\n
\nWell, we don't have AEGIS specs listed as an open protocol of approved
\ndigital modes on
\n
\n http://www.arrl. org/FandES/ field/regulation s/techchar/
\n
\nI would probably think that the protocol specs aren't "public" so
\nrunning I would be illegal encryption. And without the commercial
\nlicense, they aren't legal there.
\n
\nMaybe a discrete simplex common frequency for those doing the DFing
\nwould be the best option?

\nDo you have a reference for this that's published somewhere? I'd like
\nto see it, because I'd like to send them comments on it. P-25 is as
\nmuch a fully published protocol as say, D-Star. (Unlike some standards
\nthe FCC is allowing -- say, like PACTOR III...)

\nOr someone fully reverse-engineers it and publishes their findings. :-)
