Militia Radio Frequencies- No Big Secret

This article was sent to me by a former SM member. It seems Baofeng is the choice of the militia for communications. Zooming in on pictures, people can see what channel frequency they are using.

"Some radio users in the militia patriot community want to keep their frequencies a big secret. But more knowledgeable radio techs don’t see the need for it, since all VHF-UHF FM transmissions can easily be received with a common scanner or Ham radio"

As today's RDF gear is excellent; they need to be more careful communicating.

 

@BTPost
I understand encryption; however, that prevents understanding; not detection. I've been told burst is too fast to get a location.

 

Funny quote from the article, referring to the wish list on the 2nd day of the standoff.
"the second day of the armed standoff tends to indicate that these particular militants were neither preppers nor survivalists. They forgot to bring sleeping bags and food; but they remembered to bring ammo and Baofengs."
Too funny.

 

Even funnier than the quote is the amount of dildos they received in the mail. I just about spewed coffee everywhere when I read that one morning at work.
As one of the guys at work opined, "It's not like ranchers have anything else to do this time of year."

whynot

 

@Tikka,
"I understand encryption; however, that prevents understanding; not detection. I've been told burst is too fast to get a location."
Not true. That was the old days... Now, the burst will keep me guessing on what frequency you will hop to next but that is about it and even that is so fast now (they have units that frequency hop super fast) that might not be a problem anymore. I don't need to hear your conversation or even receive clean data just need to locate a broadcast so you MIGHT be able to keep from being detected if you use very low power (and line of sight) because most that type of work is done with satellites. But, having said that, anyone every hear of the Elephant Cages? A few are still around. The one in Augsburg, Germany was deactivated but not dismantled (hmmmm...?) and those damn things will hear and track damn near every freq...not microwave Ghz of course but all the single band stuff. Look it up. Also, don't fool yourself, this is exactly the type of stuff Alice Springs does...and they have been doing it a long time since the Soviets. I never went there but maybe I should have. Its amazing. The other thing I am always very leery of is encryption. Now, my degree is in Computer Science, it's rather old, early 90's but I still hum a damn fine tune. I do not know this for a fact but I would bet, and give odds, that with today super-computers, even 256-bit is breakable and quite quickly. That facility being built in Utah is going to be magically - no cost being spared - and my guess is only a shifting, random encryption will even slow it down. Anything electronic can and will be broken if they want, it's that simple. Any simply citizen that thinks otherwise is a fool. Think of it this way, during WW2 the best and brightest were gathered to break Enigma which was another 'country's' most secret encryption (note: not some individual programmer open source stuff or etc.). They knew everything the Germans were doing in a World War. Do you really think they didn't learn that lesson? That is my 2 cents... - Rick

 

BTPost,

I haven't read about it yet but I will check it out. I assume there is something written up on it here in the communications section? Communications is something I need to look at more, not sure why I have ignored it...strange because it is how I made my living.

EDIT: I have read the white paper and it looks real good, already learn a lot I didn't know like about the Open Source GPG keying. I had to look it up and was really impressed with it, especially if I read it correct that it uses a 1024 bit encryption - Wow! I want to talk more about this as find it interesting and a good learning experience but think I will move my discussion over to White Paper section.

 

@RickR
I'm familiar with burst to satellites which has a small localized foot print and harder to locate than conventional burst. However, if I know about it; I'd bet they are using something else.

I think more of not being found than a secure message. Once an enemy knows you're there; they come and find you.
