These are actually legitimate questions. Don't know why you're hating on him. Emergency Alert system is a powerful tool. Taking down communications is certainly something they'll want to do before Jan 6th....

My question... Do you think that we would have one ONE place to put out an message?

light151 23 points ago +27 / -4

I'm honestly not confident. All our communication methods are controlled by the government. I can't name one other than word of mouth that couldn't be disrupted.

HAM radio. Learn it.

GMRS for me. I don't have a ham license, never took the test.

Look for repeater capable radios. Avoid cheap bubble pack radios as they are not repeater capable.

No test needed for GMRS. Only $75 fee for license registration.

It's smoke signals for me.

Those dirty commies are sure to put off a smoke dark enough to be seen for miles.

So President Trump is going to hop on HF and send out a morse code message, and all the boomers are going to hobble out of their radio shacks and ride their horses through the neighborhoods like Paul Revere, and tell everyone the Chinese are coming? You really think that's the plan?

You need an FCC License or they fine you I mean everything is s regulated these days

BadRadDad 12 points ago +12 / -0

FYI during an emergency situation you do NOT need a license to use HAM radio. Look it up. Beyond that. HamRadioPrep.com can have you ready to test in like 20 hours. I did. Took two days and I tested online. Had my license 2 days later.

Technician and General is $35 for the two...then if you review them they will send you code for a Baofeng UV-5r course free. I completed my Tech...pretty easy. Working on my General now.

tonypace2009 9 points ago +10 / -1

From my understanding you can listen without the licences but not comunicat without license but honestly when the shit hits the fan pretty sure fcc license will be a moot point.

2
BadRadDad 2 points ago +2 / -0

True...you can listen but not Transmit. FCC regs state in an emergency you don't need a license to transmit. So no need to worry about the laws. HOWEVER....there is a learning curve to finding a station...tuning your equipment, and making connections. It's not a CB where you just tune to 19 and yell "where's the bear?" The ability to Transmit has made me aware of the limitations or issues with my cheap equipment. If you just want to listen..try an SDR (software defined Radio) or DudeStar a software package for DMR (digital radio through the internet)

If we're in the middle of a civil war who cares

tdwinner2020 3 points ago +5 / -2

For radio and TV transmissions the EBS is highly redundant. You know those modem-like sounds you hear in the beginning of an emergency broadcast? Yeah, well, they are modem sounds because that is digital metadata being sent to all stations that can hear it. Radio and TV stations are required to listen for these transmissions from other stations, and they have to decode these, and the code says where the broadcast should be spread (some affected area, statewide, nationwide), and if a station should spread it, it must. And this is all automatic. This was designed during the cold war in case of nuclear war.

For texts, I've no idea how it works. Maybe it's not redundant, or maybe it is, but why design it to have a single point of failure?

Most likely CodeMonkeyZ is making noise and looking uninformed.

Probably congress passing a measure with unanimous support, or obama. Wouldnt surprise me.

fbeeee 26 points ago +26 / -0

Running the EAS over the internet would be dumb, given what its designed for.

How it works is there's one radio station in each city that listens for signals from the government through multiple ways. The other stations literally just listen to that station all the time, and when it activates, all the others activate.

I think this is also why they can't play EAS tones on the radio - the system can't tell the difference between recordings and legit messages.

24
CouleeCountry 24 points ago +24 / -0

I run our EAS server and this is correct. We monitor 2 FM stations, NOAA, and statewide EAS plan has us monitoring an Internet IPAWS feed the gov shots alerts out from. 4 layers of reception when the zombies rise up.

Why the hate?

Anyone can ask random valid questions that have nothing to do with the issues in front of us and just get people spinning their wheels. You need a justification for asking some things. Why would he think there was going to be an EAS test today?

Cozette 11 points ago +14 / -3

Who are YOU to determine the validity of any question right now dear anonymous opiner? Btw Rons background is easily found for those who don't already know. Finally, perhaps research the ground rules for successful brainstorming sessions so you can enhance rather than diminish its productivity. God speed, pede.

NaturalBornTexan 8 points ago +9 / -1

There’s been some other recent posts on TDW about a test of the emergency alert system...except they linked to an article from two years ago. If this is what Ron is referencing also, it’s disingenuous. If he has a source for why the emergency alert system was supposed to be tested today, then he should post that. Otherwise, why should that even be considered a possibility?

That's not true and this isn't a headline. It's a question. You've turned this into any sentence which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word "no".

It all sounds very clever to repeat these things but it doesn't mean it is clever.

This is the correct point. By posing them as questions, it leaves room that they may not be true, but definitely contains interesting and relevant information that deserves further investigation.

Trumpman1 4 points ago +5 / -1

I swear I heard some "credible" source say that there was going to be an emergency text test at 1:18pm CST one of these past few days, maybe today. I can't remember. But I remember the time.

It was a mistake on the Breighton situation update the other day. The article he referenced was from Reuters a couple years back. Honest mistake but a big one.

I feel like Ron is starting to make himself sound less credible with these comments. Like he’s trying to live up to this breaking news 24 hour news cycle. He needs to focus on being right.

Dear normie, larps by definition, are posted anonymously. Rons been very public including doing interviews on OANN etc. Hence Ron is NOT a larp. Please use words you understand rather than parroting the Corporate Orwellians who are trying to pervert another important word into a midwits edgy pejorative.

Chan culture needs to be destroyed. Forums like this one are where it's at -- I was interneting back before 4chan was a thing and always though the image boards were for the low-IQ, low barrier of entry crowd.

Seems like people are figuring out that this way of doing things is much better. If there is one thing that reddit got right, it was how to make a forum look good and strip out all the extraneous bullshit that one would find on something like vbulliten and whatnot.

Troll -1 points ago +1 / -2

I'm not allowed there after they called the FBI on me. Sorry kiddo but 4chan was always for the mouthbreathers. The channers lifted all their information off other forums while lowering the quality of discussion with people who, for example, get offended that their favorite "based website" is insulted. I was making fake antifa groups while you were still posting /b/ memes and giggling at that "based anime meme" you posted.

There is a reason qanon targeted 4chan and 8chan. Like every GNAA troll that channers copied, all the real men were sodomizing reddit long before 4chan arrived late on the scene taking credit once again.
