    an antenna isn't measured in its end-to-end length, it's measured in its electrical lengthh (ie the length of the conductor). It could be wrapped in a fucking pretzel or a Gordian knot, as long as the conductor doesn't touch itself anywhere along its length, the ELECTRICAL length is the SAME as if it were stretched out straight.

    Learn something about antenna design before you go spouting bullshit about something you clearly know fuck all about.

    on 28 U.S. Code 534(a)(1): the only two Authorities for such action are judicial administration and national defense. Unless the United States Government has declared war on its own citizens (it hasn't as far as the White House still being vertical evidences), then neither Authority can be invoked since the activity is also warrantless and proactive.

    On 47 CFR 2.701(b), and 47 CFR 15.9: this requires LAWFUL AUTHORITY (ie a WARRANT from a JUDGE), which requires JUST CAUSE.

    Stingray is in direct violation of 47 CFR 15.15(c) *by design*, therefore its use would be illegal even if all other conditions were met. For "authorised users of the radio frequency spectrum", read: "ANYBODY WHO USES A CELLPHONE!"

    they appear to use a base-loaded helical whip on the pocket-portable version, which is called "Gossamer". The whole thing's about the size of a GP200 and the antenna's about the size of a 5/8 HAM rubberduck. In fact, it might well be a HAM rubberduck - at 450MHz it'd be equivalent to 23/8 wavelength (which would work, actually - my VX-5 is usually equipped with a 2m antenna which does a wonderful job at 70cm).

  25. Re:Stingray detector? on Feds Admit Stingray Can Disrupt Bystanders' Communications · · Score: 1

    I have one. It's called a Yaesu VX-5 pocket personal transceiver. It only covers the analogue (voice) channels below 1GHz (covers 450 and 800MHz gear) (doesn't go higher than 1GHz) but if there's a jamming signal being emitted at those frequencies that thing'll pick it up.

    (I wouldn't bother to be using it at anything other than a major public gathering, since that's the most likely place LE would use blanket jammers - not that they''re likely to in the UK since they use TETRA which piggybacks any available cell system. Targetted DOSing is so channel-specific, my radio is simply inadequate for the task).
