Handheld two-way radios for preppers (and other curious folks)
Most P25 radios also require a specialized device (keyloader) for loading encryption keys that's separate from the vendor's programming software for channels and other parameters. Used keyloaders that support AES-256 still go for $2,000+ (Motorola KVL3000+/KVL4000).
A couple years ago I developed an open source one:

You can get a cheap Chinese radio and run OpenGD77 on it. Not exactly Raspberry Pi with RTL-SDR, but still open source.
