Despite the watering down that has occurred over the years, 97.113
prohibits encryption in any circumstance except telecommand of a
station in space operation. No exception for emergencies, nor should
there be.
We shouldn't get sidetracked, though. The issue at hand is excessive
bandwidth in the narrow-band portions of the FCC allocations. We need
to fix the automatic station stuff and we need to fix the proprietary
encoding problem (D-STAR, PACTOR, etc), but this isn't the time.
