But they're so easy to jam if you're prepared for it. Set
up a simple emitter (grenade sized) to listen for
ultrasonic noise, which if it hears it duplicates on a
continuous broadcast.

And, if you're using any active sonar (ultrasonic or
otherwise) and someone is listening for it, you just became
a target.
