[FedCom] Civil Air Patrol Tightens OpSecurity Radio CommsInformation

[Rankin, Robert L]

So us readers of FEDCOM will have the information, but the actual CAP participants will be kept in the dark and won't be able to program scanners at home to keep track of what's going on in their own group.  You wonder who the paranoid nut-cases are who sit in darkened rooms in D.C. dreaming this stuff up.  If a CAP unit is going to be interacting with DEA or "Homeland Security", give them a DEA or DHS encrypted radio to use temporarily and let them have their own system to enjoy without all the hocus-pocus.
 
Aaaah . . . our tax dollars at work!!

> . . . even personal radios purchased will be programmed with the appropriate
radio channel designations for simplex & repeater access (freqs & tones) by
the Wing/Group radio communications staff BUT the typical users will not
have access to see to the actual frequencies or tone codes programmed.
