When it comes to overmatch, patience is the name of the game. You can't beat the technology level, so you shouldn't bother. Don't go up, go down. Radios in that scenario are a last resort, emergency option. The Taliban couldn't use Radio's because they were all being jammed, so they started delivering letters on foot. And that was reliable, even with patrols specifically looking for it.

it's good, yeah, we're getting into HF as well. Was a joke mostly.

[@fallenspirit123]

@@ImperiumLibertas HF uses NVIS which is a method of propogation in which the signal bounces off the atmosphere and can travel insanely far.

[@FierceDeity95]

P25 and DMR handheld and mobile is beginner/intermediate comms in my opinion. With analog handheld being entry level. Advanced would consist of FHSS, wideband, secure HF data, secure mesh (no not meshtastic), and a few other emerging technologies that civilians can indeed own. Depends on your proposed adversary in terms of how advanced you probably should be. I can learn P25 CPS and keyloading in a day. Not advanced. I will say time spent on that is worth more than the same amount of time on the range. Reconnaissance against a nation state adversary requires secure HF, period. If your aim is to risk your life to recon a biker gang with Draco’s by using a mobile high power DMR or P25 then sure that works. I sit at a SIGINT school and advanced communications are 5G/6G, WiFi 7, free space optics, and cutting edge anti-jam waveforms. P25 makes the list for entry level in fact. Along with DMR Tier 2/3 and TETRA. Now the Temu purchased Baofeng users are the true enemy. Forfeiting their privacy and selling their morality for CCP garbage at $2.99 a unit.

[@heitorvrb]

@@ImperiumLibertas with NVIS you're basically pointing you antenna up and letting the radiowaves shower around you, so its much harder to direction find. Not impossible tho

[@NoL1c]

As a 06XX this is good stuff. Would like to see you go more into HF/BLOS stuff. On the LOS side you hit it. You’re not gonna be able to “hide” without encryption but you can get pretty damn close with proper usage of prowords, prosigns and callsigns, terrain masking, and just not talking if you don’t have to. Edit: I’ll add that some of the equipment we use to direction find is commercial equipment, just VERY expensive. You can make your own jamming equipment or even radio decoys at home for cheap. Just saying.

[@BrassFacts]

we've looked into DIY stuff. ATM you're better off dropping about 1000 bucks for a DIY solution from someone else.

[@Kypreparedness]

Comms have probably been the most hang up for me out of all prepping/firearms related gear. Its something you’re supposed to have a license to use, and most of the ones who do know much about comms act as gate keepers if you don’t have a license. I’ve got the radio, the comtacs, and the PTT to connect them. Now trying to learn the ins and outs of actually using the different frequencies

[@BrassFacts]

it's insanely gate kept. Which is sad, because by many accounts comms communities are struggling to get the new gen interested.

[@DJ-fd4qk]

I remember the first time taking my HAM radio Technician exam, and nearly every person in the Zoom call was some boomer who treated the test like it was College Finals, asking to see my room and even ceiling to make sure I wasn't cheating lol.

Brass talks to us like we're just one of the boys... most relatable and definitely one of my favs.

[@christophergreen2892]

Even if you use encryption you can give away info. I remember a guy saying that he had a scanner in Afghanistan and knew that his patrol was spotted due to all the talking on low transmit power (short distance) radios. I think the guy was NC Scout, he has written some books about radios for SHTF.

[@Saltpork305]

I learned enough about comms to do some of this stuff while still hating how much bootlick and insufferable HAMs can be. HF does have a place on a community level, not squad level.

[@BrassFacts]

for sure, it was mostly a joke. We're actually looking to get into HF

[@destroyerofgear]

by far the worst part about radio is the other hams.

[@rangerjay7971]

Bootlick hams, ha! I have my ham license but it's nothing but frequencies for me, 99% of ham radio operators are old fudds who are basically the problem with our country... off my soapbox HF can be used in a digital messaging as well as a baofucked radio with your cellphone and a APRS cable. I can go on and on, but I try not to make this a 40 min. Rant lol

[@jpuddlejump]

HF is a pain because we have to set up and take down long antennas and they’re not super mobile while the antenna is deployed. It’s advantage is that it gives us any range we want from short to medium to long without the use of repeaters. A common misconception is that HF can only do very long ranges (like other states or countries). But with correct frequency selection, HF is very good at short and medium ranges too. If you’re coordinating activities with another unit in the next valley over, or your squad is reporting back to HQ twenty miles away and a repeater or cell phone is not an option then HF is you’re best/only option.

[@jhutch1470]

There are many good hams out there. I know many. We just off of the "club" repeaters, because those are the ones that are sad hams.

[@raxxology]

You hit the nail right on the head. I had to explain that the digital/analog transmission difference wasn't encryption the other day to a kid on Telegram. That's why I despise the discussion of encryption because most people have no clue what it really is.

[@Robbbbooo]

Great video. HF has it's place - community coordination, mountainous terrain, or distances outside 5W VHF range. As others have mentioned NVIS can be key. Man portable HF rigs with digital interface and small laptop can open up a ton of options for information sharing.

[@BrassFacts]

yeah I regret that joke. We're getting in HF as well to a degree.

[@QuestioningLogic]

I’m really excited for more vids on this topic, theres a severe lack of detailed content on this issue. Definitely gonna look into HAM certifications in anticipation 🤘

[@Bender_B._Rodriguez]

If you broadcast to your group radios only you don't need a loicence.

[@Sophistry0001]

@@Bender_B._Rodriguez The FCC doesn't enforce that anyway unless you're running a signal jammer or pirate radio station. There isn't a single example of them coming down on someone for talking on HAM band without a loicense. Other hams though, they might get tilted about it.

[@KREllis-vr1ix]

@@Sophistry0001 Doesn't matter if they enforce or not. A Ham license is relatively easy to get and let's you practice your SHTF scenarios legally. Plus, more radio operators will actually want to talk to you to give you data points and feedback on things like audio quality and signal strength.

[@TheEnderman67]

I think we can safely say that if it gets to the point where state actors are taking enough interest in your group that they're actively sniffing your comms traffic, you have FAR bigger issues at hand, and are probably already a goner.

[@highdesertdrew1844]

I'm an exceptional nerd when it comes to this topic, I think you hit the important points without offending the nerds, and probably without beating the noobs over the head. SDRs and RDF devices are getting cheaper and easier to use, I tend to think a real approach here is to use the radio to make friends and gather Intel, this making your local area a bit less hostile. We regularly post signs when we're in an area for freq and pl to talk, sometimes leave a radio in an ammo can. Talking to ppl outside firing range can sometimes prevent a blue on green.

[@SauerkrautIsGood]

Something I see many "tactical" or "prepared citizen" types completely ignore is data burst transmission. Data bursts are a lot more difficult to gain intel from and direction find, since the transmission time is often less than a second. For this reason, many EMCON plans include a level where voice transmission is not allowed, but data bursts are. For our practical purposes, what we want is a radio that has APRS functionality. APRS (Automated Packet Reporting System) has lots of features, but the one we really care about is the ability to send text messages to other radios.

Learning little things like 10 codes and the Phonic alphabet will help immensely. Most people when using radios at first will have a hard time understanding what is said. This will come with using the radio. Learning how to call then identify yourself is also good radio use. "Base this is Ramrod" do you copy. Learn basic radio protocols shortens what is said. This will be help in situation with many radios. This also makes it harder for others to track you! Note: Phonic Alphabet is learning each letter as a word. Don't make them up.

[@tonytwonukes7272]

This will save your life from Signals Intelligence / Radio Direction Finding: Code words/Pro Words: Being able to make a 2-3 sentence operational update by saying one simple word is important. Utilizing multiple frequency bands (HF/VHF/UHF): Yes this can mean using multiple radios, but that's where mission planning comes in. The more you are transmitting on different parts of the RF Spectrum, the harder you will be to direction find/jam. Displacing when sending communications: You don't want to send comms from your hide site/base camp. Displace 300 meters or more to make your transmission if you can. Brevity (back to Code words, the longer your transmit, the more time the enemy has to find you) Transmission Power Management: Everyone blasts on high power because it means your teammates are most likely to receive the transmission, but so is the enemy. Directional Antennas: If you are running Recon and transmitting to an element behind you, and you don't want your transmission going to the enemies ahead of you, you can use directional antennas to send transmissions. Know what the enemy is using. If the enemy is using 65.5 MHz all the time, stay far away from that frequency. You can also use this to your advantage by blending into the noise, if you're good enough.
