[Scan-DC] Encrypted P25 on Industrial/Business Pool freqs?

I don't think the FCC limits what you can do on an Industrial/Business Pool frequency as long as you are within your allowed technical constraints (power, bandwidth, emission designator, etc.).

eBay is full of ads for encrypted P25 equipment for a few hundred dollars. A drop in the bucket compared to a John Deere tractor.
