        Link please if you know where to get them.

        So far I’m only aware of:

        • Meshtastic, which is text but can be encrypted
        • amateur radio, which it is illegal to encrypt
        • CB, which I know little about
        • Regular store walkie-talkies which I assume are not encrypted
        • Em Adespoton@lemmy.ca

          Regular store digital walkie talkies come with “encryption” these days, which is essentially an xor encryption on the channel packets. Trivial to decode, but the person has to first know what frequencies you’re on and then what shift you’re using.

          So, it won’t stop a government from providing the decoded data as evidence, but it would likely stop anyone from knowing what you’re saying in real-time.
