I did a uhf scan on my uv-5rm plus

The "scrambler" is simply voice inversion and has nothing to do with CTCSS or DCS.

I have an old pair of Motorola FRS radios (Talkabout T6310) that have that function. I used it once on a crowded cruise ship.

Are you saying the encryption listed for my uv17 is voice inversion? I remember that from back in the 80s or earlier and some pd’s used it but it died quickly for that use. I would doubt that this is what is in the 17 but I have no source for this information and have not tried.

That's the same ol' voice inversion!! It died for public service because it was easy to unscramble. Now public service uses digital encryption because they use digital radio modes.

From the manual:



Here's an interesting old thread on the topic for GMRS: Midland nailed by FCC - inversion scrambling illegal?

I thought I knew everything😀thanks! I should read the manuals! Again, I thought this had disappeared with current digital. I admit I had a little box I used to decrypt the pd until they gave it up😉

Captured my little dewalt DXFRS220 walkie talkies (rebranded cobra ACT220B)

is there a power limit on this band? Or am I free to transmit as I please?

Channel 1 is 462.56250 and channel 22 is 462.7250

Going buy the dewalt model name, tbey are FRS?

I see 2 radios from different manufactures here. One radio has a dual display, which I assume that either a Part E dedicated GMRS with wide range receive and the other is just a basic GMRS simplex only with NOAA ALERT. I really don't understand if you're trying ask a question here or I'm not understanding your post.

If I were to take a guess, I'd have to say that you wonder about manufactures following the same standards, as channel assignments. If that's the case, the channel list for Radio Brand A should be the same for Radio Brand B.
Although manufactures have the same standard 22 channels, their sub- channels or privacy tone may differ, but that usually rare.
If I still didn't I apologize and I'll shut up
