The Gun Counter

A bit snide towards the militia types, and tends to try & tie the movement as a whole to the Bundy freakshow, but good information on what gear they're using and which frequencies they operate on.

Interesting article. With the Baofeng model UV-5R as their primary radio, it is pretty obvious they are on a tight budget. The radio is not bad, per se, but there are much better radios and programming software available for not all that much money.

I am surprised at the effort in command and control that they are doing, or attempting to do. I don't expect they have as much training and discipline as they should have for maximum effectiveness.

Interesting. I saw an article elsewhere castigating them for hanging their radios out front where they're easy to damage.

Also interesting that they lost a supply convoy because they were using a government repeater to discuss resupply and public users of that frequency reported them to the police. Bad communications security. The other interesting point to me about that was that the police didn't hear it themselves.

Unless the feds shut down the local cell network, $50 "burn" phones from Dollar General are more secure and anonomous.
