Re: It's a shame the government is ruining this wonderful idea

said by gunther_01:

When a signal is too "hot" it doesn't matter what kind of filters you use. Unless of course you want all of these hand held GPS devices to be the size of a damn cinder block in your hand. You are talking about the difference in perceived signal perception of a GPS device from the satelitte at a whisper, while an adjacent LS tower sounding like you just walked in to a rock concert.

Reminds me of WiFi vs. Microwave Oven. The GPS signal is the WiFi while LS network is the Microwave.

Let's see.. 100mW (WiFi) vs. 900+W (LS). Guess which signal becomes useless. Doesn't take an engineering genius to figure that one out.
