Re: Failsafe?

The more crude type of jammer, as available from your Chinese tat bazaar of choice, jams by just swamping a nearby receiver's front end with noise. Crude but usually effective.

This just makes the receiver adjust its sensitivity downwards until the desired carrier signal can't be locked on to any more. And no carrier lock is a condition that can easily be detected.
