I would also recommend the Surecom Simplex Repeater.  It works very well and is a lot of fun because it records your transmission and then sends it.  So you get to listen to yourself.  A good training tool also for pausing after pressing the PTT before talking and pausing before releasing the PTT.  All for around $100.00!  

Can confirm this was jamming the input to our local 462.625 repeater. After a fox hunt led to an in-person visit and conversation, followed by multiple escalating phone calls, it finally ceased operation. It was being used as an intercom, to talk through a plexiglass window, at a popular local buffet restaurant for patrons to tell the chef how they would like their steaks prepared.

Jack in the Box intercoms was in my past as a youth experimenting with radios.

So, we've silenced two more of them within one day today. I just came back from a really quick hunt where the homeowner thought it was pretty cool when our motley crew of radio operators came to his door and explained the situation. In this instance we didn't make him silence the intercom for good, but just change the channel. I'll explain why. 

Our first hunt this morning led to the homeowner simply surrendering his intercoms to us for experimentation, for which he was compensated for the intercoms and the time he spent patiently listening to our story. One of the members of our group spent the day going over the devices and learning how they function. He discovered that they are operating normally, however, the are defaulted to channel 1 (467.625) right out of the box. He found that people may try to change the channel, but unless they hold the channel button until it beeps, it will always revert to channel 1. So, we can allow the people to keep using them, but did counsel them about the harm it causes when it's on channel 1. It also really opens their eyes when you produce an HT to them that is clearly listening to the inside of their homes. I think this way compliance is better earned when we dont ask that they stop using their purchase altogether.

The other cool discovery we made is that you can talk through the offending intercom while it is transmitting. We tested the group all call frequency (467.6125 726DPL) and we could be heard over the speaker while it's transmitting. For the next one I set my HT1250 up with the tx as the group channel and the rx as the channel 1 on the intercom. Just in case we encounter issues with users who are less than receptive to our requests. 

Here is a link the the FCC documents attached to the ID on the devices we recovered today

Same here, and why I never was able to work from home these past two years.....DHS CISA letter meant me and my crew came to the office and job sites. We do SCADA, microwave, satcom, and land mobile radio, along with telemetry for flight testing of experimental aircraft.
As for radio, I find FRS/GMRS equipment all over the place that should not be in use, whether voiding company policy or FCC regulation, like that buffet example provided earlier in the thread.
What I tend to find around my house and at work sites are the baby monitors (audio), some video capable units, and then lots of sites that are supposed to use corporate radios, using Midland GMRS handhelds bought at Cabela's (most are camouflage models). The local thrift stores have received many Midland sets, after providing the corporate users with UHF HT-750/1250, EX500, EX600XLS, PR400/CP200, up to XPR7550e replacements. At this point, I am no longer surprised what is being imported that operates in the GMRS frequency band, as so many consumer products come into the country with little to no scrutiny.

Yup. Someones always going to have one set to channel 1. And it's only a matter of time before someone accidentally hits the "MONITOR" button and starts throwing a carrier. I don't like thinking about how many are out there lying in wait for their moment to shine. 

That's something we're trying to avoid. GMRS exploded in our area within the last year or so. So there's pretty much no options for moving as all of the pairs are occupied and, out of respect, we wouldn't want to intrude on other repeater owners. Thank you for making a complaint. Our hope is that if we bombard the FCC enough, we may stem the tide on these.

Here's an example of the situation I found on youtube.

I bought a couple on Amazon and couldn't find the right one. I ended up just getting a different one and cutting all 4 ends and putting on my own connections so I can keep the power cord running where it is if I move the radio temporarily

Get outside. Hang up slim jim off the tree or fence or anything. Repeat the test.
