You have it correct. If you're using ham mode, you're allowed to use more power, but hams cannot have encrypted data. Therefore, ham mode is disabled by default.

Also with Ham Mode, if you do enable it, you can only talk to other nodes also using Ham Mode, unencrypted. Therefore, you lose access to the majority of the mesh, which makes it kind of pointless, except for experiments.
