GSM-R downlink operates in the 921- 925MHz band. The GSM downlink band is
935-960MHz.

As Dealextreme sell Chinese-manufactured products, there's a reasonable
chance that they transmit energy in the GSM-R band which would be extremely
undesirable.

Am I alone in not being particularly bothered by this issue?
I am very discrete myself about (eg) taking a call in a restaurant when
there are others near me, I will go out into a corridor etc, and I understand
the capabilities of the microphone in the handset ie. shouting doesn't really help!
but while I am slightly bemused by people who aren't so considerate, it's not
a big deal to me.

I believe the Home Office were considering using jammers within top security prisons,
I wonder if they do? I am near Strangways, I must remember to see what reception is like
next time I pass the perimeter wall.

If they can't be eliminated from prisons, then stopping them getting into
schools seems very unlikely to happen.

I think we all know that's pretty unlikely.
