There was one that worked, the Stealth something-or-other.  Stay away 
from passive devices (what the majority are).  The stealth was an 
active device with an FCC license.  How, you ask?  It wasn't 
registered as a transmitting device, but as a computing device.  
Computing devices are allowed to emit no more than "x" watts over a 
wide frequency range.  The stealth was a computing device that 
happened to emit all it's RF power budget in the vicinity of X and K 
bands.  What a coincidence.  I use past tense here because I think 
they're out of business these days.
