In order for both ASTRO OTAR and MDC OTAR receive capability on the same channel, the Rx Voice / Signal Type field must be set to "Mixed Mode". ASTRO OTAR takes precedence over MDC OTAR, however, if MDC OTAR is received, the radio will first try to respond with MDC OTAR.

When this ASTRO OTAR Enable field is "Enabled" for the current Conventional Personality, Hardware Key Select values for this Personality use the Secure Hardware Encryption Key References List of the Secure KMF Profile selected in this KMF Profile Index field for the current Conventional Personality.

DotRed.png Be aware that the CPS is actually pointing to the Keys of the Encryption Key List for this selection; individual Keys from the Secure Hardware Encryption Key References List reference the Encryption Key List's Keys from the Hardware Key Reference field.

When this ASTRO OTAR Enable field is "Disabled" for the current Conventional Personality, Hardware Key Select values are directly chosen from the Secure Wide Window's Encryption Key List.
