Comments by "knoxieman" (@knoxieman) on "Why You Should NEVER Share Digital Frequencies!" video.

  1. I dont share the frequencies but I have shared short conversations picked up on DMR that are not encrypted for educational purposes on my videos, all of the traffic is in a 50mhz band and it only takes a couple of hours to catalog them, I dont think sharing of the frequencies is the reason that people are encrypting though Lewis I think the problem is poor system administration of the radios that are not enabling the encryption on the radios in the first place thats why some are garbled and others are not, the main purpose for going digital in the first place for many organisations using digital radios or replacing their existing analogue radios is the security that digital radios bring via encryption. I would bet many business have no idea at all that encryption is even switched off, I dont know anyone with a digital scanner apart from you :-) and less people with an SDR who even have the SDR setup for digital so I honestly dont think sharing is making much difference, you are right that people tweeting the actual companies twitter page might invoke a check and a tightening up but general forum chat and indirect twitter posts would likely make little difference, I am amazed that the radios dont come from the manufacturer with encryption switched on by default? Interesting question though and I do agree its better to keep a lot of information to your selves these days, I find it surprising that I can hear anyone to be honest and some of the banter the oppos transmit at times proves to me they think they are on a secure network, look at the bald guy whos just walked in or god he smells etc etc, funny to listen to but probably not something the business owners would be happy with being made public. I think in time all of it will be encrypted not because of sharing but because of better installation practices, training and manufacturers intervention, particularly if there are any incidents that can be linked to eavesdropping on DMR. Super video, your beard is fascinating in HD :-)
