General Radio Discussion / RF Safe-Stop shuts down car engines with radio pulse

« on: December 03, 2013, 1355 UTC »

A British company has demonstrated a prototype device capable of stopping cars and other vehicles using a blast of electromagnetic waves.

The RF Safe-Stop uses radio frequency pulses to "confuse" a vehicle's electronic systems, cutting its engine.

E2V is one of several companies trying to bring such a product to market.

It said it believed the primary use would be as a non-lethal weapon for the military to defend sensitive locations from vehicles refusing to stop.

There has also been police interest.

The BBC was given a demonstration of the device at Throckmorton Airfield, in Worcestershire.

Deputy Chief Constable Andy Holt, of the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), who has evaluated the tech, said the machine had "potential, but it's very early days yet".

General Radio Discussion / Any Interest in a Program Archive?

« on: December 02, 2013, 2225 UTC »

From another thread...

Greetings HFU.. Where can I upload this show for download or streaming?
Qsl's will come later this week. I only received 1 report by email!

I can create an area on the HFU where operators can upload studio quality versions of shows. Is this something folks would be interested in?
