<:thinkjojo:333980344044879872>

in countries with non encrypted police radio, sometimes yes

UK is a no go definitely, they're all on that Motorola encrypted

was able to listen to hospital chatter with my Baofeng tho

>not just getting the cyptographic key from uk police radios

@Comfy I did find a list of different emergency services frequencies for west yorkshire, I'll have to test them out once I get my baofeng

yeah I think I found the same list before, a lot of them were inactive or dead

the most consistent frequencies I found were for taxi dispatchers

@androidcrawler dutch police radios require authing with the transmission towers

it's not just some client side encryption that you can break

fuig

steal a radio and use its authentication chip?

they'll realize the radio is stolen and blacklist/come track it down

what if you just duplicate the chip data

what happens if two radios with the same authentication send a ping

you can't duplicate the chip data

it's the same as phone sims, only one can be active

what if you had two of the same

what happens then

does the tower connect to whichever ones it finds first?

no idea

I think cracking the Motorola stuff in the UK takes some doing, probably dark web encryption key purchases or some shit

but not worth the hassle

@Comfy what baofeng you got? 5r?

I sold mine a while ago but I had the 5r yeah

in yellow
