    it isn’t really adding anything that can’t also be done on ham.

    Encryption, affordability, ease of access.

      It is a misconception that you cannot do encryption with ham radio.

      Affordability – looks like a wash to me.

      Ease of access – maybe. But it generally does less, so it’s a tradeoff.

        It is a misconception that you cannot do encryption with ham radio.

        Encryption: read the comments - in some jurisdictions you can’t (legally).
        Affordability: in some parts of the work it’s expensive to get a ham license (required by law).
        Ease of access: that one’s subjective, fine.
