Do not press [SEND] until net members acknowledge readiness to receive the AK OTAR

** Alternate NCS keeps radio on o/d TEK and KEK, sends AK OTAR to net members who

missed original transmission as contact is established. If Alternate NCS has a second radio, new

TEK should be loaded into that radio for monitoring of net traffic after original AK OTAR is sent.

** For ASIP: The sent key is automatically placed in the radio Temp Register and applied to the

operational channel. This allows instant communication on new TEK, NCS simply changes

channel out, then back into operational channel to contact any operator who did not receive the

AK. The in/out step places NCS RT back to original TEK.

*** Load new TEK into operational channel because that is where it is stored in net members'

radios.
