Since I've gotten back into the hobby, a question that crosses my mind often. Why aren't all digital transmissions, especially new installations, just by default encrypted? I'm glad they aren't......but just wondering why all aren't. When the E word first came out....we heard that "with the push of a button" we wouldn't be able to monitor some stuff. I'm thinking it probably costs more to encrypt and of course the configuration is very complex? And does it degrade the signal any at all, RF-wise? I know back even with my HP-2....around 6-8 years ago I could monitor the THP and still can. And I'm grateful for that....lol.
