COMELEC Prepares Against Signal Jammers
Wednesday, February 3, 2010

for the IT PINOYs, a signal jammer is a small, low-powered transmitter that interferes with receivers in an area around the jammer. the radius of the area will depend on the power of the jammer. the jammer signal will be "seen" by the receiver and it won't then be able to "see" the little signal of the remotely located transmitter that it is trying to "look at" before you turn on your jammer.
