Why is it that certain agencies have encryption on their radios, yet rarely use it?
Besides the human reasons (forgot to turn it on), ignorance, etc.
What TECHNICAL reasons are there for not being able to use encryption at times (other than one or more involved doesn't have encryption capability).
I remember years ago when PPD was analog uhf for surveillance, they would sometimes say "I am out of range for B" which meant they couldn't use encryption, but why would that be? If the radio works, why wouldn't the encryption work?
