Why do you need to conceal it?

Becuase of laws in Britain, and in the US state of Georgia that make
them illegal. To any Customs or police officer, it will not like a
normal MP3 player that will play any MP3 sound file transferred onto
it. I play MP3 files through the car stereo, if there is a tape deck in
it.


To any police officer, it will look like a normal
MP3 player, and will even play MP3 files transferred onto it. It will
look like a normal MP3 player to any police officer of Customs
official, especially handy in Britain, where tougher laws on radio
transmitters make GPS jammers illegal in the country, and in the US
state of Georgia, where they violate a new law against possessing any
device that can interfere with the "anklets" that some criminals have
to wear.

Jamming radio transmission in the US violates FCC regulations, but you
seem to think laws only apply to other people.

GPS Jammers are not covered by federal law, since the typical GPS
jammer for personal use only has an effective range of 15 to 20 feet,
just enough to keep any
tracking device tracking you from being able to triangulate its
location. Jamming GPS tracking devices do not violate federal laws in
the USA, but it DOES violate a Gerogia state law that outlaws any
device that can interfere with the ankle braclets that many criminals
have to wear. The type of GPS jammers we use only have an effective
range of 15 to 20 feet, so they would not violate any U.S. laws other
than the afforementioned Georgia law.
Jamming the GPS tracking devices in rental cars also keeps you from
being charged exorbitant surchages by the rental company if you happen
to exceed the speed limit, which is somties necessary if the traffic
flow is going above the speed limit. This way, if I have to go above
the speed limit, the GPS tracking unit does not record anything.
