As far as I know P-25 cant exchange keys over the air, a flay in my
opinion.


P25 is *NOT* inherently encrypted. It can be, the provision is there
in the spec, but many P25 systems are bought without the (relatively
expensive) encryption modules.

Go to the database at Radio Reference
http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR and see how many
P25 systems have talkgroups listed as D, not E.
