Selects the secure encryption key to be used during Patch Talkgroup communications while operating in secure encrypted mode. Patch Talkgroups allow a dispatcher to join multiple talkgroups or users together so that all may communicate as one talkgroup. This selection applies for the current Trunking System.

When the ASTRO OTAR field is "Enabled" for the current Trunking System, this Key Select value is chosen from the Secure Hardware Encryption Key References List of the Secure KMF Profile selected in the KMF Profile Index field for the current Trunking System.

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 List's Keys from the Hardware Key Reference field.

When the ASTRO OTAR field is "Disabled" for the current Trunking System, this Key Select value is directly chosen from the Secure Wide Window's  Encryption Key List.
