radio will
receive clear or digital signals. Private (encrypted)
messages cannot be received when the radio is
in Aegis digital mode.
Aegis Private And Voice Guard Private
Modes (Optional)
The Aegis private and Voice Guard private
modes allow the radio to transmit and receive
encrypted messages. To operate in these voice
modes, the radio must be equipped with the op-
tional encrypt/decrypt feature and the transmitting
and receiving units must have identical crypto-
graphic keys.
