Hi ETEA,

Welcome aboard!

Generally when communications are encrypted, then it's not going to be possible to easily descramble it. After all, why bother to scramble if it's so easy to break?

That said, some companies use simple encryption (like voice inversion) to stop casual eavesdropping. It's easy to spot these systems as it makes people sound like donald duck

If you want to talk in air then the best place to start would be a Foundation amateur license. Have a look here:
