OK, here's a little primer on radio waves and how they're used.

Just like the signal on your car radio, Remote Controllers use a modulated radio wave to send control signals to the car or plane or quadcopter. They use a fundamental, or carrier, wave to "carry" the modulated information. If you have a generator that is capable of producing a fundamental larger than the controller, it will over power or jam that signal.

It doesn't need a lot of power either. A 1mW 2.4GHz signal will stop most remote controllers. Unfortunately, it will also jam most cordless phones and cell phones as well. So, don't just leave it on.
