now to become operational at a prescribed time. This procedure may

also be used when an individual operator has been out of the net for

any reason and wishes to re-enter the net without resort to the CUE

loading the radio with COMSEC keys, FH data, and sync time by use of

the ICOM fill procedure (Primary Operator Task 2); and calling the NCS

in secure, frequency hopping mode to request net entry.
