Does this mean you could drive around with a (illegal, but not difficult to build or obtainl) 20W wide band VHF/UHF jammer radio fed into a 1 meter parabolic dish, aim it at random buildings and set off peoples' halon systems? Wow. On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 1:46 PM, <bzs () theworld com> wrote:
About the worst that ever happened to me was a security guy's walkie-talkie setting off an instant Halon drop. Cost about $10,000 to refill and was fairly exciting for those present. That also cut the machine room's power. At least it didn't set off the sprinkler system. We sat down with the Halon system vendor to find out why that happened after proving, on a by-passed system, that yes indeed one of these common walkie-talkies sets the thing off.
