There is also a newer technology called direct digital synthesis or DDS that works by accumulating phase (adding to the previous value)

We use DDS in some of our Microwave equipment between sites.

There is certainly little additional cost to building a trully secure digital cordless phone given the dense ASIC technology that is standard in this kind of product - but someone has to persuade the manufacturers that there is a real need and find a way to allow them to export the product.

I agree; but, if the information you are passing is truly that important just use a landline phone. Eliminate the possable "leak". I'm not claiming that a landline phone is secure, but your cordless is connected to it, so no matter how good your security is on the phone its no longer secure once it leaves the base station and enters the landline. Further encryption can be implemented but this requires equipment on both ends. Really aren't we trying to create the most secure methods of information exchange with the least amount of cost? I'm budget restricted so PGP and the internet are more secure and cheaper for me than most other means of comunication, so far. :) Dr0id (andr0id@midwest.net callsign: N9XLM) ( Computer Consulting & Management ) (P.O.
