Well, there is always this:
https://thehackernews.com/2017/07/satellite-phone-encryption.html
and
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/04/23/sat_comm_vulns/
and
I remember seeing a security conference talk about some guys who
captured multiple channels for hours and decrypted the comms - they only
heard 1-side of the conversation (the part talking down to their area of
the world), but the sentences were pretty telling. War operations. Drug
deals, stuff like that - at least in their presentation. Someone on an
island ordering a replacement generator isn't nearly as interesting.
BTW, cell phone encryption is worse.
Post by Jim Kinney via AleNeither Iridium unit has a charger :-(
But there are chargers for the qualcoms. Globalstar is their service. I
charged one last night and it powered up. If I stand in the middle of my
street it connects to the globalstar satellite network. Of course it has
no account so I couldn't make a call.
Sure, one is yours :-)

Hey Jim,
Are they in working order and you would be willing to part with one?
I have family in Puerto Rico and we have been looking for a sat
phone for my grandmother to have in case another hurricane Maria
occurs to keep some line of communication open.
Regards,
Jonathan
Noted! Might be better ways to light up a target than "aim for
my phone signal" :-)

Call in a CIA sanctioned airstrike?

I scored a couple of iridium phones (no chargers) and
some qualcom sat phones (with chargers). Surely this
haul is hack toy gold.
Ideas?
