Does eBay hide bidder names now during the auction?

If not, those all look like shill bidders.

My Wing DC just told me this is a UHF radio, not VHF (based on the model number).

Not much use for CAP.

Except for a really expensive ISR.

You'd think there's opsec or something involved, but it's not that complicated. NSA handles the encryption keys, they are input to the radio elsewhere, then you talk on it. That's all there it to it. They may be playing around right now learning things, but actual encrypt isn't happening till we're fully into P25. Right now there isn't a huge need. If we start picking up a lot more HLS then we'll see.

Nope. ISR is a different band between VHF and UHF.

Frequencies which that radio covers, so yes.  Expensive ISR.  :)

$1500-2500 dollars based on the compliant equipment list.

And thats why EFJ is the devil. 
Not entirely... After all, when CAP purchased our original ones, we set the gov't price at $1,500 for a mobile, man, we made out good!

>:(   That and I'll be %^&*ed if I can figure out how to change channels and banks on those dang things.
All switch on top: channel.  Rocker button on front: bank.

Next rant  ;D
