How To Buy A Motorola Two-Way Radio - "Need-to-Knows" for First-Time Buyers and Agencies

This video is LONG! It was made for the sole purpose of HELPING buyers who have asked me questions about their radios and frequencies. I have answered many here. Also, I talk about the "signal bouncers" and tower invaders" and WHY I DO NOT program radios trunked! Some of you may not like the answers I give. To them, my response is that I don't give a flying fuck. Harsh, yes, but its for their own good. I have loyal viewers (they know who they are and many are customers) and they know what I am talking about here. This OBVIOUSLY does not include them. I aim this to the radio users who are trying to find ways to listen in to encrypted transmissions without the proper clearances, as well as those who try to affiliate to networks who have absolutely no business doing so and the legal ramifications of affiliating to a trunked and encrypted network by hacking in, or attempting to. I also address (OTAKC) which is an acronym for "Over-The-Air-Kill-Command" that dispatch consoles are equipped with that enable them to send a remote "kill command" to unauthorized users of two-way radios that will essentially "brick" your radio, rendering it useless without sending it in (and answering a LOT of questions as to just WHY this happened). You can be prosecuted in a Federal Court of Law for affiliating without authorization to use the networks. This video also addresses the fellows who try to break into a trunked system that is encrypted and try to listen in to encrypted conversations. Two Federal laws were passed in the mid 1990's prohibiting listeners from doing this sort of thing. It falls under the Federal Wire Tap Law. Below are links for buyers to use as tools to identify the frequencies currently in use in their respective counties, both TX and RX. This includes Public Safety agencies. It is for reference ONLY and is ONLY to be used in a legal manner. If you decide to use it illegally, you can't say I didn't tell you so. Below are also links to decode flashcodes and to decipher Model numbers on two-way radios. I am answering the questions here to avoid any more e-mail questions regarding questions like these. Use them.
