want circuit/schematic for CB "jammer"
Golly -- FYI:
Jamming is illegal -- subject to an FCC fine -- 73 From The Signal In The Noise Caveat Lector Ya All "Limitedselection" wrote in message ... Help! I want to effectively "jam" CB reception on my property. The "jammer" would need to be low power and cover an area about as large as a 'small' city block. I have searched google, but I have only found references to schematics that were either posted to usenet as a picture (thus not saved in google archives), or located on web servers in domains that no longer exist. Any information would be appreciated! |

I won't offer legal advice, but I can offer technical advice.
There's no way to make a signal stop at your property line, short of putting a perfect shield around your property. And if you did that, you wouldn't be bothered by your neighbor's CB anyway. It also looks like you might misunderstand what "jamming" does and how it works. There's no practical way to make interference go away by "jamming". "Jamming" is a masking technique. For example, the communist bloc nations used to jam Western broadcasts, with high-power transmitters placed close to the intended audience, and producing powerful noise-like signals. So all the intended audience could hear is the noise, and not the Western broadcasts. If you build a local jammer, you'll simply hear it instead of the CBer. That is, you'll just be replacing the interference he causes with interference you cause. You can accomplish the same thing by running the jamming signal modulation into some earphones, putting them on, and turning off the radio the CBer is interfering with. Roy Lewallen, W7EL Limitedselection wrote: To "Caveat Lector": Thanks for your 'help'! Apparently you are a lawyer (or play one on usenet)? Somehow I don't think the FCC would fine me for jamming CB reception on my own property. I specifically asked for a low power circuit that would only cover the area around my house - not powerful enough to reach the neighbors. Since I would be jamming myself I would not complain. Since it's my property the FCC would not know I was doing it - if they drove up to my gate it specifically says "No Trespassing - violaters will be prosecuted". Since the signal would not leave my property, and there would be no complaints, and it would not interfere with anyone other than me, and to detect the jamming signal you would have to trespass on my land (at your peril) - I assume that I could 'get away' with it. Again, any help (other than legal advice) would be greatly appreciated! |

Roy,
Thanks - Mike posted about sky waves (I was unaware of), so even a very low power device centrally located in my property would apparently be heard world-wide - which is NOT what I want. Actually, I did want to jam the reception of the existing CB signals on my property (at least in and around the house). One of my neighbors uses rather 'salty' language and the local kids use some walkie talkies around the house - I fugured that jamming the outside signals would still allow the kids to talk due to their close proximity. Thanks again. From: Roy Lewallen There's no way to make a signal stop at your property line, short of putting a perfect shield around your property. And if you did that, you wouldn't be bothered by your neighbor's CB anyway. |

Get FRS radios for the kids. They are cheap, reliable, and will NOT receive standard CB transmissions. |

Hm, that is an interesting problem. The trick would be to have a signal
that's always considerably stronger at the walkie-talkies than the CBer's, regardless of where they might be in the house or on the property, but always considerably weaker than the signal from the other walkie-talkie. That won't be easy, if it's possible at all. Your best shot would be to use another walkie-talkie, because it would be directly radiating on the right frequency. It'd also be legal, for what that's worth to you. You'd need to reduce its signal output by shielding, cutting down the antenna, reducing the battery voltage, or some other means like stringing ferrite cores over the antenna. But I wouldn't bet on its accomplishing what you're trying to do, unless the CB interference is pretty weak. Reducing the walkie-talkie receiver sensitivity is another option, if the receiver is separately accessible internally and you know enough about such things to do it. But I think the best idea, suggested by another poster, is to contact the FCC. The law can, occasionally, be used to your advantage.

I do NOT want to interfere with any reception (other than my own).
How about just turning your CB receiver off? |

How about just turning your CB receiver off? Bob, Excellent advice! Would it be okay with you if I hang on to your email address so I can contact you in the future when I need assistance solving what I believe to be complex problems - which you will be able to solve instantly by focusing your intellect on the exact nature of the problem and suggesting a wise, perceptive, and simple solution! Thanks again. |

Subject: want circuit/schematic for CB "jammer"
From: "Dick Carroll;" Limited, you're doing a LOT of a ass-uming here! Dick, That I am ... I ASSumed that it would not be a problem to ask for this. From a google search I had done I saw that this did come up from time to time - but usually the schematic was posted as a jpg - which google does not retain. Occassionally there was a URL pointing to the location of schematics - but these all refer to non-existant domains - or non-existant pages now. I ASSumed that I could just ask and someone might have the information. Apparently giving this information to someone is a crime according to some of the replies I have received. Apparently asking for this information is a crime according to other replies I have received. Apparently even thinking about this topic is a crime according to some of the replies I have received. So, to all who I did offend by asking for this information I apologize for my thought-crime. Big Brother loves you all. |

Earlier someone suggested using a mobile CB with a car battery and a magnet antenna and a garbage bag - and placing this as close to the neighbor antenna as possible. I think building a low-power jammer and placing it close to his antenna would be a better solution. Less expensive and totally disposable. You are one of the few people on Earth (well, at least on usenet - on usenet so far since I posted yesterday) that seems to think that this would be relatively harmless. Other people are equating asking for a jammer schematic to asking for information on manufacturing chemical/biological/nuclear weapons (it probably sounds like I am kidding about this - but I am NOT). Thank you for your rational/calm approach to this! Anything you might do to jam this CBer (like an oscillator to transmit an OC) would also jam the walkie talkies. 1. Change the channel the walkie talkies operate on, or 2. Replace them with walkie talkies using another band. I believe there are walkies talkies that also operate around 49 MHz. At this point I am still looking for LOW POWER jammer schematics. Although someone told me that some are on the way. Thank you for your information though, I appreciate it. |

A lot of amatuer radio operators and RF engineers are telling me that such a device could wreak havoc world-wide even though it would be mere mw in power. According to them 'skywaves' would allow the jammer to reach the entire planet and jam communications world-wide. I certainly don't want to jam world-wide communications, so unless someone has a 'safe' schematic I am out of luck I guess. Thanks again donut! |

Have you concidered the DS1086 Spread Spectrum Econoscillator from
dallas Semiconductors. A programmable Oscillator ( between 260Khz and 130Mhz ) with a selectable 'dither' of either 2% or 4% ) powered from a few AA cells would last a very long time and would sit nicely in the grass by the CBers Aerial and clutter up his comms very effectivly ;-) Very Tongue in cheek...

The only problem with that is that CB is AM. As all pilots know, when
two AM transmitters come on frequency, you end up hearing both (and if one is a bit off frequency, a loud squeal as well). FM has the "capture" effect where you only hear the strongest one (ideally).
