Indexed

(Secure Wide, Encryption Key List)

Enables indexing for the current Hardware (see Secure Operation) encryption key (record / row) within the Encryption Key List. Indexing allows for two unique sets of keys (Keysets) to exist within the radio. One Keyset exists in the Slot A field and the other exists in the Slot B field. Once Indexing is enabled for the current key (row/record), a second and unique encryption key is populated in the alternate Keyset "Slot B". Indexing also allows for two unique keys to exist per radio channel, instead of one key.

	When the Conventional Key menu-selection is programmed and when a pair of "Indexed" keys is selected for a certain channel, the radio-user is then able to alternate from the encryption key in Keyset A to the encryption key in Keyset B (and back) without changing the radio's channel. This is only possible for Conventional channels.
	When the Keyset menu-selection is only programmed on either Conventional or Trunking communications, then rekeying of the radio's current keyset is only possible on that type of communications channel. A Keyset does apply on a radio-wide basis and therefore to both types of channels.
	When both the Conventional and the Trunking Keyset selections are programmed, the radio-user can then change the Keyset for the entire radio, regardless of which channel the radio is currently operating.
	Only eight (8) keys can be indexed to Slot B, and only 16 keys total are possible between Slot A and Slot B.

when the Secure Operation field is set to "Hardware", and

when the PID Key Management for ASN Mode field is enabled, and

when the number of records in the Encryption Key List is less than 9, and

when the radio is model / option capable.
