Kenwood TK-3160 instruction manual Scrambler

SCRAMBLER

Whereas the Quiet Talk and Digital Quiet Talk functions (page 22) allow you to ignore unwanted calls, Scrambler allows you to hold a conversation in complete privacy. When activated, any other party listening in on your channel will be unable to understand your conversation. The transceiver scrambles your voice so that anybody listening to your conversation will not be able to understand what you are saying.

In order for members of your own group to understand your call while you are using the Scrambler, all other members must also activate the Scrambler on their transceivers. This scrambles everybody’s voice while transmitting and descrambles the voice message on your own transceiver when you receive the message.

To activate the Scrambler, press the key programmed as Scrambler.

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 he/she can add a more secure optional scrambler board to your transceiver. Ask your dealer for details.
