Today we will be talking about War driving with your scanner radio to find frequencies that are in use during your day-to-day travels.
War driving is a term that comes from the Wi-Fi cracking or hacking hobby which basically means searching for open Wi-Fi wireless networks usually from a moving vehicle using a laptop or a smartphone.
"War Driving" can be one of the more interesting ways to find new frequencies.
What You Need To Know
- War driving is kind of a hit and miss type of deal, but it's very rewarding when things happen.
- You can find local repeaters that we did not know existed
- You may hear local businesses using frequencies or security agencies.
- Is it possible to security companies to use their own frequency? Yes, it is possible that they might be using the school's frequency.
- War Driving a fun way of finding out information or finding out what else is out there.
- Anytime you go out is an opportunity for you to put the scanner into a search mode and see if you can hear anything local.
- I recommend having a scanner that covers all the modes you're interested in like P25, NXDN, DMR, analog and digital scanners that should be able to record if you are mobile.
