- I agree with Tim. Even though the manufacturer claims that it is enctypted, it
- may not be at all. Just it being a digital transmitter could (in their minds)
- could be "effective encryption". After all, people were suprised that scanner
- enthusiasts were able to listen to their cell phones, after the MANUFACTERS
- told them they were secure!
-
- Are they actaully encrypted?
-
- BTW: Is there any digital to analog converters for sale ?
- (before the law takes affect?)
