HAM gear , HF all mode transceivers, packet with simple plus 2 codes and steganography, old surplus PRC 25’’s and 77’s with repeaters being used to juuuuuust keep the origins locations a few blocks off. Hell I even run across working DES and SINCGARS (Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System) when I was wasting time with JTF-6.
... They watch the repeaters after set up. If they are discovered aka via old style triangulation their version of c3cM hops to the next one. Those are just the fixed sites.
Now mix in mobile rigs or adding such to simple RC helicopters or fixed wing RC “toys”......
IMO if the Jefazo has multi-million dollar ops in locations A, B and C then jam, intercept and disrupt the signals in locations A, B and C 24/7.
One of the tricks I have seen in the past was to record the message an change the speed for a poor boy variant of burst transmissions. Collected, played back at original speed its understandable. Most just hear a wee bit of static for a second.
Only my opinion of course.
Stay safe !!
Amateurs have been linking repeaters for a long time. Links are usually done on 70CM band (420 to 450 mHz) or combination of RF and internet linking.
You can be in San Antonio and use a hand held transceiver to communicate with another amateur in Houston using the linked repeaters. Maybe not “microwaves” but still done via RF.
Hams also link repeaters via the internet via Echolink or IRLP.

Who is buying the drugs? Lots of folks brother, lots of ‘em. And it’s not just the doing of them, it’s the money laundering involved. Imagine if you will, and this is a ridiculously low ball-park figure, but imagine if you were someone laundering $100,000 a month and 10% of that was yours. That’s ten grand a month free and clear. Multiply that by ten, twenty or thirty and you get an idea. It’s always about the money.
We sell an application that can turn a particular brand of digital radio into an extension on a PBX complete with SMS capability, all with 256 bit encryption. And it works over repeater networks.
If you weren’t specifically looking for that kind of signal you’d never find it.
Muy, muy interesante.
It’s a really slick app. You can literally dial to a radio just as if it were a phone. No cell network needed, just a repeater network. You can push work tickets or SMS to it and never break squelch.
The cartels have even been placing repeaters on the Mexican government towers.
