i don't know if i told the story on here about me and baby monitors...a family about three miles down the road got these wireless baby monitors that kept interfering with me on around 50MHz...got pretty annoying after a while...so i turned my antenna to their house and gave them a piece of my mind, and told them what they could do with their cheap consumer electronics; although maybe not in those exact words

I never heard it again, I think they got the message...after probably getting scared chitless from hearing that coming out of it, heh.

It's always good fun to get the input/output frequencies of local fast food places you don't particularly like, park in a line-of-sight to the drive-through and order food for people...or confuse the fudge out of the people taking orders

LMAO!

how much work does it take to get a setup that can do that?

Work? Well, wiring the radios aren't that different than wiring amps, you need power/ground through the firewall, in my case i mounted the chassis under the seats and remotely mounted the control heads up in the cab. Drilling the 3/4" holes in the roof (and the almost 2" hole in back for the ball mount) with a hole saw was the scariest part of the entire thing. There's something cathartic about taking a power drill to your exterior, and seeing light come through a nice hole in the sheet metal

of course, playing around with fast food joints is a legal no-no...

to do the APRS stuff i was talking about earlier, and to talk to other people on it instead of just listen, you need a license. which, if you know how to install a basic system, you've got the basic theory down for the entry level exam.
