I think that "scan" must be making the mistake of believing the service 
information :-).

The RTE radio stations (10744h SR 22000) are transmitted with the 
"free_CA_mode" flag set to "CA" in the SDT.  However, there are no 
conditional access descriptors specifying the type of conditional access 
system, so scan could ignore the "free_CA_mode" flag, and just check for 
the presence of CA descriptors instead.

Dave.
