    Features a <b>passive jammer</b> technique that engages the microphone thereby

    blocking other apps from using it. But does NOT listen to or record any of the

    audio from the microphone. It uses 0% CPU and no noticeable battery use. However

    is not intended to be left on permanently due to the variety of triggers that

    can cause audio_focus_state changes (VOIP etc).

    Also features an <b>active jammer</b> that emits tones constrained to the NUHF

    range of 18 kHz to 24 kHz range. User determined carrier frequency and drift

    limits with rate for random tone emissions depending on the device capabilities.

    For instance 20000 Hz carrier, drift limit 1000 Hz and rate slow - will output

    random frequency between 19 kHz and 21 kHz approximately every second.

    Audible artifacts are present during the NUHF tones but this may be changed in a

    future release. Experimental white noise output may not be very effective at

    blocking and is a somewhat annoying sound. The device speaker output may not

    have enough amplitude to block unwanted NUHF signals - testing will determine.

    * Manual start

    * Notification post when running

    * Auto stop and restart when telephony interrupts

    * Currently relies on audio_focus_state changes for auto-switching
