Aviation and marine won’t encrypt in our lifetime. To many users need legitimate access. 

Some people forget that in NASCAR racing when drivers started to use radios to communicate with their crew chiefs and spotters some drivers encrypted their transmissions so other drivers couldn’t hear their strategies. But other drivers used the the radios to grow their fan base. 

>> Some forward thinking law enforcement agencies have realized that keeping main dispatch channels in the clear allows them to maintain accountability to the public and to save encryption for situations where it’s needed. I only wish all law enforcement executives had that modern type thinking and action!
