Let me tell you what having system keys (or I should say, letting other people know you have system keys) gets you.

A visit from a local investigator accompanied by a GBI agent.

A nice several hour long interrogation in an unmarked SUV.

An Invite to your workplace to "chat" with your boss about your "options".

A chance to now look for a new job with a criminal investigation looming overhead.

A FELONY charge of COMPUTER NETWORK TRESPASS (because they will insist
you've affilliated with a system - even when you know they are wrong - because
the people pressing the charges are about as knowledgable as a one-winged termite).

A front-page headline in your local paper, and a few 5-minute spots on the evening news
(oh yeah, I almost forgot - your own forum on RR for a couple of years).

Attorney fees for your defense.

The lovely physical effects of STRESS.

The ever-present fear you may get to be some man named Bubba-Jack's Bride
in prison.

Then, if you're as lucky as I, the DA's office finally gets tired of your case-file
sitting on his desk (with zero real evidence of anything), so he finally appeals
to the state to drop all charges (which they did).

Another write-up in the paper that makes it sound as though you are a criminal
that got away with a major crime.

Now, after 3 years, 2 months and many headaches and sleepless nights later,
trying to get this charge expunged from your record.

Sound fun? Go ahead talk about system keys all you want. Sure would suck to
trade that chance to go to college in for some lovin' from Bubba-Jack, HUH?

nothing funny about this post, and looks like plenty of consequences one claims to be suffering despite not being "convicted" in a court of law.

aside, the new Astro 25 SZOL systems are much tougher to penetrate, and while it can be done, you're radio can be flagged much quicker and disabled. The advancements in CPS won't even wake up a stunned radio. Only the one who turned it off can in an Astro 25 environment can. So it isn't worth the risk of trouble or the hassle.

Just go buy a damn scanner. Never heard of anyone charged with unauthorized programming of a scanner have you? nor were they committing a computer crime by programming one either. Scanners don't and can't attempt to affiliate as they don't contain transmitters, so no worry about the FCC regulations being broken there.

Still don't see what's funny about "reformedMhacker" losing his job, career and reputation so he says above even after his case was dismissed. Was it worth it just to play radio?

I'm not an attorney but the best advice I can give - which has been offered by quite a few on here already - is to quit even asking publicly - or privately - about getting anyone to program your radio. Let's move on
