NOTES
It may be necessary to restrict the frequencies used by the SINCGARS radio to avoid interfer-
ence from other rf sources. This is done with “lockout” sets. If your display exhibits a display
“L7,“ “ L8,” or "L7 L8" you are missing mandatory lockout set(s). Check to be sure you
have the correct data in your fill device and perform a local fill to load the correct data into
your radio.
If your display reads “tod,” you are missing FH sync time. FH sync time must be loaded into
the NCS RT before cold start net opening.
Follow the steps below to accomplish a cold start net opening.
