When I was in the AF, our ECM class played with the idea of converting some
surplus jamming equipment for automotive use. It is do-able, it is ILLEGAL,
and it might be fun.

Why just 55? Our concept was to feed enough noise toward the gun as to
render it completely useless. Or we thought we could have fun by sweeping
a noise signal (very rapidly) across his bandwidth. Either way, the speedgun
would require minor :-) adjustments afterward.
