Hope you won't mind my bumping you to an anonymous short story for Security-Minded sorts.
Ha!

This 'suitcase' sized deal, or the 'truck' (so-called "RF-arc zappers") are WAY TOO easy to build!!

Have any of you guys ever seen your local hams on a transmitter hunt on either 2M (146 MHz) or 70 cm (450 MHz)? A lot of them use a 5 or six element beam on top of the car to the the RDF (radio direction finding) - rotate the beam and look for strongest signal on the radio and bingo - drive in that direction!

TRANSMIT into that same antenna with a 45 Watt radio and the output of that 10 dB gain Yagi antenna becomes 450 Watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power)!

Need greater range? 200 to 300 Watt amplifiers are available for the 2M radios - into a 10 dB gain yagi and ERP s on the order of 3,000 watts can be had (of the Yagi will 300 watts of input power)!

This should be more then enough to affect most consumer/commercial electronic equipment - as well as any exposives using electrical blasting caps.

ALL this gear (excluding the Yagi antenna) are available from Radio Shack ... think about that the next time you see the local 'ham' club DFing for 'a rabbit' - it might be the local bilderberger operatives 'sweeping' *your* neighborhood for explosives instead!

Damnit _Jim ...

Must you, of all posters, show up to lend credence to the pure conjecture of a Good Night Story?

(You like this one, don't you?)

If they're Radio Shack easy to assemble, why aren't folks encouraged to protect themselves with personal Zappers -- as common as cell phones or pepper spray -- instead of letting Security Services handle it for us?

Far cheaper to buy an old Micor or Mastr on ebay for $25, no? :)
