    Gentlemen, start you soldering irons!

    Superb programmable RF jammer, fits in a cigarette pack. Jams GPS, cell phone,
    WiFi or Bluetooth, etc. up to 20'.

    (Of course, it's probably illegal to use these in your neck of the woods, so
    watch your back. Hell, it's probably illegal to post this to Usenet, but I'm
    living dangerously these days. It may even be illegal to click on the link --
    are you feeling lucky?)

    It may not be illegal to click on the link, but it's very likely the
    FBI, CIA and DoD will have your name and address within seconds of the
    time you do click on it.

    Indeed, I believe you're right; it's not illegal to have the plans.
    But that won't stop the FBI or CIA from putting you on their
    computerized watch list in today's world! --and I'm not being
    paranoid!

    It depends. If you use an anonymising proxy, such as I
    am using now to post this message, if can make it
    difficult to trace you. I could click on the link, using an
    open proxy in a third-world country, and they would not be able to
    identify me.
    And GPS jammers are currently only illegal under state laws in
    Georgia,. California, and Florida, becuase they can interfere with the
    GPS ankle tracking devices.

  6. No, they're illegal virtually everywhere, because they transmit on a
    frequency that is reserved for a particular purpose, and they are not
    authorized or licensed for that frequency. Most countries have some
    sort of legislation that makes this illegal.

    Certain states may also have more specific laws that apply, but that
    doesn't mean that these are legal anywhere.

  7. It looks fishy to me. Why waste the time to make one. It just might
    be real counterintelligence technology.

    I would have to be able to buy one.

    I made one by taking five meters of delay line? And then reamplifiying
    the recieved signals.

    A mistimed packet to jam on the right frequency without PPL timeing
    and packeting worries!.

    five meters make for a fifty meter sideways delays.

    The FAA is going to learn the hard way to not use satilllites and to
    use nice 10 Kw microwave landing systems.
