than 4 seconds (plus or minus), but less than one minute, different from

net sync time. Passive late net entry enables an individual operator to

re-enter the net without action on the part of the NCS or other net

operators. This task makes use of a feature built into the SINCGARS

radio and involves but two steps: placing the RT in passive late net

entry mode; and waiting for the radio to adjust its sync time to that of the

net. When this method of late net entry does not work, the Hot Start

procedure or CUE and ERF method of late net entry should be used.
