[aprssig] Terrestrial Threat to GPS Has Now Hit The MainstreamMedia.

[Rahn Abbott]

Ummmm, you do know that that US Military GPS units and your Garmin Etrex are
not listening to the same radio signals right? You do know military and US
government GPS runs on a completely different system?

Yeah, but THIS time they're gonna affect a whole lot more than a couple
hundred thousand hams -- they're gonna royally foul up the military (in the
US), the new GPS approaches at many airports, hikers using GPS, and us.  Oh,
and of course, all those owners of cars with moving-map displays fed by a
GPSr.  I suspect the fan is about to get hit.

I don't know if any of these tell, but at least one manufacturer presented
data to the FCC showing this interference capability and they ignored it and
went forward.  I'll see if I can find that one agan.

BPL. this, then the 440 band...  I guess you just follow the money.
