Nope, they are all PRC-6809 clear MBITRs. They only have DES and AES, no CCI.

To catch everything that's up there you need a proper circular pol antenna with a little gain. I have a garage full of military surplus UHF satcom antennas and you can also home brew one from the article and instructions in post 11 here: MT magazine UHF Satcom antenna project
The X-wing antenna project sits on the ground and is right hand circular pol with an upward facing omni directional lobe that favors 20 to 60deg elevation for optimal reception in the US.
I was visiting in Sao Paulo, Brazil and while going to lunch with an amateur radio friend there he announced he listens to Brazilian pirates on UHF satcom while driving to and from work.
What frequency?? I'd love to catch some of that action, would be WAY cool!!!Don't forget spacewalks! I heard the russians directly during the walk. Coolest thing ever.
ISS FrequenciesIn case you don't understand Portuguese there are some pretty slick voice to text pc applications that do a nice job translating the chatter.

Can't really answer that one. I put a voice to text translator on my pc and fed the radio audio into it.ISS Frequencies
Check out the "Other frequencies" list at the bottom of the page. I hear the Russians from time to time using 130.167 AM during EVAs.
Good idea - what are good ones for a smartphone? I haven't used any translators other than text with Google translate.
The Google Translate app, at least on Android, does audio, too.Good idea - what are good ones for a smartphone? I haven't used any translators other than text with Google translate.
I'll give that one a try next time I hear Ruskies on the PAC or IOR satsThe Google Translate app, at least on Android, does audio, too.
