Two words that don't belong together, encryption & Ebay.
Just like most hobbyist on this site, I frequently look through the listings on Ebay to see if there are any new deals worth going after. Over the past three weeks I have found numerous APX and XTS radios for sale by local surplus companies. Being the hands on person I am I go and look at the units in person and try to gauge if they are a good find.
Today I stumbled across a lot of XTS5000 model II radios that are still programmed, most of the radios in the lot had dead batteries, but each radio that powered up gave me an OOR tone and up on top of the channel was the famed Ø encryption symbol.
Talk about a security lapse.
