The communications jammer allows a user to jam any comlink signal by interfering with a facility's communications systems or by directly jamming signals in the users's general vicinity. A communications jammer grants a user a +5 equipment bonus when making a Computer Use check to slice into a computer system and shut it down. The user also gets the +5 equipment bonus to maintain that status if any slicers attempt to stop the jamming. Once the user has successfully connected with the communications system and begun jamming, it can continue jamming the system until it disconnects or it is forced out. The signal jammer emits signals at multiple frequencies to interfere with any comlink signals within a half mile radius of the user. The user must make a DC 25 Computer Use check to successfully jam any incoming or outgoing com link signals.
