- Motorola also has a new line of cordless phones (which are being sold
- through Sears) that have a "Secure Clear" feature that scrambles the
- transmissions. I don't know how secure it is, those -- it may well be
- some simple analog srambling like frequency inversion, which is easy to
- undo, but it certainly will keep out your casual scanner listener.
- Anyone here from Motorola want to comment?
