Radio info: You can encrypt DMR. The Chechens and the Ukrainians used this mode at first until the Russians just assumed that if they detected DMR they would just target it.

What I am saying is don’t rely on it.

Learn and practice tactical radio ops.

I suggest getting your amateur radio technician license.

There are some good ebooks available by NC Scout, Sparks31, and Everyday Expert. You may find some of their comments objectional but they do have good tactical radio info.

You can look for them via your favorite pirate site.

It’s a matter of experimenting of what works and what doesn’t. Location, conditions, weather. Find some locals and talk to them. Watch videos. My favorite was Bill Dance.

Absofuckinglutely. I do the same.
