There are a variety of users in that general band, but I think police radar is the only authorized user of the specific set of frequencies used. Mind you, the receiver on the radar's input probably isn't that selective, and could probably be jammed by a frequency outside the police allocation. However, interfering with a police officer in the performance of his duties is a *serious* crime, the sort that results in jail and a criminal record rather than just a traffic ticket and more expensive insurance. Don't expect the police to have a sense of humor about deliberate jamming; they will throw the book at you. At the very least, you'd better have a lawyer picked out before trying it. -- "Read the OSI protocol specifications? | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology I can't even *lift* them!" | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
