    Yeah.. that's the transport layer. Isn't it feasible to send
    stuff in encrypted containers?

    Of course, unless you're using amateur radio - that's a huge no no.
    Seems funny that they wouldn't want you to protect any ID information
    even there.

    Maybe it stems from wartime and therefore insisting every
    broadcaster be licensed, locatable and be in the clear.

    But what about the LoRa that was mentioned earlier? Can digital
    encrypted stuff be sent with that?

    encryption is technically illegal, but it's not enforced.

    No, it stems from (in our country) the FCC being able to send a field
    inspector to monitor your communications without the need to decrypt
    it... aka: lazy government people.

    But what about the LoRa that was mentioned earlier? Can digital
    encrypted stuff be sent with that?

    Physically speaking? I'm sure. You *can* even encrypt data over amateur frequencies. It's the regulations about LoRa I'm unsure of.

    There was a group in NY that was using encryption for a while until someone reported them to the FCC... to which they received a cease and disist order. Personally, for administering remote systems I'm for encryption.
