The operation of transmitters designed to jam or block wireless communications is a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"). See 47 U.S.C. Sections 301, 302a, 333. The Act prohibits any person from willfully or maliciously interfering with the radio communications of any station licensed or authorized under the Act or operated by the U.S. government. 47 U.S.C. Section 333. The manufacture, importation, sale or offer for sale, including advertising, of devices designed to block or jam wireless transmissions is prohibited. 47 U.S.C. Section 302a(b). Parties in violation of these provisions may be subject to the penalties set out in 47 U.S.C. Sections 501-510. Fines for a first offense can range as high as $11,000 for each violation or imprisonment for up to one year, and the device used may also be seized and forfeited to the U.S. government.

My turn for a build thread I guess.

Just got most of the hardware done, still waiting on the amplifiers and the VCO's to get here, hopefully within the next week. And then there's the RF inductor that made a break for the other side of the room when I tried to pick it up with a pair of tweezers. :oops: But I don't think it turned out half bad. I wirewrapped the two boards together since I guess it's still technically "in progress" and I've got a pair of wires to connect the battery since I didn't want to hack up the JST on the only one I have :mrgreen:. Anyway, hardware was no problem, software, not so sure. Plugged everything in and there wasn't any smoke so that was a victory, plugged in a programmer (AVR Pocket Programmer) and ran AVRDude with the hardware test file from the wiki and it looks like no joy. Plugging a usb cable in gives me a COM9 with 19200 8N1 settings so that looks like it's all good, so the chip is obviously working, but I can't seem to do a loopback test with any serial data. No fun. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd highly appreciate them. But in the mean time, photo op!
