The keyloader is a device that loads the encryption key into the radio. 
It plugs into the same port used for programming the radio itself but
only loads the encryption key.  Jeff was saying it would be nice to
include keyloading capability into a scanner, but that would also require
having the encryption circuitry in the scanner (either built-in or an
add-on module) and that would add significant cost to the scanner.
