  • My whole life I have been living the lie that Privacy Codes and Privacy Tones (aka CTCSS, DTC, DCS) tones and codes on GMRS and ham radio are NOT private! But thanks to the The Internet, I have learned the folly of my ways! In this video I explain how Privacy Tones and Privacy Codes on ham radio and GMRS radios ARE actually private.

Well, if I am in a truck plowing the highway at 80mph and a gent walks into the road with a privacy flag, the oil smear in my wake is what I believe you have delicately and passionately taught us all! With hunger those nerds in the audience await your coming wisdom as the rest of us go on with our meaningless lives.
