Have you tried pulling apart your oven yet?  That's surely got one in it, assuming it's not from the 1970's.

Also some computers and cell phones have them.

I need my oven haha.
But I do have a couple of computers and cellphones laying around where in the computer would they be located? like on the mobo? power supply?

Any body else know of any other products I can pull em from?

Thanks guys

Holy sh!t thats fucking hillarius.
You have no idea.  I spent all day yesterday going through thrift shops and goodwill looking for a cb radio and buying toasters for a dollor each I finnally bought a CB radio off ebay for 30 bucks I knew something sounded fishy when you said it only works on digital cb radios.  The funny thing is I had two trc 217 in my hands opned them i couldnt find the existing crystal and didnt have a digital display so I bought that one instead.
Thanks though for telling me this. 
But im still confused did you guys really hack the drive throughs with another method that your not saying or was it all staged.
Good job on this great social engineering feat.

You rule for having an awesome sense of humor about it.  We talked on the drive-thrus using a Yaesu VX-7 and VX-5.  There's a very simple mod you can do to either of those radios that will let you broadcast on those frequencies.  I'm pretty sure it can be found on Google.  The only problem is the $250 - $300 pricetag.

[Meatstick]

Yeah im not 100% sure I wanna believe that just yet Im gonna do a little research on this Yaesu you speak of.
What really made me believe it was that it was on gizmodo.

EDIT: Do you know what frequency the drive through windows use so i can maybe find a cheaper way to do this?

[rbcp]

I can't believe you don't trust me!  When have I ever lied to you??

A Google search for fast food frequencies will give you a lot of different sites that list the commonly used frequencies for drive-thru speakers.  None of the lists are 100% accurate and the best way to find them is to sit in the parking lot of the fast food place with a scanner and scan them yourself.

[Meatstick]

Wow ok my knowledge is pretty much limited to computer software and hardware so bare with me here.

Does one 2way hand held broadcast on all these frequencies(like with an adjustable frequency) or is it one frequency per hand held.

And since I already ordered the trc 241 is there any mod i can put on it to make it useful/fun.

You can always harass truckers.

[Lestan Gregor]

Tachyon the butt man is right, harassing truckers is about the only thing. There are some cheaper ham radios out there that can be modded for this type of prank, but you're going to spend 170 bucks at the least. The mod is a simple diode removal.

Ok i get how the frequencies and all that stuff work now.
So what sets the Yaesu apart from a trc, besides the submbersivel and weather and other features like that.
My question is why can a Yaesu be modded to broadcast on the higher frequencies and the trc-241 cant be modded?  What makes regulates the frequency in the handhelds? the diodes?

[Lestan Gregor]

Im too lazy too look it up right now but i believe thats its done by ic chips nowadays. Pots in the radio can also be adjusted sometimes.It also depends on the intermediate frequency. pm imabadspellor, he knows a lot more about it then i do. I think he's got a higher license than me too. 

bottom line: the only other frequencies you might be able to get out of that cb will be the 10 meter ham band...which will just get you into trouble.
