[TrunkCom] can we decode encryption?

[Jeff Kenyon]

Right, but for an agency who wants some people outside to monitor but not
all it would come in handy.  What I am saying is that they could authorize
ham operators of the area to monitor yet still encrypt and not have to
hunt for other radios.
	What is being done in areas with ProVoice that is in regard to ham
operators and news media then?  I know that just a few EDACS systems today
have that ESK on them, but all the rest you can program up a radio that is
capable of ProVoice and monitor all you want.
