(Do you have the correct hopsets, lockout sets,
COMSEC keys, cold start TSK, CUE frequency and MAN frequency?)
Stand by for net opening (the NCS contacts you). Make sure you can
establish communication on each net you are operating in.
NET OPENING
Your rt needs special data to operate in a frequency hopping (FH) mode. Net
opening is the procedure for loading this data. Always keep in mind that your
NCS directs net opening and that you must listen to his commands carefully.
There are two procedures for net opening: (1) cold start net opening and (2)
time hack net opening.
The NCS will tell you which one to use. If Net is to
be opened in CT, refer to the BASIC COMSEC PROCEDURES in this section (pages
J-n to J-13.
COLD START NET OPENING
NOTE: The following steps are designed for net members. Detailed NCS
procedures are provided in manual TM 11-5820-890-10-1 Chapter 4.
