The FCC is getting serious about operating outside of privileges.

"What we've got here, is a failure to communicate"

[twanner]

Regarding the comment about a VHF signal not having range to trigger the radios. It is possible that drones equipped with VHF xmitters flying at high altitude would have LOS to an enormous area.

[TrenchKraft]

Never have the Mossad mod done to your radio. The spurious emissions can have a negative impact on your health.

I am throwing out a wag here. Often ICOM shares chassis and parts between amateur and commercial radios, which may be the reason for the space under the battery, such as a scrambler unit or other device. I have a v8000 which for most part was marketed as a commercial radio in South America. There were two different scrambling units available for this radio with only swapping out a tone board and cutting a trace. So this may be the reason for the space.A dive into the history books may find a similar commercial model that makes use of this space for for such an accessory. Thanks for the info and be safe.

Thank you for buying genuine used samples and also counterfeit samples. I am very curious what differences you discover. Looking forward to that report!

ICOM IC-V82 is the cheapest way to do digital voice scrambling by install the UT-114 optional Modules. And it the first handy in the market that can use DSTAR by install UT-118 optional Module.

[sandrodunatov]

much more sincere and informative than all the filler the media are feeding us on the subject. Great content as always

Google is reporting a huge increase in searches involving the care and feeding of carrier pigeons in the Middle East.

[supremetalentco]

Icom's marketing department is probably terrified.

[nigeljohnson]

Has it been established if the handhelds were all in the on state when they exploded?
A radio controlled detonation seems far more likely than the use of a time delay, given the long undetermined shipping and distribution delay. A RTC could be programmed to trigger the units to explode on a predetermined date and time, but politically this would be problematic given the long delay between modification and explosion. With such a long time scale, the political situation might have changed. It is likely that the military involved would wish to retain complete control of the timing of the attack. iF a modified sealed battery was used, it would be standard practice to encapsulate the detonation control circuit, including the receiver, within the explosive compound, that way much of the evidence would be obliterated in the explosion.

[peterdalton]

Icom says most likely these radios are Chinese knock-offs.

[JxH]

"...bought used IC-V82 radios..."
Brave move.

[kchaney]

Thank you for breaking this down in such an understandable way.

[mikesradiorepair]

Probably triggered by cellular towers. You would only need a postage stamp sized cellular receiver and tiny patch antenna in the battery pack.

[DavidDiaz-zphu]

They weren't ignited by a timer that is just rediculous, u wouldn't have control to set them off at the most desired time, besides, the pagers had to be immediately prematurely set off because someone had gotten suspicious. Range is not a problem with multiple synchronized transmission devices spread out in the area. They absolutely were set off remotely.

[BruceForster-kn]

At one time, many years ago, one of the OFFICIAL Radios used by the IDF was the Icom IC-W2A. The MOSSAD was able to make several AMAZING Mods to that Radio, which, to this day, are not talked about.

[MarioVe]

Thank You for this Video, i would love to hear more on the subject, so many unanswered questions, thank you for your efforts 73's

Israel now offering free wireless earbuds to all affected by this tragedy.

[johnm]

FWIW I had a IC-V82 with a D-Star board, so there's plenty of space inside the radio body. There was also a "scrambler board" that fit in the same place for use in public service bands (under a slightly different model number). Should be interesting to see what you actually receive from Ali Express.
