As a user of "P" code GPS (trimble) base stations, i think a jammer is the silliest thing i have ever heard of. I worked as a Base-op in burma, commie china, Egypt, and several other hot tourist spots!! for those that do not know, a base station takes the programmed error of GPS and averages it over a time period (longer it sets, more accurate it gets) then broadcasts that info on a VHS freq to the client GPS devices, this is useful for surveying. it brings the accuracy from +/- 40m to +/-.5m could be used for missile guidance systems, ??how far can line of sight VHF go??? i can throw a gov engineer further. So, here are my top 10 ways to jam a GPS base station 10) give the operator of the station access to a whore. 9) Drop some beer or whiskey nearby where he can find it. 8) Tell him you will give him $5 to turn it off 7) wait for him forget to refill the diesel tank 6) don't worry, it will break soon 5) supply him with an ECONOMY generator, preferably some cheap pc of crap purchased at Grainger 4) wait for his employer to screw him out of break days, he will intentionally crash the fucker then, just to cost em $$$$$ 3) move it 5m, (will take it 24hrs to figure out where it is) 2) let the freon out of the cooling system 1) just ask the operator, most could give a fuck
