Encrypted?
Not sure - never looked into it.
For 10m radios you are required by the FCC to have a ham radio license
But that is talking in the open
You can bet your bollocks to a barn dance any home grown encryption you and your mates come up with will be captured, recorded, and broken by the SIGINT community
As for the RCI 2950 10m radios and other bands
Anyone can buy, just find a shop
As for use…. you are required by law to have a license to operate on those bands
But it doesn't stop truckers from making a few minor mods to make a 10m radio operate on the citizens band and push more wattage than commercially available CBs
