APX radio is missing Rekey Menu Item on OTAR Capable channel


Symptom(s)

"REKEY" menu items is missing from the radio display selection.

Issue

When I select menu items from the display "REKY" it is not available. When I view in APX CPS, Radio Ergonomics Configuration, Controls, Menu Items, Selected, REKY is one of the items listed.

Environment

APX

OTAR

REKEY menu item

Resolution

All of the selections below must be made to see "REKY" in the display menu items.

OTAR transmissions include:  Rekey Requests and Delayed Acks.

"Secure Operation" field is set to "Hardware" OR "Software" and "Advanced Encryption Standard" (AES256) field is enabled. (if hardware  is enabled AES256 field is not visible as this choice requires a hardware key).

The OTAR Operation field is set to "Astro ONLY" or "ASTRO & MDC"

The "System Type" Field is set to "ASTRO 25"

From the "Trunking System", "Secure/Multikey" Section, "OTAR TX" should be checked, and "Astro OTAR Profile Index" should have a profile selected.

The "TRK-System" must also have a "Data Profile Selection" Selected.
