- Unfortunately, this isn't always true. Many of the LEAs I've dealth with
- who use speech inversion thought it was 'secure,' although some individual
- officers who have used CBs thought the inversion was single sideband. It is
- not uncommon for some agencies to still have the belief that the 'Private
- Line' ('PL') setting on their radios will scramble the communications.

- *Transcrypt* has a lot of nice systems which they've sold to everyone
- from the newsmedia to the National Guard & even some foreign military sales.
- I think you referenced their 'Stealth' product, which is a slow, direct-sequence
- analog audio system using a variable hop-rate (max of ~50/sec) system.

- I disagree with your asserting that most LEA SWAT, narcotics, or other
- 'high-risk' units use digital voice -- let alone ANY -- voice privacy
- systems. I wish it were the case...
