Part of the "hunt and destroy vs. cost to deploy" equation thread about spread spectrum networks was forwarded to me. How about putting several cheap noise generators on the air as decoys? This might tip the cost balance in favor of the network. The Julieboard Direct Digital Synthesizer board, which only needs numbers fed to it from a PC printer port or microcontroller output, can be bought wired and tested for $125. Production in volume should be cheaper. So who is hunting down transmitters and killing them, and risking a confrontation with an armed opponent, for this paltry sum?
