[time-nuts] GPS jamming susceptibility

[Collins, Graham]

This has been an interesting topic of discussion.

As a wee bit of a side track, many years ago while in the military and
living in the barracks, I used to be able "jam" my roommates FM radio by
tuning to a point 10.7mhz away from his favourite station. The LO of my
radio was radiating sufficiently strong enough that it could "jam" the
other radio up to about 50 feet away.

Cheers, Graham

Hi

If you run through the article the author claims that he's getting a few
hundred feet of range with a few hundred mw of power into a good
antenna.

Your cell phone and FM broadcast radio are equally susceptible under
typical conditions.
