Federal monitoring at the highest level

[teufler]

Seems a secret service agent, connected with the white house had his badge, radio, laptop, flashdrive and other stuff stolen out of his car today. Radio was a nice Motorola xxx model. Guess somebody wants to scan the white house now.

That radio was disabled immediately upon the agent notifying his supervisor. It's a very expensive paperweight now.

Yep, as soon as that gets turned on and registers with a USSS repeater, ZAP.

I feel for that guy - car crime has a weird way of leveling everybody.

No amount of "rebooting" will switch it out of "$5000 Paperweight Mode"! :lol:

And more than likely the moron that stole it likely doesn't know the first thing about it. Likely ended up in a dumpster.

...Or traded to some other moron (who knows even less about it) for a couple of rocks of crack or some meth.... :roll:

Yea, but before it ended up in a dumpster lets hope the GPS beaconing feature gave away its location and the bad guy got caught red handed.

 

[riveter]

Likely just got TI'd and dumped.

What GPS beacon?

Do the U.S. Secret Service have their very own repeaters? Seems legit. But the whole point of a trunked system is to allow many users to use it.

Yes. They don't buy into IWN, which is the only non-military wide area federal system in the DC area, and is run by DOJ not Treasury. Many of their frequencies are listed in multiple places in the DB.

 

[USCGTC1]

They have fixed and mobile repeaters (Road Runner). WHCA primarily hands there communication needs.

Plus all the encryption was changed faster than I can type this.

 

[jaymatt1978]

Besides being encrypted aren't 99.999999999% of their communications SIMPLEX anyway?? So you would need to be right there, with the radio and the encryption key. Yeah not going to happen any time soon! :roll:

 

[ecps92]

Nope to the Simplex question, plenty of Repeater access
