Steve, the FCC frowns on intentional jamming. Ham bands or not. The Pic's
use the FRS portion fo the 70cm band (462 to 467Mhz set out in FCC regs
[95.401(b)] and yes thats also allocated and regulated by FCC regulations.

No rule against "jamming" them either. :-)
Unless maybe if they are on a HAM band.

The AMA soaring rules specifically state such devices are allowed.
"10.1.f. Thermal Sensor Rule. Thermal sensing devices shall be permitted
provided that any such device and the contestant comply with all FCC
regulations and that any such device does not interfere with the conduct
of the contest. No special arrangement or rearrangement of flight order,
established as noted above, shall be made in consideration of such
devices."
