Many "scanners" now go to that frequency e.g AOR AR-8600. (100kHz to 2GHz ) They are hardly state-of-the-art receivers but should be capable of detecting jammers driving past. However a new unit is quite pricey $1000 equivalent in the UK as little as $300 for a used version. Also the AMSAT FCD Pro+ USB SDR at $200 and free software.

Hi

Anything that will receive up there should be able to tell you when a jammer comes by. The issue is that not a lot of gear is made for that band (other than GPS receivers). The easy approach would be to use a modern GPS module that puts out noise level / jamming information.

The recent discussion of solar flares screwing up GPS timing was interesting.

I just watched Todd Humphreys TED talk again. He's focused on location, but
does mention time in terms of stock exchanges.
 Todd Humphreys: How to fool a GPS
 http://www.ted.com/talks/todd_humphreys_how_to_fool_a_gps.html

He's got a good discussion of GPS jammers and spoofers, but no geeky details.


What's the spectral/power output of the typical eBay GPS jammer?

Suppose I lived near a major highway. Could I build a receiver that would
count jammers driving by?  Could I track them (at least somewhat) with a
directional antenna on a rotator?

Is this something semi-geeky amateurs could contribute to?

What sort of gear has harmonics in the GPS band?

I assume people are familiar with the trucker who jammed the FAA test in NJ.
Here is a good story:

That article has a link to commercial gear targeted at this market.
