If the Clear/Secure switch or menu parameter are
not programmed, the radio is always in the last known

For example, if the last known state is Clear and this

10.3.2 RECEIVE MODE OPTIONS
The following receive options can be
programmed with conventional operation. With
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked operation,
encrypted calls are received if the proper key is
programmed.

Analog Channels
When this feature is disabled and a message is
received with the wrong key, the audio unmutes
and garbled (encrypted) audio is heard. However, if
this occurs with this feature enabled, the audio
remains muted.

Digital Channels
When this feature is enabled and a message is
received with a different key, but the key resides in
the radio, the audio is decrypted and received
normally even though the key is assigned to a
different talk group. If this feature is disabled or the
key does not reside in the radio, the audio remains
muted.

10.3.3 TALK GROUP ENCRYPTION OVERRIDE
On conventional digital (P25) channels, the
encryption strapping mode and PID are programmed
on a per talk group basis similar to the trunked modes
(SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked). However,
with this mode only, there is the option to override the
talk group encryption programming and program it on
a per channel basis. Therefore, if desired on conven-
tional digital channels, encryption can be programmed
differently for each channel. Conventional analog
channel encryption is always programmed on a per
channel basis.

10.4 OTAR (OVER-THE-AIR REKEYING)
10.4.1 INTRODUCTION
OTAR stands for “Over-The Air-Rekeying”. This
is the process of sending encryption keys and related
key management messages over-the-air to specific
radios. The advantage of OTAR is that it allows these
keys to be quickly and conveniently updated when
