Hello All,
Thank you so much for all the interesting replys. I appreciate the
numerous
responses.
Please allow me to respond to my original post.
I am curious if some of the "cell-phone jamming devices "actually work as
the various manufacturers say they do.
I have seen myriad different devices advertised for sale claiming various
areas of effective attenuation for diameters ranging from , some claim 30,
50 meters and more.
Does anyone have any firsthand experience with any of these devises and
which ones if so?
I of course would want this information for educational purposes only, as
I
understand they are illegal to operate in my country, the US.
If anyone has any first hand experience with these devices and would be
kind
enough to share the type, brand name model or whatever you wish, it would
be
appreciated.
Again, let me thank you for all the responses, and I apologize for any
breach of netiquette in advance.
Sincerely,
bc
meters,etc
