ECCM All broadcast communications equipment is subject to interference and jamming, known as electronic countermeasures (ECM). ECM is countered by electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM), such as noise-filtering and signal amplification. Unless otherwise noted, each communications unit is assumed to have an ECCM Rating of 1. If the purchaser wishes to acquire the equipment at Rating 0 (which means that it has no ECM/ECCM and therefore automatically loses to opposing equipment), multiply the base cost by .75. Characters can also purchase equipment with higher ECCM Ratings. Each additional ECCM Rating point costs 1,000¥, adds 1 to the item’s Availability and increases the Street Index by .5. ECCM modifies a unit’s Flux Rating by half its ECCM Rating. See Electronic Countermeasures (p. 138) for rules on using ECM and ECCM.
