Encryption Mute?

[gcopter1]

As I'm waiting later today delivery on a G4, I've already downloaded PPS vs 3.14.15, and, already prepared a "code-plug" for it.

Previously, I've read here on the forums, that, there has been a FW update to deal with encrypted talk groups.

I see no such thing in this PPS.

Question is, where would I find this feature on the PPS, or, is it something I would come across, once I connect my new G4 to this version of the PPS?

I've chosen a random version model so maybe, is this the reason why I don't see this on PPS?

FWIW, I've chosen a G4XXX model, from the drop down, taking care not to choose a DMR model, as this was not the model ordered, although, I don't think this has anything to do with that feature.

It's set per knob position (tab D5) - look for "Receiving Encrypted Voice Messages".

Right, but, when you read the parameter description, it does not say it will mute encrypted traffic coming across in a talkgroup?

It will ignore the transmission...

• When receiving an encrypted message:
  1.	Enable:
  	1a. If you do not have the encryption key, Pager will play unrecognizable data tones. 1b. If you have the encryption key, Pager will use the key to decrypt the voice and play the voice. 1c. If the encryption key is wrong, Pager will play unrecognizable data tones.
  2.	Disable(Default): Pager will ignore the received voice message
  This setting is only related to encrypted messages. Regardless of the setting, Pager will play the received unencrypted voice messages.

The english translation isn't great. Basically; if that option is enabled, it will attempt to play encrypted traffic, and if you don't have the right key to decrypt it, you will just hear garbled noises, but if you don't have that option enabled, it will not attempt to play encrypted traffic at all.

Yeah, I knew there had to be something lost in translation, the wording isn't too clear. Thanks to KevinC for pointing it out to me.
