[BC] Encrypted wireles mics

I have a client who is looking for a wireless mic system which is digital 
at minimum and possibly encryptable.

They were at an event before the end of the year where someone with a 
scanner found their WM's and was feeding them to a PA system which was in 
another area of the venue as a gag...and the client didn't know it at the 
time. Let's just say some unsavory things were said in what should have 
been a PL conversation between the studio and remote venue.  Management 
wasn't concerned so much with what was said, but the fact someone found 
them and could have jammed them on the air.

So...they want to go digital and NOW.  Aside from Lectrosonic, who makes a 
professional grade digital wireless mic which can be worn as a beltpack 
TX?  They use headsets or ear mounted boom mics most of the time for 
reasons I'll spare the lists.  So the standard brick at the base of a HH 
mic is not practical....though at some point they too will be necessary.

Thanks...
