These digital signals provide improved weak signal performance and they cannot be easily monitored with a standard receiver. Groups and channels programmed for ProVoice digital operation transmit only digital signals. Private calls cannot be received or transmitted when the radio is in ProVoice digital mode because the radio does not know the cryptographic key used.

  • Page 52: Private Operation

    MM23016, Rev. C • If Private mode is disabled and a private call is received, the Reply transmission will be in Private mode if the transmission is made during the scan hangtime.
