ironic considering they're all about rules now
Kinda....
It's really only more about keeping the idiots away
Honestly you could make up a callsign and nobody would really know if you pretended right
My friend told me a story about when his friend was piss drunk fucking with a ham radio getting on the police frequencies yelling whiskey jack!! Officer down!! And some volunteer firefighters beat his ass lmao
Yeah, that was a lie
Good story though you should have heard it
Ham frequencies and police frequencies aren't the same and especially these days the police don't use standard UHF
It’s fun being a volunteer firefighter til you gotta get up like 18 times cause some meth head wants to call and then refuse treatment when you get there
I mean he's old as dirt it could have been 30 years ago for all i know
Police started moving to trunked systems in the 90's, and by 2001 were mostly all moved over.
@TheClassyRandom oof, right
Our chief basically said fuck em no point in going if they’re gonna keep refusing treatment
We have mostly dope heads around here, give them narc an and they just wanna act like they are fine
So far we haven’t had to use narcan
I'm on the east coast in the hotbed of it
In rural America dopeheads everywhere.
Louisiana here
These commie idiots give them places to shoot up around here
Yeah I saw that. I was like the hell is going on over there.
Commiefornia is the first place we’re gonna have to take back honestly
Break legs and shit just to get morphine and oxys prescribed here
It’s ridiculous
Just load the fault lines with tactical nukes and send them on their way
Well that’s another question but how are we gonna get tac nukes and it’s almost time to go frogging 🤤
Anyone know anything about using CHIRP or other alternatives to conventional localized internet data networks? Does it have a limited range, do I need a license? I currently still use flashdrives as part of a sneaker network, but it's a hassle. I don't trust VPNs or TOR, it's all shady and never 100% secure
I thought TOR was pretty solid as long as you don’t log into stuff or have it full screen. Apparently that’s how they got DPR
Im running Surfshark VPN, would also like to know
The problem with TOR as far as I know is that you have to connect to a node which could be compromised. I have heard that using a VPN plus TOR helps.
But the vpn owner can track you
From my understanding I’m no expert

T. Comsec guy
Someone will have your data unless you have your own end to end encryption. End of the day it's all about who you trust to have it, and anything with a signal or on a public net can be intercepted.
Been reading the beginner guide to radio and holy fuck is it a lot of shit
@yeetasaurus - Comms is pretty tech heavy stuff. Think OG Nerds.
I can see that. But I'm interested so far so I'm gonna keep reading when I get off of work
Tacomas with 300W power inverters
MilSurp brick satcomms with hand radios
1990s ideapads running CHIRP
Etrex Garmins on wrist straps
Byah
I may have to look into getting the amature license now i was interested in it before but you all sold me on it now. I know this one is a two-way comm but does anyone use Luiton walkies for communication or practice with them or is it just better to use HAM
I got them for bug-out bags because I was expecting March and most of April to be much worse than it actually was
