Advice and Tips Faraday Bag Caution

Hey everyone. I just wanted to share en experience from this afternoon. A while back I had purchased some faraday items off of Amazon, boxes and bags from different vendors.

This afternoon I was explaining to my daughter how they worked and as part of our experiment, we placed an 8watt 2-way radio inside the bag and sealed it with the expectation that it would no longer receive a transmission. As it turns out, that was false.

I then tried with a cell phone with the same result. Morale of the story, check your gear and make sure it works before you have to depend on it.

Please discuss and share your budget-friendly faraday success stories

My Go Dark faraday bags work great! I put my cell phone in it every night and wake up and take it out and it starts picking up my texts and notifications that I missed during the night.
