Re: white noise sound jammer
From what I can quickly see on the web they are illegal to use in the Uk and Europe.

Ofcom, the communications regulator, says there is no room for doubt. Jammers are illegal under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949, which outlaws "any device that interferes with the radio signals of another device".

they don't interfere with the radio waves though, do they? - I thought white noise jammers just put out white noise, not actually jamming radio waves?

Re: white noise sound jammer
Do you mean clock radios that give off white noise to help you sleep in a noisy environment?
For more information on radio jammers, this Israeli website looks interesting! http://www.sesp.com/

Wouldn't that make those 2 Way radios illegal since you can effectively JAM the signal by leaving one on Transmit constantly.

Re: white noise sound jammer
I've only had a quick google so can't add much else. You have a point though.
