2.6 Testing the Midian Encryption Module
With encryption off:
■ Check normal power-up of the radio, with the normal display messages
and confirmation tones.
■ Check that receive and transmit audio are functioning, using a service
instrument or another radio on the same channel.
With encryption on:
■ Check that receive and transmit audio are functioning, using another
TM8000 or TOP radio with the same encryption module, programmed
with the same codes, on the same channel.
■ Confirm encryption is active (where a hopping code module is fitted) by
listening for the initial sync burst on the receiving radio
■ Confirm encryption is active (where an inversion code module is fitted)
by pressing any function key - the confidence tone will be a higher
frequency than normal.
■ Check the Encryption User Interface features – status indicators,
encryption settings etc. (See the TOP Encryption User’s Guide
information provided on page 24, or TM8000 User Information on
page 53.)
