It's complicated - IED in Iraq
Topic: Technology 9:22 am EDT, Apr 21, 2005

] I was connected via a soldier on Iraq who sent me a
] picture of the radios they are using to set off the
] IEDs. Some of them are using FRS radios (Family
] Radios). The picture I saw was a Motorola TalkAbout
] 5000 (or something like that).
]
] What I did was make a FRS radio connected to a 7 watt
] external amplifier, and with a BASIC stamp controlling
] the main function buttons of the radio. It will hop through
] all 838 possible codes (22 channels, 38 privacy codes) and
] transmit for 1 second on each channel. Hopefully
] setting off the bombs before they drive through.

Very interesting. There is a picture of a nokia phone that someone has attached a small circuit board to. I assume the voltage for the ringer switches a relay that trips the explosive. Pretty tech savvy for an islamist fundi. They should find one of these guys for make magazine. :)

Check out the rest of this guy's Blog for an interesting look at Iraq.
