Not all are jammers!

 

I'm also a radio amateur 434mhz is right in the middle of the 70cm amateur band.  I run a few amateur repeaters (fully licensed by Ofcom) when they transmit (25w) they knock out all nearby 434Mhz keyfobs..... and by the look of the report Yale alarms!!

 

Not all signals you see are jammers, but the boxes the police are recovering are.

 

25W would be horrific in a built up area for these things. 500mW is already enough!

Its only a matter of time before someone decides to target the Yale systems with the equipment suggested.

 

As for skill, sounds like there are affordable means to look at a viable cost effective burglar solution to disarm the alarm. There are enough Yale systems out there. I am sure they could collect enough valuables in a few minutes with no alarm being raised to make it a burglar consider the option.

 

Would it boost people to consider getting a proper alarm installed?  possibly if someone started targeting the Yale alarm panels.

Cant see it happening for a couple of reason's

1) Most yale alarms are on houses that couldn't afford a proper Grade2X system, that why they have purchased a DIY kit.

2) If you have the equipment needed and the know how, then your probably all ready employed in the IT / electronics field on £30K + so why would you want to target the people in 1. 

Also if the Yale alarms are installed DIY and not covered by a maintenance contract by a Co for the NSI or SSAIB firm, the insurance Co treats the premises as if it hasn't got an alarm (no discounts)

I think this has more to do with advertising something with correct description , although if it received wide publicity Yale would be damaged and probably try to do CG 

 

You need air time then it will get attention otherwise no one gives a monkey

1. It's really not just Yale that have the issue. Anything that isn't 2-way suffers from the issue, including the graded stuff. If you take a look at a number of systems, they aren't 2-way.

2. The jammers are available from China for £50.

They'd be in a pretty weak position, given they OKed me releasing the issues.

I meant the equipment to capture the signal and turn the alarm off.

 

My mistake
