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

[Brooks, Kurt]

Typically not, as the encryption often requires a digital key.

Hmmm, wonder if I buy one I can figure out how to program one to listen.
Hopefully it is not something bad I stumbled upon. Looking at the link
you sent looks like a large farming operation.

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.

Been doing some long term unattended scanning and recording here in
Monkey County and saw some hits on 153.275MHz. Listening to the
recordings and they were encrypted. Is that allowable on these type
freqs? Or is our government doing something very sneaky? Cant imaging
the users of these type freqs can afford P25 encrypted radios like the
feds? Wonder what is going on?
