You aren't neglecting SIGINT, are you, Jow Forums?
I listen to the police scanner in my area to hear about any happenings. Might be a good idea to have one for SHTF. Of course, you'll need to know how to patch into an encrypted frequency

>Of course, you'll need to know how to patch into an encrypted frequency
So... you gonna tell us or just leave us hanging?
Hell if I know
In other news, a guy is getting a shotgun somewhere. Stay tuned
What's a good budget option for a scanner?
Where can I find local frequencies?
If you wanna just start, they have apps for it
Thanks asshole
stop being lazy faggot
my local department encrypts their shit... how do I listen in?
Steal a police radio
well thats gonna be tricky
Not really
Why does that gun have a nipple?
JFC you have to be kidding me. It's a threaded barrel for compenators and suppressors, it currently has a thread protector on it.
Or you could buy one.

Its important to know the difference between Encrypted and Encoded.
P25 is a digital encoded trunked radio standard that supports encryption. If you have a P25 capable radio (or a cheap SDR dongle and the right plugins) you can listen to p25 channels as long as they don't encrypt.
Spoilers, law enforcement is dogshit at actually keeping proper encryption, either someone has fucked their encryption key again, or is just a retard transmitting in clear.
And that's before you even get into jamming, tracking and other fun shit you can do to p25 networks with 2 braincells, a bit of cash and the ability to google instructions.
>when the cops come to confiscate guns but you turn the jammers on
I hobby scan Police, Fire, EMS, Aviation, and sometimes even Rail feeds in my local area.
Also monitor crime stats for spikes.
Every cop be gangster until the backup not comin
>be cop inna cruiser
>driving out in the wilderness looking for bigfoot and shit
>notice you haven't heard a radio call for like an hour
>call to dispatch just to make sure your radios are working
>nope they don't seem to be working
>hmm well that's odd let's turn around and go home, this isn't very sa-
Its crazy dumb how easy it is to be able to jam the shit out of emergency services using P25 systems.
Also every purpose built P25 radio will silently transmit a "please repeat" in response to receiving a valid header with a bunch of garbage where useful data should be. With a few cheap receivers you can have live tringulated tracking of cops, ems, and fire. And cops wont be the ones who catch on first. Amateur radio nerds are far more likely to realize whats up than leos.
any good sites for info on the topic?
en.wikipedia.org
The wiki is actually a pretty good top level overview. Then start reading sources.
Thanks man
its probably just digital
digital scanners are expensive
