ENCRYPTED MESSAGE - If the trans-
mission being received is an encrypted
transmission and the selected group is
programmed for private operation and
the correct cryptographic key is loaded

squelch, the "PVT" status flag will flash
and the private message will be heard in
the speaker. The radio automatically
switches between clear or private opera-
tion when it is receiving on a group or
channel programmed for private opera-
tion.
