True FPP is a nice asset but when you put it in the hands of the unwashed you end up with paint ballers all talking shit unknowing on the local sheriff frequency
Lmfao... except VERY few government agencies aren't on P25 at this point... they usually just end up pissing off the local HAM club
That’s a wide brush you’re painting with. My locals here are all vhf and uhf analog except for the state police
It’s different everywhere
I guess... I'm on the east coast, so everything is not only P25, but encrypted out here.
But from what I hear in my scanner groups, theres not much left on UHF/VHF
Case in point, i found some local band crew members using shitfangs and they were on the local vhf Sheriff’s freq since they have no idea what freq is what.
Lol
Luckily the sheriff just switched to 800 p25 and they weren’t running any PL tone so if there was any backup radios on they wouldn’t have heard them.
NYPD is all analog and non-encrypted fyi...
Yeah, I find people on my itinerant channels all the time
That’s just the nature of itinerants
But they give you a legal place to run encryption
Kinda, but it's always idiots with chinafangs
I thought you still couldn't run encryption on business band?
You can run encryption anywhere it’s not specifically excluded
Like ham, MURS, FRS all exclude it
Right
Like i mentioned, we licensed a bunch of itinerants across low band, vhf, and uhf. We specified analog narrowband emissions, p25 emissions, trbo, and NXDN. Once you go to digital modulation adding encryption is easy.
I wonder if I can change any of that, it'll be time to renew in the next 2 years
Encryption on analog used to be hard and sounded like dogshit so not many places used it, and only for special situations. Now with digital it’s all bits anyway so re-ordering them per an algorithm is peanuts
That’s why so much public safety is going enc, because nobody wants to be heard and it’s easy of not free these days with new gear.
Yeah, I don't really know shit about encryption, I always thought you had to be on the 700-900 bands etc.
Yeah you can do it now, file an amendment to the license to add the right designators
Sounds like I need to dig up all my paperwork
Just like with phones and apps, you never want to say something without using encryption. And that’s why the boojfengs aren’t going to cut it.
The business doesn't exist anymore, so hopefully that won't be an issue
Nah fcc don’t ask for business license or nothing
I could've swore I had to provide that, but it's been almost 10 years
Also, all this talk about what freqs to use, ham or FRS/MURS etc...that’s the last place you’d find me. When the shtf those will all be full of dipshits with walmart radios and hams trying to hold nets and dumb shit. For real ops, you need to get away from the public areas that can be easily jammed. Those are good places to practice and learn radio, but are the first place I’d look for fuckers if i was a fed.
Anyone here have a CB?
We need you for a minute.
I prefer to hide in plain sight. Slip between a couple of normal police channels, or modify the radio for out of band and slip just outside the accepted band limits.
I am a long time cb’er
Alright so: we’re looking for connections with truckers.
Channel 19
Channel 19 on CB?
Yep thats the trucker channel
@redbeard yeah, that's why I'm looking at the APX... but I'm not seeing too many multiband models on Ebay
@EDDSkitz yeah APX 8000 or 8500 are pretty new and not as many out there. 7000 and 7500 are a little easier to find
Oh, so those are the multiband models and not the cheap 4k?
