10 10 Other First Responder Challenges… Spotting a Signal Jamming Device Possible—but not definitive—indications of jammer activity. (Problems unrelated to jammers may also cause these conditions.) inability to transmit or receive on two-way radios outside of known “dead zones”; unusual sounds on designated frequencies, such as unintelligible electronic white noise, intermittent electronic chirping, or unusual tones; technical difficulties that appear and disappear intermittently; lack of audible click when keying a microphone; abrupt loss of communications, especially if stationary; and loss of lock, intermittent disruption, or general failure of a GPS receiver or GPS-enabled device. To report the use or marketing of any signal jammer, call the FCC Jammer Tip Line: 1-855-55-NOJAM (1-855-556-6526)
