40-some years ago in L.A. some guys discovered that a Burger King drive-up kiosk was tied to the restaurant with an RF link. It was a simple matter to determine the frequency and modulation mode and program a hand-held transceiver to use the same link. They set up in an adjacent parking lot with a video camera and set about pranking the customers that drove up. The resulting video, titled "Attack on a Burger King" (these guys were video engineers,) was copied all around town by the same studio rats that shared session outtakes, Red's Tube Bar, etc. It ends with an employee coming out, jogging toward the kiosk, while the hackers convince the customer to flee the angry man approaching them. Dunno if it ever made it to streaming.

Ah, yes, A lot of old fast food drive-thru headsets were in VHF business band (and similar). The Phone Losers of America were well known for their exploits to that regard.
