- The place to ask is comp.dcom.telecom. From what I hear:
-
- (1) "security coding" is now common. This restricts who can _dial_ from
- your base unit, so that a person with a similar phone cannot drive up
- outside your house and start making long distance calls on your line.
- It does not affect reception of speech.
-
- (2) Motorola now makes a cordless phone with a very simple kind of
- speech scrambling. Apart from that, all cellular telephone speech is
- clear FM.
