Radio Communication

[HLin NC]

We had a few guys test them out this past season, although they were not officially approved, which led to some minor drama. That being said, all reports I got were positive. There is some concern that if you buy the cheaper sets, you are not getting secure comms which means any yahoo in the stands with a scanner can listen in.

The college level guys are used to them and are ok with them. Our state leadership understands but for every college level guy still working Friday nights, many more are not and some percentage of them won't/can't handle it.
(See non-secure comms above).

I can see the usefulness and expect that someday they will be prevalent.
