TK-3173 Scrambler

[sirEgghead]

Good evening,

I'm new to commercial radios. Someone gave us some TK-3173s. I enabled the scrambler mode on one to test it out and the radios not in scrambler mode could hear just fine. Even if I change the scrambler number. I did some digging around but I couldn't find much info. It seemed that the radio has an onboard scrambler and the option to purchase a scrambler add-on. Am I misunderstanding that I should be able to use scramble technology without additional cost? If not, what could I be doing wrong? I tried it via the buttons and also via programming. No luck.

Thanks!

That's called voice inversion.
Need show a screenshot of what you're changing. Also the test channel information (should show scrambler option on the page)

Good morning,

Thank you for the response. I haven't seen any reference to voice inversion in the program nor in the TK-3173 manual. Are the terms synonymous?

Below is a screenshot of the setting that I am questioning. On the radio, the "diamond" icon is present when it is active.

I found where the scrambler board optional board was selected in the product information. After removing that, the voice inversion technology seems to work properly in the test. So, I suppose that answers that question. Thank you for your assistance.
