[FedCom] Civil Air Patrol Tightens OpSecurity RadioCommsInformation

[Dave J]

Just takes a minute with a current scanner to ID both the freq and the
tones.

Frequencies can be "classified" until you start using them.  As soon as they
are used any yahoo with a halfway (or less) decent scanner can find them and
ID the tones.

I expect that a non-CAP member (who hasn't signed any non-disclosure
statement) will find them and get them into radioreference.com within hours
of them being placed in service in his or her area.  It's kinda unfortunate
but there it is.

So us readers of FEDCOM will have the information, but the actual CAP
participants will be kept in the dark and won't be able to program scanners
at home to keep track of what's going on in their own group.  You wonder who
the paranoid nut-cases are who sit in darkened rooms in D.C. dreaming this
stuff up.  If a CAP unit is going to be interacting with DEA or "Homeland
Security", give them a DEA or DHS encrypted radio to use temporarily and let
them have their own system to enjoy without all the hocus-pocus.

Aaaah . . . our tax dollars at work!!

> . . . even personal radios purchased will be programmed with the
appropriate
radio channel designations for simplex & repeater access (freqs & tones) by
the Wing/Group radio communications staff BUT the typical users will not
have access to see to the actual frequencies or tone codes programmed.
