It's not only the US that forbid encryption in amateur radio - it's the legislation of every country that I know of, based on international regulations. And I'm favor of that because otherwise amateur radio would probably turn into a fancy telephone & internet replacement. The only exception I recall are encrypted transmission for the control of amateur satellites which were recently legalized in Germany and a transmission for comemoration of breaking the German ww2 encryption machine a while ago were a UK station was transmitting test encrypted with a single wheel enigma in cw and the receiving stations were supposed to break it which had to be approved by the British OFCOM first. 73 de DL5RB op Ralf -- Loc.
