[aprssig] GPS Jamming On The Rise

[Dave Baxter]

More likely (and has been documented in the past) a high harmonic of the
RX's LO is leaking out, and as the GPS signals are barely above noise
anyway, it doesnt take much to disrupt them.

If you're using a Garmin GPS V, I can jam it with my FM broadcast radio
on 94.3MHz at 50 ft.  I imagine the IF freq's are mixing. Took me the
longest to figure out why in the morning drive I could not get a fix,
but the afternoon drive no problem (different stations morning and
evening) of course this was pre-Sirus...

	Your APRS tracker could be getting trashed by the car next to
you!

	While most of the post deals with military applications/threats,
I 
	thought this reference to domestic use of jammers was
interesting:
	
	"Meanwhile, several Internet sites offer small, localized GPS
jammers 
	for sale in the U.S. domestic market. These include a "GPS
Blocker"
	with 
	an advertised 10-meter to 20-meter range for roughly $200. "Just
plug 
	into a standard cigarette lighter with 12 V for power," says the
web 
	page,
	 "and it will automatically protect you from any GPS tracking on

	and within your vehicle. This is a popular item with sales
personnel and 
	delivery drivers, who wish to take lunch or make a personal stop
outside 
	of their territory or route."
