3.2 Using Key Groups

The KVL provides a convenient feature called key groups. This feature allows you to associate several keys stored
in the KVL memory with a specified group name. You can then load the entire group of keys to the target device
in a single operation. This is especially useful when loading the same group of keys to several target devices,
such as a fleet of radios.
The KVL supports the existence of up to 20 groups at a time, with each group consisting of 16 keys (TEKs, KEKs,
or a combination of both). If there are fewer than 20 groups, a group can consist of more than 16 keys, limited
by the KVL memory capacity.
