Does the FCC still exist? In this day and age you never know...

I bet some of 'em live in the 2.4 GHz range to use unregulated spectrum.

Commercial drones operate on four frequency bands: 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz, 433MHz and 915MHz.

You probably have something like a 2000 watt 2.4 GHz cavity magnetron transmitter. It's just normally got shielding around it -- your microwave oven.

Dunno if they hit a wide enough spectrum to blot out drones, though.

1. 2.4 GHz ISM Band

Frequency Range: 2.400 – 2.4835 GHz

Usage: This band is widely used for remote control and data transmission, including consumer drones.

The magnetrons in domestic microwave ovens emit microwaves at 2.45 GHz (repeatable, each time the magnetron is switched on, to ±10 MHz) with bandwidths of only a few MHz [6]

So, looks like not, if the frequency range is ~83 MHz wide and the magnetron in use only has bandwidth of a few MHz.

Or hang on to it for when that doesn't matter at all.

Yeah keep it unopened ready for when the shooting starts.
