| | Frequency Hopping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Frequency hopping, which today is used extensively in military communications, means broadcasting a signal (which might carry commands for directing a torpedo) over a seemingly random series of radio frequencies, switching from frequency to frequency at split-second intervals. |
 | | A receiver hopping between frequencies in sync with the transmitter can pick up the message, while any eavesdroppers will only hear random blips. |
 | | An attempt to jam such a signaljamming was and remains a drawback to radio controlwill knock out only bits of it, often leaving enough untouched to do no harm at all. |
