Communication Possibilities for Bug Out Situations Part 2

[intrepidietconstante]

thank brother excellent info can u give me more info for starters like i am very intrested in this subject if u can help me with what do i start thank u in advance bro peace

[CPLBSS88]

so for MURS any VHF radio will work? im wanting to set up a vehicle system as my mobil base station and have two radio(one for me, one for eith wife, everybody else is buying their own). I do want the ability to communicate in buildings so would it be worth it to have GMRS instead? All the agencies around here opperate with VHF so it would be nice to be able to listen in on them...

Total budget for the whole system is flexable, im willing to save, but id like to keep it under $1000 for everything.

Working with CB, All HAM Bands, Public Safety, Business Bands, FRS & GMRS and Marine Band as well as being employed by Motorola, ... I listen To EVERYTHING !

Anyone in My area IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO INTERCEPTION of All Communications ... This is for My Safety. Others Will Use The Same Knowledge To SURVIVE BY ELIMINATION and Resource Suplimentation. BE SHORT & USE DISCRETION. PLEASE PRAY

Nextel Direct Talk uses 0.7W RF power, 900Mhz FHSS with digital voice (VSELP) which means it can't be received by scanners. The hop rate is 90mS. I have a special surveillance receiver that can track it, but can't demodulate the digital VSELP voice. It just sounds like popping. Remember FH will show up on spectrum analysers as "spikes" and they CAN be DF'ed.

[locke6206]

@RayAir1 Thank you brother! You should make a video response to this vid about the Nextel capability. 

[RayAir1]

Us a CB and FRS/GMRS radio for outside contacts and for more private short comm's use a Nextel with Direct Talk (this is NOT Direct Connect). You do not need the phone activated, but you need a SIM card. Nextel i355's are your best bet as they can be had on EBAY for around $25/ea. Not many people know about this feature.

[Iriatv]

I have a Question: if I had 2, 6 volt square batteries could I power a car CB radio?

& Question 2 Is there any way to convert a scanner to use as a radio if I could get the parts ?

[kukulkan07]

grate advice, grate information..

[jcllljyl]

My wife needs to drive 40 miles to work. I wonder if there is any radio that will work in 40 miles range in case the cell phone down and she needs to get out from the emergency? Thanks.

[locke6206]

@jcllljyl Yes there are plenty of choices if you are willing to pay the price for the range. VHF high band radios for 50 watts or more will easily transmit that far if there are not mountains etc blocking the signal. 2 meter ham radios on repeaters will easily transmit 40 plus miles. And 10 meter radios will also transmit that far with enough wattage output.

[guns4good]

@locke6206 Keep in mind that you have to be licensed to use 2 and 10 meter. And if you get a license, someone in the gub'ment has your name and your arse. And if you're using those bands, the FCC is ALWAYS monitoring for people illegally broadcasting. HAMS WILL turn you in for being on their bands without a license.

[locke6206]

@guns4good being a HAM myself I am well aware of the licensing requirements and FCC's monitoring activities. These options I mention in this video are for when SHTF situations when survival is a life and death situation. IF SHTF the government will have their hands full for sure and enforcing FCC regs will be a low priority on their list.

[guns4good]

@locke6206 Yeah, I get what you are saying. Just don't want a bunch of folks to go off half-cocked and jump on the HAM bands without license. I like the vid, not trying to stomp toes. Cheers!

[RayAir1]

@locke6206

For long range especially in the country consider buying some used 110W VHF-Low band mobile radios. Just make sure they are on the same frequency.

Look on EBAY (search motorola low band radio). They also make 60W versions, but 110 W will give you more range. Plus, hardly anyone used VHF low band anymore so not many people even bother scanning it.

[RayAir1]

@RayAir1

For privacy you could even add a voice scrambler to it if you have the money. For a decent one (rolling code) look to spend at least $300 (Midian TVS-2) per scrambler. Then you would need to pay for it to be installed. Also you would need a key loaded (Midian KL-3). When loading keys it's best to have the programmer yourself because the companies save the keys if they load it. Transcypt has some good scramblers, but they are way overpriced.

[kaymanclark]

@jcllljyl another idea is to set a meeting point where in the middle where you two can meet in case you can't get ahold of each other. So no matter what if you can't get ahold of each other you'll know where you can meet up.

[erm9173]

Whats the deal with that anti triangulation chip?what is it called or part #??IDM???

[locke6206]

Here is what I will tell you. If the radio sends a wave transmission, it can be triangulated. Some take more effort to triangulate, but radio waves are still radio waves. If it is a frequency hopping radio then it makes triangulation almost impossible because of the hop.

[RayAir1]

@locke6206

Not really, the hopping shows up as spikes on a spectrum analyzer. I also have a surveillance receiver that will track the hops and demodulate it unless it's encrypted.

Frequency hopping can be DF'ed.

[SadlyDiscontinued]

Listen here, Johnny blowhard. What's the best working brand of little FRS radio out there today in your opinion? Motorola, Midland, etc.

[locke6206]

Both Motorola and Midland are great choices. I would personally go with Midland. Midland makes great land mobile radios.

[solobackpacking]

LOL, you are so funny.

Navajo code talkers were in WWII and Navajo the language is foreign ? It's more native then English. Keep in mind English was only established after the mass migration of the British.

But I do love the fun of hill billy mind set paranoia. Its kind of like those Godzilla movies, where the people prepare for a monster attack. What replaces Godzilla, the government, the immigrants, the terrorists and of course corporate america.

thx for the video.

[locke6206]

Yes I know navajo is a native language. Never said it wasnt and I did correct the fact that it was in world war 2 that the code talkers were used as code if you look at previous comments here. I was in the military and know plenty about communications. I certainly do not see any vids on your channel relating to communications.. Ooops, I dont see ANY vids on your channel. So show me or shut up..

[solobackpacking]

true...

[sakofree]

The TSX300 radios would be great for close by security radios the limited range would be less detectiable I plan on replacing my frs radios with these in the near future.

[locke6206]

Yes they are an excellent choice for short range communications. Excellent technology in those radios.

[bunker2k1]

oh yea cbradiolover, there will be little to no electrical power,and you should have a battery backup. but oops there goes that big amp! now it is just barefoot radio and that nice beam, you do have a battery or solar back up for power outages right? no! oh thats right your a cber lol well good luck in an emergency. wait you did have a means to take commo portable right? oh darn it must be a cber thing, think!

[RIVERRAT187]

ham radio sucks 11 meter rules

[locke6206]

alrighty

[CBRADIOLOVER]

man screw all them ole ham radios, cb is beter dude, i can melt a fuckin direcshun finder with a 5000 watt linear an a moonraker beam antanna. go watch my videos to see the truth about them ham radio operators

[locke6206]

lol.

[bunker2k1]

hm cbradiolover are you goin gto be carring all that on your bake, or move it if u have to leave ur house NO. get a grip dude, compairing cb ro ham radio is like apples and oranges, ham radio can do way more than a cb radio, but lets stay on subject, portable commo in a bad situation.anything portable is just fine

[CBRADIOLOVER]

Hell yeah i am, someone fucks with me an i'll flip the 10k watt linear on my backpack on an aim that moonraker im holding at em and there commie ass is fried like rabbit.

[Str8JacketMafia]

Is there a civilian equivalent to freq hops?

[locke6206]

the Trisquare eXRS TSX300 radios use a similar technology however they lack much distance in transmission at all. They are the closest thing to frequency hopping that the civilian market provides.

[Str8JacketMafia]

man, I wish I owned a PRC 119

[locke6206]

Also 800MHz trunking systems are similar being that they use a bank of frequencies to switch to every time the mike is released however the Sincgars technology hops 1000 times plus per second.

[Str8JacketMafia]

sweet.

[cbr6864]

that was WWII

[DS1circle]

Oops...l-i-cense...sorry for the type-o. Need more coffee!

[DS1circle]

I just purchased two Midland GMRS/FRS 22 channel radios. They have a 16 mile range. Remeber that channels 8 - 14 are licsence free channels. But then, if shit hits the fan, all channels will be liscence free...eh? Get radios, they're an important tool.

[cbr6864]

they say 16 miles but that is over flat land line of sight, mine maybe get 1 mile at best

[DS1circle]

All communications can be tracked. Like locke6206 explained...keep your transmissions short and to the point. And yes, coded conversations will insure safety. Develope it, work on it, study it, and apply it.

[normbrag]

Jus got good deal on 2 trc-230 5 watt 40 ch walkies mint shape,29 bucks to my small collection..Great education vid, thanx,.Like you i hope our future goes well... Preperations is crucial now...Thanx much !!!

[GuitarKid905]

can they track the small 2way radios? is there any type that they cant, i havent thought about tracking

[locke6206]

The most difficult to track is satellite phones/radios however those are out of the price range of most everyone. All communications equipment that sends radio frequencies across the airwave can be tracked.

[Gorntz]

Good job locke, tell all to make investment,go to larger Hamfests (Dayton,Miaimi etc) get ICOM706MKIIG's for base and mobile, Motorola GP68 VHF and or UHF for portables, they will modifiy them there to go anywhere on the bands,stay off marine and airband cause they will find you,The gap between CB and Ham(27.405-28.000) will be hot WTSFTF. Oh yeah, learn Ham radio and get your license, the book is an eighth inch thick, its easy. Commo is as important as weapons. Good Luck... Over and out!

[llSFCll]

Yes it was in WWII,... witch a movie was made about Indians in the war, called "WindWalkers"............good job, thank you.........Phoenix

[carveawoodeneye]

good vis !!

[charper3006]

Great series Locke.

[beast12101]

I'm certainly trying to catch up, I am studying for HAM. Do you recommend single 2 or dual 2/70 or even more advanced. Hoping to get a strong dual moblie setup, then a handheld just in case, for camp to BOV comm.

[locke6206]

I would get a dual radio if you are going with ham. They are not much more expensive than a normal 2 meter and gives you tons more frequencies available to you. I would also check with local hams and see which radios can be moded out to cover the entire 144-174MHz band. Not all radios have the capibility to be able to "open up" to that entire band.

[ThrasherHunter]

tnx for the info

[ewokarmyof1]

Great ideas,keep up the good work.
