Tactical Inhibit Kill Operation

When the radio has been enabled to receive (Decode) or transmit (Encode) a Tactical Inhibit Kill command, either "Clear" or "Secure" Encryption may be selected in the Packet Data Secure / Clear Strapping field.

Selections are only valid when the referenced Conventional System selected in the ASTRO System field has a valid referenced Data Profile selected that has its Packet Data Mode field set to "Direct", and has its Auto Generate IP Address field and its Auto Generate Target IP Address field "Enabled".

For the "Encode" or "Decode & Encode" selections to be valid, the Tx Voice / Signal Type field must be set to "ASTRO".

SELECTIONS:

DEFINITIONS:

Disabled

Transmitting or receiving Tactical Inhibit Kill commands is not possible on the current Conventional Personality.

This selection is always valid.

Decode

Enables the radio to receive a Tactical Inhibit Kill command. The over-the-air Kill command is initiated with a Kill menu-selection (see the "Encode" selection). A radio-user may also self-inflict a Kill command to his or her radio using the ""Direct Kill"" method. A radio-user Direct Kill is accomplished by pressing the radio’s "Top (Orange) Button" and "Side Top (Select) Button" simultaneously. The feature applies only while operating in ASTRO Signaling mode and when on the current Conventional Personality.

Do not program Channel Up, Channel Down, Zone Up, Zone Down, Zone Bank Up or Zone Bank Down on the "Side Top (Select) Button", as this will prevent the radio-user from activating "Direct Kill".

Encode

Enables the radio to transmit a Tactical Inhibit Kill command to a specific radio or group of radios. The over-the-air Kill command is radio-user initiated with a Kill menu-selection. Only radios programmed to decode this Kill command are in fact Killed (see the "Decode" selection). Targeted radios are selected (by the radio-user) from the ASTRO Call Hot List or by a direct entry of an ASTRO System, Radio ID (from the radio’s keypad). The feature applies only while operating in ASTRO Signaling mode and when on the current Conventional Personality.

The initiating radio-user must successfully enter the CPS-defined Tactical Inhibit Encode Password in order for the radio to transmit the Kill command.

Decode & Encode

Tactical Inhibit Kill commands may be received (see the "Decode" selection) and transmitted (see the "Encode" selection) on the current Conventional Personality.
