“That stuff went out what, 15 years ago?”
LOL. Well - my son is 20 years old now, and he was just a little fella when we would go down to watch the planes!
So what your saying is they need to go with the sniper idea to stop these drones!?
I still have a couple of older single-frequency transmitters but go out in the desert to use them. This way I avoid all types of interference and don't bother anyone else. Several of the frequencies were commandeered by the FCC for use in pagers and other type of RF communication.
The "drone", if it was hobbyist operated (I think it was government), was probably a First Person View (FPV) system. The model aircraft carries a video camera and the operator receives real time video visible on a screen or video goggles.
Somewhat home-brewed setup:
Reminds me of the tinfoil hat guy.
