(1) Load the CUE frequency.
Look in the SOI and obtain the CUE
frequency. This is a single channel frequency and will be loaded into the
RT CUE channel using single channel frequency loading procedures. Your MODE
switch must be in SC and the FCTN switch in LD to load the CUE frequency.
CUE frequency should be loaded only when it is needed.
(2) To CUE the net, set your RT controls to; FCTN - LD, RF - HI
(manpack) PA (vehicular), CHAN - CUE, and MODE - SC.
(3) Turn the KY-57 to OFF, press the handset PTT for 4-6 seconds,
turn the KY-57 ON and press the PTT to clear the alarm.
When the NCS RT
receives the CUE signal the display will show "CUE" alerting the NCS that
you are attempting to contact the net.
(4) If someone is transmitting in the FH mode your CUE will not be
received.
If the NCS does not answer within 30 seconds, repeat the CUE
procedure. Continue to repeat the CUE procedures every 30 seconds until the
NCS responds.
UNKNOWN STATION THIS IS NCS C/S - OVER

NOTE
The NCS knows that you CUEd the net because you need a
Cold Start.
Therefore no other instructions are
necessary.
You will automatically set your RT
controls to receive an ERF from the NCS.
(5) The NCS will contact you on the MAN CHAN and conduct a normal
Cold Start net opening.
g. Respond to Close Down. The NCS will direct the net to close when
there is no further need for communications. Each net member must respond
to the directive. Monitor the net until ALL net members have responded.
