Would it be possible to build a gizmo that could be surreptitiously
aimed at the offending stereo system to fry some crucial components?

I assume many high power radar site operators have pet stories to
tell, but I remember one that deserves a retelling:

There was a Merritt Island cop who set up a speed trap on a road perhaps
a mile downroad from a powerful range tracking radar station. The
operators
were not amused with the daily harassment from him and decided to make his
life a little more interesting and theirs a little less hassled. Siting
the
cop's squad car in the telescoping aiming site of the radar dish, one of
the
operators briefly keyed a pulse train and watched. Soon the car left but
returned the next day. Again the operator sited and pulsed the car and
again
it left. After the third day it did not return. I do not know if the
tracking
radar and cop's radar gun were on the same band, however I do know that
1MW of
microwaves was sufficiently nondiscriminatory at the receiving end to
burn out
its front end.

Hi...

I bet it was sufficiently nondiscriminatory at the receiving end to
burn out the cop's front end, too.

Take care.
