The diagram below shows a typicalradio system comprising portable radios, mobile radios, base stations or repeaters and an OTAR(Over-the-Air Reprogramming) programming station.Whether or not a radio transmission is encrypted is the user’s choice. When the encryption modeis selected, the radio sends and receives encrypted calls to and from other radios with compatibleencryption module and settings (keys or codes). However, even when encryption is not selected,an encryption-enabled radio will always decode encrypted communication from any radio withcompatible modules and settings.When modules or settings are incompatible, communication is reduced to unintelligible noise.3.1 ConfigurationBoth encryption modules and radios have many settings which affect encryption. You will needto refer to the installation and programming manuals provided with all your encryption hardware.This manual describes how to connect your hardware for setup, testing and maintenance, butdoes not describe how to determine the settings you should use.
