        They phone home over cell. Usually 4g LTE with relatively high gain antennas. You wont jam it with that.

            A lifehack that might wind you up in federal prison. Breaking company equipment is one thing and it might cost you your job and a small settlement. That’s the kind of advice I don’t mind giving. I do generally try not to tell people to commit felonies.

              This is for emergencies, during riots and such because it can take down drones and disrupt communication. I think people should figure out for themselves if their use case is morally permissible and worth the risk. I’m just sharing info that’s readily available. Also owning this is legal where I live and I’m not even sure we have a word for felony.

        radio jammers like this are federally illegal in the US and possession of one is a massive felony. That’s if anyone notices and you get caught, but just a heads up.

          Oh good to know. Pretty sure owning them is fine in Germany but distribution or actually using them will still get you in trouble.

            yeah owning one alone is unlikely to get you caught, and you can probably come up with excuses (“it’s just an SDR not a jammer!”) but they’re extremely heavily restricted over here.
