A RF spectrum analyzer can find the source in seconds. From there it can be jammed. The better receiver units auto frequency shift (change channels), so the spectrum analyzer will have to be active and scanning the entire debate, ready to jam the next frequency.

This is called electronic countermeasures.

Tuesday night would be a perfect time for an Ashlee Simpson or Milli Vanilli moment.

And, after detecting, it would also be possible to broadcast someone's voice on that frequency instead of jamming. The gear must exist - if not, it would be a fun development project.

I'd love to hear Biden say "Epstein didn't kill himself" or "Make America Great Again" during the debates.

At an event like this in this day and age, any idea how many different devices will be operating in that environment on similar frequencies? I know there are a lot of different frequency ranges for different functions, but all the production teams will be wireless, as will all the lighting controls and sound system controls. Not my field, but I know enough to know it aint that simple.

“electronic countermeasures”

He’s POTUS and must be protected from threats using radio, no.

PDJT should also display in, behind and over both his ears to the camera, and have a mirror to show his podium top with only notepad & pen, no tablet.

Spread Spectrum: The spreading sequence (in Direct Sequence systems) or the frequency-hopping pattern (in FH systems) is unknown by anyone for whom the signal is unintended, in which case it obscures the signal and makes eavesdropping extremely difficult. Don’t believe me? Take your spectrum analyzer and tell me what is being said over someone’s bluetooth headset.

Much easier to just jam it all. Elevating the noise floor will destroy the ability of the receivers to find an unoccupied channel and destroys enough bits that error correction algorithms fail. It’s simply a power game - emit enough power to exceed the burn-through range of the target and they cannot communicate. Fortunately the best jammers are owned by the federal government.

Maybe not jam it. Record it and promptly release it merged with Joe.
