Scrambler; Transceiver Backlight - Kenwood TK-2170 Instruction Manual

S
CRAMBLER
Although the scrambler function does not offer complete
privacy, it does prevent others from easily listening in on your
calls. When activated, the transceiver distorts your voice so
that anybody listening to your conversation will not be able to
clearly hear what you are saying.
In order for members of your own group to hear your call
while you are using the scrambler, all members must activate
the scrambler functions on their transceivers. This distorts
everybody's voice while transmitting and corrects the voice
message on your own transceiver when you receive the call.
To activate the scrambler, press the key programmed as

Scrambler.

• The icon appears when the scrambler is active.
To deactivate the scrambler, press the Scrambler key again.
Note:
◆ There are 2 options for using the scrambler. Your dealer can
activate or deactivate the built-in scrambler function of the
transceiver, or they can add a more secure optional scrambler
board to your transceiver. Ask your dealer for details.
◆ The scrambler does not function while operating in SmarTrunk
Trunking mode {page 18}.
