Accurate for frequency modulated (FM) VHF receivers only.

Currently works only for jammer location-to-target receiver distances greater than the enemy transmitter-to-target receiver distance.

Jammer location must have a reasonable line-of-sight propagation path to the target receiver's location with no high hills between the two locations.

ERP  Effective Radiated Power.  Actual power output after taking into account feedline losses and antenna gains.

AMSL  Above Mean Sea Level.  Height referenced above sea level, or zero elevation.
