An important reason that I see is because (at least in Germany, I guess worldwide) ham radio operators are not allowed to encrypt their traffic. Commercial companies are a lot more conservative concerning encryption than "hacker people".
- wkat4242 3y agoThat rule is pretty much universal, not just Germany. I guess it's because it would eliminate the possibility of collaboration and also enable using it for commercial purposes without anyone being able to check. There's an exception for command and control systems like satellite control.
