Presidents " new" private channels.

Recently President announced this feature on some new radios in the pipeline.
Extra channels beyond the standard 40?
P-1 through P-5

But it's not.

5 preprogrammed channels with CTCSS or DCS

Wow. Seems like a silly marketing gimmick..

The channel p-3 is channel 11, that's going to work well on the Hawaiian Super Bowl channel.

Yep the sales team is working hard.

This scam has been around forever. The old VHF radiotelephone system that was used up here in Canada in the 70's and 80's was marketed with a promise of "privacy" during communication. All that meant was that CTCSS tones stopped the persons conversing from hearing other conversations.......it did nothing to stop any old Joe with a scanner from hearing both sides of the conversation LOL!
