Attached is a photo of an electronic device with four 3 inch antennas. It is of very good metal construction. Can anyone tell me what it is? The only markings on the exterior is a small white sticker with W/G on the back. There are four DP switches on the side and four green LED's numbered 1 2 3 4. Any help would be appreciated. It also has a very good quality belt holster.
Can Anyone ID this Device ??

Bunch of folks in Philadelphia started complaining about their calls being dropped on a certain bus route. Come to find out, a person was "sick and tired of listening to everyone's cell phone calls", had one of them. News media covered it. Don't know if the FCC got involved.

I believe there was a thread here about the Philly bus rider/jammer. Do a search on it if you're interested.

Score 1 for the "bad guy."
Around here, it gets very annoying to have to listen to someone talk on a cell phone constantly. If it's done quietly, like two people sitting together talking it's not so bad. But many people think they need to talk loud. I want to carry on my own conversation with the person I'm with, not listen to someone else's.
I was called in for jury duty a couple of years ago. When the panels gathered, the baliff told everyone to turn their phone off. If they hear it ring, it will be taken away. When we were taken to the courtroom, the baliff said the same thing. Well guess what? During juror selection someone's phone rang. Unfortunately they didn't find out whose it was. Now, because of these people who won't listen, you cannot even bring a phone into the courthouse at all.
I was in a local BK one day for lunch, and a guy was not only talking loud, but had to keep pacing around and around while on the phone.
It's about people trying to call attention to themselves so they look important. First it was just cell phones, then the wireless earpieces, then the walkie-talkie type phones with their lousy digitized audio.
Then there's the constant ringing. As soon as one call is finished, it has to ring again. I know these people wouldn not want to believe it, but if you leave your phone in your car while you're having lunch, the world will NOT come to an end!

That my friend is a cell phone jammer. Where in the world did you acquire that bad boy?
There are several types of venues where these things need to be permanently installed!!! 
Don't admit to owning it. It is illegal to operate, not sure about possession.
FCC weighs in on cellphone jammers: They're illegal and dangerous, yet our own government uses them go figure..

Da gubmint uses a lot of illegal and dangerous things so what's to figure?

I manage a police department property and evidence division. The jammer was found abandoned on a district school bus and turned in to the PD. It is destined for destruction and I never experimented with it, but it was tempting.

Nice thing to have if you need to disable IED firing circuits on your route of travel in Afghanistan, but definitely not legal inside the US.
My brother recently purchased one and we tested it out for effective range. I was sitting in my sedan while connected to cell number and the jammer did not disrupt the call until his unit was about 20 feet from my car. Either of us were not impressed at its almost useless range. The jammer was the one pictured in the OP. Can't remember where he bought it but it cost around $125 - no way worth the end results due to its very low power output. Perhaps with a higher gain antenna (one for each band - yikes!) the device could be more useful.
There are very high power cellphone jammers available, but they're pricy. The disadvantage is, the noise they produce can be DF'd with no problem. I know... I've DF'd several of them because they disrupt public safety communications as well as cellphones.
If and then the FCC hears about these things, they come down swift and hard. If they bother the wrong people, they're quite easy to locate.
