    2 Calls into repeater.

    Today I put two calls into a local repeater from a parking lot. Got no response so I moved on. No sooner had I left than a police car shows up searching for me. By then I was clear of the area but I could see them checking around. No doubt , they are monitoring my posts on this boars, and they are monitoring my cell phone and radio. They are watching me closely.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    Hello.

    First off, put in 2 calls, as in you told them where you are at?
    Unlike cellular, something that auto-triangulates, one would need to DF a signal into a repeater.
    Monitor this board? I can assure you that "they" monitor everything.
    By my very nature I am monitored.
    Between my contact with a few members of a motorcycle club that just got busted to my running around Mexico to my unusual contacts? I am sometimes suspect.
    And, so, the police catch up with me, what next?
    Find a law student in your area and explain your concern, any attorney can find out what is happening.

    Since "everything" is monitored by "the man", may I say to any government spook that is reading this:

    Welcome to 4 land. Everytime I went out while in Central FL, a cop cruiser went by. Wherever I was. None appeared the time a hoodie tried to run me down at the parking lot one day, but there were plenty of badges when his car got hit by clear air lighting when he tried to catch me at my destination. It was ironic. The hit was so hard that the entire top of the car was blasted away. There were a lot of embarrassed guys wearing blue and green that afternoon. God has his ways.

    Hello.

    Years ago I had trouble with the Republicans and the attendant police that follow them around.
    I do not hate cops but was not all that excited, the FBI agent I was working with at the time felt I should develop an understanding with them.
    Remember, I spent time in Germany, both East as well as West, so I grew up with in a society that fears the police.
    But, I learned early on, information is power.
    I also learned very early on that silence is golden, or, as the saying goes, loose lips sink ships.
    Amateur Radio, by its very nature, is open to anyone who wants to monitor.
    Cops now use ham radio, some may question why someone outside their circle is on "their" repeater.
    Or, they may have a problem with someone jacking with their system, and you are automatically a suspect, you have a transmitter.
    I know that some of the very early Nextel (Fleetcall) units were transitional from type I trunking to iDEN, and can do type II.
    How hard do you think it is to put that on the police frequencies? remember that Motorola put all 800MHz "channels" in every radio, set it up for that system and it works.
    I also cracked the MDT units, easy as the Motorola scheme is not encrypted in any way.
    So, very cheap radios, and anything from a 286 and above made an excellent MDT terminal.
    County reserves were trying to get me involved, all kinds of chit.
    Remember my FBI connection?
    We set up a sting with government owned radios, N5ALT who was the chief of the Bexar county reserves was removed of supervisor authority over this.
    The new sheriff, Harlon Copeland had no choice but to do what the FBI wanted, this gives you an idea.

    Well, as we aren't important and aren't doing anything, well, except for Rudy and his Bourne Identity / Matrix exciting lifestyle, I will try to resist the temptation to get my tin foil hat out of the mothballs.
