TM 11-5820-890-10-3GLOSSARYTERMDEFINITIONbattery lifeApproximate rating of how much energy a battery can de-liver before its useful life is finished.channelCircuit In RT In which a frequency and/or hopset can beloaded and stored.cold start net openingMethod used to Initially open a net.COMSEC keyVariable used to encrypt/decrypt signals during a secureoperation. COMSEC keys are loaded into the KY-57.CUEUsed to contact a FH radio net when you are not an activemember of that net. Cue can be used If you are operatingin SC and wish to contact, an FH net.ECCMMethod of operation used to reduce the effects ofjamming.Electronic remote fillMethod in which an RT Is loaded with FH data transmitted(ERF)by an NCS (net control station) radio; used during coldstart openings and FH data updating.FH frequency dataData the RT operates on during frequency hopping;Includes hopsets, lockout sets, FH sync time andTRANSEC.FH sync timeClock in RT used for timing FH operations. The NCS is thetimekeeper for net RT clocks.frequency hoppingECCM method of operation. RT circuits automatically(FH) operationchange frequencies rapidly.holding memoryMemory In the RT used when sending, loading or retrievingFILL data.hopsetGroup of frequencies upon which RT hops.line-of-sight (LOS)During operation, radio antennas MUST be able to be seenby each other for good communication. The path betweenthe radio antennas is referred to as LOS.lockout setData which prevents transmsission/reception on particularfrequencies; used for FH by all RT using the hopset thatneeds the lockout set (may not be needed for some hop-sets).master radioRadio In a FH radio net which is operated in FH-M mode;normally operated by the NCS.member radioAny radio In a FH radio net that is not the master radio.E-5
