Quote:It is easy enough to jam a frequency, simply broadcast a signal on that frequency. If your signal is stronger at the antenna than the signal you are trying to jam, your signal gets through and the other gets swamped.
How much would such a system cost (and are they actually available to consumers)? I mean the kind that will broadcast on that frequency and override the existing signal with a stronger one. Yes, we're willing to listen to white noise instead of that station, we are that sick of it. We'd get sick of any station when it plays for 8 hours 5 days a week for me and 16 hours for my bosses.
How much more would a system that can broadcast our own sound cost? We could eliminate the white noise from jamming by broadcasting music of our own but doing so at no volume.
Even though i can split the cost with my bosses, i fear it might be out of our reach. We're desperate, but not enough to spend $1,000 on the problem. Well i am, but can't afford to spend that kind of money on what can realistically be tolerated (if it doesn't drive me insane) for the next 6 months.
One of the first things we tried was to unplug the speakers themselves, but they are soldered in. Can't install a switch to turn them off either, since a company inspector visits the site once a month checking everything from A to Z. Can't pretend a switch was already there cause the tech knows it wasn't. Even though there mostly likely would be no repercussions if the tech found the switch, it'll just be removed.
*sigh*
I fear there are simply no alternatives but to bear the situation :(
