The market for EMP jammer blockers — devices that detect and block signal injection on fish tables and other arcade machines — spans a wide price range. Understanding what you get at each price point helps you avoid wasting money on ineffective $50 units while also avoiding overpaying for features you do not need.
The $50-80 Tier: Basic Detection-Only Units
Devices in this range detect RF activity in a specific frequency band and sound an alarm. They do not block the jamming signal — they only alert you that a signal was detected. This is like having a smoke detector that tells you there is a fire but does not put it out. By the time the alarm sounds, the cheater may have already triggered multiple false payouts. Additionally, the high false alarm rate on these devices — often 15-30 per day — means staff quickly learn to ignore the alerts.
The $99 Premium Tier: Active Blocking + Detection
The Gen2 anti-cheat device at $149-199 provides active signal blocking, not just detection. When it detects a jamming signal in the 300-2400 MHz range, it blocks the signal within 50 milliseconds — before it reaches the machine board. The blocking is what stops the cheating, not the detection. The false alarm rate on the Gen2 device is under 1 per day, which means staff pay attention when an alert occurs.
Why the Price Difference Matters
A $50 detection-only unit costs less upfront but provides no protection against actual cheating. The signal passes through the device’s alarm zone and reaches the machine board before anyone responds to the alert. In the time it takes staff to check the machine, the cheater has already profited from the attack. A $99+ blocking device stops the attack in milliseconds, preventing the loss entirely. The price difference is the difference between knowing you are being cheated and actually stopping it.
If your fish table is showing signs of EMP jamming attacks, send me a message with your machine model and a photo of your setup. I will do a quick remote check for free. Every device comes with a money-back guarantee, official invoice, express shipping, and 1-on-1 technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I add blocking capability to a $50 detection-only device?
A: No. The blocking function requires different hardware — frequency-specific filters and signal cancellation circuitry that cheap devices do not include.
Q: Does the $99 Gen2 device work on all fish table models?
A: Yes. The device covers the 300-2400 MHz frequency range used by the vast majority of jammers targeting fish tables.
Q: How do I know if a $50 device is actually detecting anything?
A: Test it with a known RF source. If the device does not reliably detect signals in the target frequency range, it is not working.
Q: Can I return a $50 device if it does not work?
A: Most cheap devices sold through online marketplaces do not offer return guarantees. The Gen2 device comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
