I don't see why they bother to manually switch back to non encrypted.
Just
leave it there. Why are they actually making an effort to NOT encrypt?


Encryption usually decreases battery life by about 1/3.

On an XTS5000 running full time encryption and moderately heavy use,
it takes 3 batteries to get through a shift.




Also, on some systems, the use of encryption decreases range and hurts
the received audio quality.
