Conduct Cold Start Net Opening (Primary NCS Task 4)
DESCRIPTION
The Cold Start net opening procedure has for most units been replaced
by the simpler, less demanding, Hot Start method covered in Primary
NCS Task 3, above. The Cold Start method remains an option for NCSs
to use if desired.  The Cold Start net opening procedure requires
operators to load their radios with COMSEC keys and FH data, but not
sync time. Sync time is passed electronically from the NCS to net
members by ERF. Coordination is essential to ensure that all operators
are ready when the ERF is sent and that they properly store the data.
While the Cold Start method works, experience has shown that
coordination requirements and operator actions make it a more
demanding process than the Hot Start method. It is available for use
whenever an NCS needs to bring all operators into the net at the exact
same time.
