Nah. BaoFengs are cheap, and they work well enough. I have a couple, and they’re ok. The ones I have have 4-5 bands that they operate (Tx-Rx) on. So the problem is finding the frequencies that the Opfor is using. That’s the part that takes some time and serious intel.
Chances are they’re using the FRS band (462 MHz). They’re cheap, meaning you can buy them in 10 or 20-packs for as little as $14.99 each. I doubt a majority of them will be using sophisticated comms. The upper hierarchy may have more sophisticated comms. (Maybe smart phones? Commercial trunked-LMR radios? Black market ISRs?)

Baofengs are cheap and more than good enough for this use. In addition, if you lose it, or the opfor destroys it, you’re not out a lot of money. They’re as close to a throw-down radio as you can get.
Broadband jamming. It’s both simple, and complex.
Find the frequencies the Opfor is using, that gives you the band. Then buy/make a broadband (not single frequency) transmitter and turn it on.
You need to be close enough to have your transmitter affect their reception. But you don’t have to be right on top.

FCC will take a rather dim view of such antics, however. I remember from my days dabbling in Children’s Band radio that the FCC would have vans out to triangulate searching for locals who liked to broadcast at levels well above the 4W limit for CB with linear amplifiers. Some of these yahoos would be stepping on you with 1KW or more, and they’d be doing it from a couple of cities away.
Truth be told, CB bands should be swapped with some of the ham bands, and make those the unlicensed ones as it’s a LOT more difficult to get them to go long distances, whereas CB is ridiculously easy.
Was that Gaffigan calling Jason for his Hot Pockets?
That fucking marshmallow would never hit the streets himself so calling the boys home to their basement dweller dinner on the radio is about right for him.
If your casualty and mishap rates suddenly increase for no apparent reason, and there is no discernible / traceable cause, one could infer the presence of Zed or someone like him. It is the old “the third time is enemy action.”

Hot Pockets? I thought they would be chowing down on vegan pot brownies
I’d guess the probability the Dims are plotting with a foreign enemy to manufacture a serious international crisis before the election is nearing 99.9%. Kamala’s recent projection-lie would seem to indicate it.
Hmm, well then; so you’re saying that a bunch of “Dim”(wits) are pulling off an international psy-op in broad daylight? OK, and furthermore I’ll go ahead and add that there’s nothing anyone is going to do to stop it.
Right, so we’re all being duped, and although we can see it happening there’s no apparent way to stop it. OK, I might even be with you on all of that, except this part- If I hear you right, those who are pulling of an international conspiracy, with the world’s media almost entirely on their side preaching their agenda, the schools and global institutions seemingly in lock step with them, and most of them getting rich and powerful in the process, are all a bunch of comically retarded, weak-minded, foolish, pathetic dummies? Nope; I can’t go all the way with you on that one. Not quite.
It seems to me that once they’ve gained control of all our most important institutions, have the most rich and powerful people in the world on their side, have the United Nations and the biggest religions on their side, and have flooded the world with their doctrine and their agendas, and they’re still making headway, we should no longer be laughing at them and calling them “Dim” and so on.
Just maybe, the idea that they’re all a bunch of idiots (who happen to control the world) represents one of the greatest psy-op successes in the last five hundred years! But then you know what that makes us, don’t you? Dim. Maybe we’re the dummies. Dummies laughing at the masterminds.
“You have the right to a coroner. If you cannot afford one, a coroner will be appointed for you.”
“You have the right to an autopsy. Any evidence obtained during your autopsy will be used against you and to exonerate the person forced to terminate your life.”
“You have the right to decompose. Your remains will be buried or burned to prevent the effluvia of your decomposition from offending the public.”
“Do you understand these rights as I have explained them?”
You also have to assume they will change frequencies on some kind of schedule, some kind of triggering event, whenever net control orders a change, or some combination of the three.
Of course that assumes they will be smart enough to even think about comm security.

I liked the Firefly/Serenity reference, and hope I’m not the only one who got it… 😉
In other news, Biden’s attempt to lie about the rioters is so transparent that I can not believe anyone except Darwin Award-level idiots fall for it.
I would like someone to show Biden’s and the DNC/PLD faction’s true double standard on this.
Biden gets asked to explain how he feels about someone being shot for wearing a MAGA shirt. After he responds that ‘Maybe the person shouldn’t wear such inflammatory apparel,’ ask how he feels about someone getting shot for wearing a ‘Joe Biden for President’ shirt…
The response no doubt would be truly illuminating I think…
Our current AG has shown every sign of being both thorough and patient. I suspect he’s giving the Left as much rope as he can to let them hang themselves, and that will include the Swamplings inside Federal Law Enforcement. I’ve only recently seen references to applying RICO to BLM, but Barr probably already has actionable stuff.
What he’s really after are the big deep fish, wherever they may lurk.
A good scanner, used locally, could assist in sorting them out from the chatter. They likely won’t be using the local 2m and 70cm repeaters, so blank those channels and focus on the other traffic…
Since these idiots have been using the internet to assemble quickly, I’ve always wondered why they don’t get infiltrated and ordered to assemble en masse in some place of our or LE’s choosing.
You know, “calling all idiots, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, and Ben Shapiro have all been spotted down at the abandoned warehouse in the West End. We suspect a rally is about to happen. Idiots! Assemble!”
One of the comments out of my sources I saw for Minneapolis was the note that the coordinating activity for the strike was good – they were monitoring police bands, and using their own comms for movement coord. This was from a local security firm tracking the activity. Sadly the elected politicos disarmed the Minneapolis police, who (from personal experience) don’t have anything approaching a clean bill to begin with, but had a chance to effectively deal with the impact given a chance. Pity there isn’t a corresponding anti-antifa organization that is doing counter-espionage/counter domestic terrorist work – call it The Shadow….

There are endless opportunities to screw with Antifa’s and BLM’s tactical command and control, limited only by your imagination.
What will be really cool is the Bao Feng radios with the high explosive upgrades.
The Mossad might have instructions as to that!
I wonder what frequency/frequencies/band they’re using? …and surely their deep pockets are buying better than Baofeng!

I do wonder how Chris knows about them, though…
Wow! Tron Guy is in da house! Cool.
Damn straight! You’re on the (short) list of webcomics I follow daily.
Tron/Legacy failed in part because they ignored the grassroots web support you did for them. Ah, well.
Just a question: is there any way to shut off those frequencies with no warning? 🙂

Is Zed, like “Ghost”, still doing “favors” for the US Government?
Pardon? Ahem, we were never there…
(wink?) There? Where?

I would think it would be hard to get your rage up after eating those. Those are for after, I think.
A Serenity reference? Nice.
I missed it, where?
The title, “Can’t stop the signal, (Mal)”
Good reference.
“Can’t stop the signal, Mal. Everything goes somewhere, and I go everywhere” Mr. Universe
Javier does it again!

Dem dumbunnies are getting desperate. Goldberg, who “runs” The Atlantic, says Trump dissed WWI troops in France. That is completely not true.
Bolton (remember him?) says ‘No, he did not.”
Plenty of proof is available that Goldberg is lying and made that up.
When the dummycraps get this desperate, they make their desperation obvious to everyone.
All those sleazy things they are and have been doing will come back to haunt them.
That very old aphorism “Be careful what you wish for, lest it come true” (Aesop, 260 BC) is still in force.
Jeffrey Goldberg swore the Russian dossier was true.
“Warning, occupant fires for center mass, contact EMS prior to entering building”
A follow-on warning:
“You have the right to a coroner. If you cannot afford one, a coroner will be appointed for you.”
“You have the right to an autopsy. Any evidence obtained during your autopsy will be used against you and to exonerate the person forced to terminate your life.”
“You have the right to decompose. Your remains will be buried or burned to prevent the effluvia of your decomposition from offending the public.”
“Do you understand these rights as I have explained them?”
Warning shots will not be fired. All firing will be for effect.
Back doors, limited bands… This is why you use click codes for the majority of comms.
Which can be messed with if you know the band they’re using. Randomly clicking the tx button will confuse the heck out of ’em.
You also have to assume they will change frequencies on some kind of schedule, some kind of triggering event, whenever net control orders a change, or some combination of the three.
Of course that assumes they will be smart enough to even think about comm security.

Don’t want to stop it, just intercept it…and be waiting for them at tonight’s assigned riot rendezvous.

I see many of the Soy boys relying on a Lenore for their sexual needs once the chronic carpel tunnel kicks in.
Grrr

Shadow would need to cut the head(s) off the snake/hydra. Maybe we should call it Shield?
