Is it legal in the USA? I seem to recall that ham operators aren't allowed to encrypt their traffic, that's one reason I never got around to getting licensed. Maybe LoRs allows for it because it's unlicensed?

Ignore me, I answered my own question. Encryption is still illegal on HAM bands, but legal for things like LoRa that are unlicensed (hence WiFi).
