A photo with two radio masts allegedly shows a “Stasi car” that is said to have been in Kandel during a demonstration.

This photo is now intended to “prove” that all mobile communications were intercepted using a radio jamming station. The extent to which one would like to speak of a complex listening method here is of course purely a matter of interpretation. It is also questionable whether the antennas shown can even listen in this way. Some technical ignorance comes to light in the interpretation of these radio links shown.

In this picture you can also clearly see what type of vehicle this is.

Radio-controlled vehicle FuKw UKW 92

It is a radio vehicle that is used by the federal police, but also the state police. The range of uses for this vehicle can be found in more detail bos-fahrzeug.info website

The tasks of this vehicle include setting up a radio infrastructure at larger deployment sites and setting up a radio control center for relay operation.
Furthermore, a transfer from radio to wire (normal telephone network) is one of the tasks possible due to the vehicle's equipment.
Ultimately, the vehicle and its equipment can be used to effectively document and monitor radio traffic at larger locations.

The basic structure of the vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz 917 A (LN 2). The superstructure of this vehicle was carried out by the company Odenwaldwerke Rittersbach (today OWR GmbH). The two visible antenna masts are 2 pneumatic masts that are 10 m and 15 m long. Two multi-range antennas and a directional radio antenna can be attached to these masts.

Directional radio antennas?

Yes, this type of antenna is also known in the civil sector. These are used when you want to set up (secure) radio links. Directional radio links are used in the civil sector, for example in companies, when wireless communication is to be carried out between two company buildings. For this purpose, there must be a clear field of vision between the communicating systems if possible.

Remote locations, i.e. dead spots, can also be reached in a targeted manner with the help of radio link systems. Microwave radio systems focus their beams and can therefore greatly increase the range. To do this, however, the remote station of the system MUST be within the beam range of the radio link. Targeted is the key word here! Directional radio antennas only have a certain transmission and reception angle, these angles are usually around 45°. If you are not within this angle, then no communication will take place. In this respect, wide-range radio antennas are not at all suitable for disruptive operations such as scattered radio.
