Good Evening to All, I hope everyone is safe and dry. I know some have lost so much in this horrible tragedy. I am looking forward to the bounce back and recovery phase. If anyone needs any assistance, I will do what I can to help and that is a standing offer.
This is a great topic for Hams to grid their brains. I am sure we will get some great feed back like Joe's. My cousin in a paramedic and we use to listen to him while he was at work for years. I have always own some sort of Police Scanner for as long as I can remember. In the navy we listened to everything and I took on the opinion that if you didn't want people to listen on what you put out on the air waves, then you would encrypt it. Trunking make these a bit tricky, but can be over come. Old analog cell phones and cordless phone were horrible and almost as bad as the old POTS Party lines the used out in the country. Just like all of our other rights, The right to Privacy comes with the obligation that you keep thing private on your part. Transmissions, Email, Facebook, and the likes are not what I would ever consider as private. We are limited in the bands on what we can operate on, but very unlimited on what we can receive. What ever laws are out there are very hard to enforce for transmits much less the receive side. If I use the information in an obvious manner I am sure there could be consequences. Listening in on Heroes at work I would hardly call a capitol offense. They have the means to keep people out when they need to and I am sure they don't care a the moment, they have more important things to do. I don't like to beat a dead Horse, but I don't mind riding one for a bit. :) Thank You and Stay Safe, Jeff KG5LRP On Wed, Aug 30, 2017 at 10:20 PM, Jo Keener via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: > Listening in > > How do you think that tv news folks get the location of events.
