Perform CUE and ERF Late Net Entry (Special Operator Task 5)

DESCRIPTION

This task may be required when a radio has been out of the net for

some period. or has lost its sync time. The preferred action is to try

Passive Late Net Entry first (See Primary Operator Task 4). This method

requires the operator to load CUE and MAN frequencies, "cue" the

NCS in PT, repeat the "cue" until a response is received, switch

COMSEC to CT to receive the NCS response, use single channel

mode, and receive and store an ERF when it is sent. (A simpler method

of re-entering the net when the passive method does not work is the

Hot Start procedure (See Primary Operator Task 3.)
