Is it possible to program a 2 meter radio with rolling code encryption?

If not, how can a 2 meter be scrambled? no concern for the law


It is illegal to encrypt amateur radio transmissions. If you want a encrypted radio, you will need to buy a commercial one and get a commercial license for it. I'm not even sure if that is legal. They are VERY expensive.

If you have "no concern for the law", please stay off the 2 meter band.

If you want a form of wireless communication that is as close to encrypted as you can get, just use your cell phone. Only law enforcement agencies with very sophisticated equipment can listen in.

144 to 148 megahertz.

144.000 to 144.400 narrowband modes.
144.500 to 145.000 is an "all mode" section.

145.600 to 145.800 are the outputs.

How can I contact the ISS on the 2 meter amateur radio band?
Yaesu FT-225RD VHF Transceiver

What frequencies and times, esp.
All i know is that other hams have QSO'd the ISS.
eman12343567, are you a ham, and if so, what is your callsign?


Here is the frequency information that I gleaned off of the web.

Frequencies used for ARISS
Voice Downlink: 145.80 (Worldwide)
Voice Uplink: 144.49 (Regions 2&3) 145.20 (Region 1)
Packet Uplink: 145.99 (Worldwide)

When contacting anyone in space, it is mostly luck if you actually get in. Several sources on the web sugestts a rig that puts out 25 to 100 watts, and a circular polarized antenna w/ both a rotator and an azmith control. I know a ham who contacted the shuttle on an HT, and had a nice conversation.

Ham radio 2 meter handheld radio?
Discussion about antenna choice

I have just gotten my ham license and im looking for a Good but AFFORDABLE 2 meter handheld radio.


I love the Icom IC-v82. My first radio was the IC-v8. Both are affordable and low cost. The V82 has higher power and more features. I own them both... you can't go wrong with either. Both have excellent reviews.

Looking for model number MINATURE 2 Meter Amatuer Radio (Ham Radio)?
DSCF4542

I am looking to buy a new 2 meter amateur radio for my small car. I can't seem to find anything in the HRO catalog that does the trick. Does anyone with interest in the amateur radio hobby know of the model number of a miniature or small footprint radio? Please let me know.

The HRO catalog isn't easy to navigate !

You would have more choice by looking at dual band (2m and 70cm) rigs. Prices are very reasonable these days.

Look under the Multi Band FM Mobile section.

The Icom IC208 has a detachable face plate and is $275. It looks really neat and has 50 watts available on both bands. Hide the rig out of sight, the face plate is tiny and should fit just about any car.

The Kenwood TM-G707a has been around for a while so it is well proven.


My mobile rig is the Kenwood TM-D700.
Not the smallest, but the detachable faceplate is small enough.
But check out the spec !
It's a dual band FM rig.
Plug in a GPS and it will broadcast your position via the APRS network.
It works full duplex - i.e. you can work mobile through satellites !

I find 2m/70cms FM a little dull at times but there is so much you can do with the TM-D700 - it's going to be a classic ! BTW - my car is tiny and it fits in just fine !

Good luck es 73 !
