SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the creation of a small walkie-talkie with a range of 2Km and the construction of a cell phone jammer. While the walkie-talkie project is feasible, the legality of building a cell phone jammer is heavily restricted, particularly under FCC Part 15 regulations in the US. Participants emphasize the importance of adhering to legal guidelines when transmitting on public airwaves and suggest alternatives like low-power FM radio transmitter kits and obtaining a HAM radio license for legal transmission options.
PREREQUISITES
