Dear Frank, 

I was thinking of the oscillators and antenna when I made that Radio Shack
remark. I am curious - tell me more. Did it work as advertised? Did it jam
all three bands? Did it operate continuously? Did it remodulate the return,
or did it just rely on transmitted power to swamp out the return signal?
What did it use as active devices? Was it lumped element on PC board?
Surface mount?

Sorry, I'm getting carried away. But I would be grateful for any further
information.

Thanks, 

Ben
