I have a general question. If I plan on purchasing a monix mgb-1 jammer
(http://www.monix.com.tw/mgb1.htm)
that is AC only, how would I go about attaching the thing to a 12v
battery; Understandably, I don't like the prospect of being tied down by
the power adapter, but I am not sure what battery to get or even how to
connect the battery to the device. I pray I am not looking for some
kind of car battery as that would defeat the purpose of portablility. So
far the Power Pack with 400 Watt Inverter & 18 Amp Hour Battery
(http://www.dcacpowerinverters.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?
preadd=action&key=W5251) is the closest thing I've seen. Isn't there some
way I can hook it up to a battery pack or something via inverter?
The output power of the a/c adaptor for the monix is 12v, 1.25 amps.

VERY gratefully,

I think it is likely you might run the thing on a pack of 10
batteries, if you don't want to run it indefinitely . . . Nickel
Hydride rechargeable batteries would be better. They don't give the
current drain but it is probably under an amp for one watt out. There
are a few rechargeable AA size cells that can supply that for a short
time.

I like the idea. Particularly when I see someone with one glued to
their ear and having problems keeping the car in just one lane.

It would be a fun toy in a restaurant or shopping mall.

It may be illegal to use it, but I don't think I'd sweat it unless you
plan to stay in a fixed location. The cell towers can be used to
triangulate the signals but that only gets them within 200 meters or
so. They (cell operator, FCC et al) would need some response time
before they could pin you down.

As far as I know, the practice of jamming cell phones hasn't become so
prevalent that there is any response mechanism for catching
"offenders." I don't know that I'd try it on Capital hill . . .

There is/was a schematic on the web for building one from a junked
cell phone.

How reliable is Monix? I keep trying to download the catalog and get
corrupted file messages. What does the jammer cost?
