DEFINITION

TERM

Feature of hopset that precludes use of selected frequencies: also

Lockouts

used to expand the number of frequencies contained in a hopset.

SC frequency and designated channel used for transmission and

Manual channel/frequency

receipt of ERFs during cold start net openings; may also be used

for normal SC channel.

Configuration consisting of RT battery, battery box, antenna,

Manpack radio

handset, and carrying case; carried on the back of the operator for

dismounted operations.

Single designated station per net requiring use of the FH-M mode

Net control station (NCS)

position and performance of net control tasks: assisted and

supported by designated alternate NCS stations as warranted by

operational requirements.

Three-digit number from 000 to 999 designating specific nets

Net identification (ID)

within a given TSK.

All net stations other than the NCS and designated alternate NCSs.

Net members

Feature allowing SC frequencies to be changed by plus of minus

Offset

5 or 10 KHz to reduce the effect of enemy jamming or other

interference.

Procedure by which TEK may be electronically transmitted from

Over-the-air-rekey (OTAR)

NCS to NCS, or from NCS to net members.

New data mode in which data messages are divided into frames

Packet

smaller than 1800 bytes each for processing over SINCGARS

voice/data nets. The packet data mode (PCKT) can be used only

with the FBCB2 hardware and software system.

RT random access memory (RAM) location where data is stored

"Permanent" memory

and used; data in "permanent memory may be retrieved if desired;

retention of data in "permanent" memory depends upon main

power or HUB battery.

Hand-held device providing GPS time for use as sync time

Precision lightweight GPS

in SINCGARS radios.

receiver (PLGR)

Those operator and NCS tasks which are essential to adequate job

Primary tasks

performance.

Feature of SINCGARS radio that enables SC or FH traffic to

Retransmission (RXMT)

automatically pass from one RXMT RT to another, thus increasing

the effective range to that of two radios.

Feature of SINCGARS radio that search all SC channels for traffic;

Scanning

cannot be used in the FH mode of operation.

Procedure by which a TEK may be move from one RT channel to

Scrolling

another; does not apply to key stored in channel 6.

Mode of communication using one designated frequency.
