are you operating under you ham license? if not, pay attention to the
power limitations set forth by part 15 for the 2.4 gig ism band.
i am not aware that encrypted or encoded messages over amateur radio
regulation (law??) has changed, either. so, this may be a valid point
when operating under your amateur radio license. also, don't forget
to transmit your call sign at the appropriate times ;)
