Range of spacecraft's comms systems?

[far-trader]

Note high-tech laser/maser 'jammers' are conceivable given a sufficiently advanced TL, but not in the range Traveller normally covers.

Well, one can always saturate the laser receiver with a laser beam that is
stronger than the laser communication signal, just fire at it with a laser
cannon - but I am not sure whether I would call this "jamming". 8)

:lol: Jamming with extreme prejudice. Emphasized communication.

"Sir, I have a tight beam commo incoming, it reads <KABOOOM>... "

In responsxe to the last 2 posts, as I said I'm talking real life, not Trav, and AndrewW's post has clued me in on the Trav take on it.

In regards to real life, this is about all I'm authorized to post on the real subject: http://www.aticourses.com/Optical_Communications_Systems.htm
