Boo... Is it encrypted? or just nothing out there to monitor it? Is this OpenSky system widely used?

An OpenSky radio must log in and be validated by the controller. Once it logs in, only then does it download its profile of talk groups which is based on a 10 digit radio ID.

Once you turn on the radio it only takes a couple seconds before you're up and running. Our were set to log in automatically but they can also be set to require a password.

The radio is useless until it successfully logs in.

OpenSky is likely to go away eventually.
