I'm Convinced- People Don't Even Know What Scrambler Does

Since I'm not yet 45 for trophy, I've put scramber on a bunch of my classes.
For those of you that don't know, scrambler obviously blocks enemies radars within it's proximity, but more importantly, its area also keeps you safe from air support and sentries- essentially blind eye perk in a tactical.
I've literally seen people 10 metres away from me run outside of its range then get eaten by a pave low or cobra. I'm 90% sure it works for allies because I've never seen an ally inside get detected.
I'm actually really surprised; I've used it in dom when I've seen preds incoming, they go for the flag I'm capping, I put up a scrambler and the red box disappears, then they divert because they think I died.
edit: The really annoying thing is I never get progress towards scrambler challenges. In my opinion they should change them so killing killstreaks while in it and killing other people while you're in it count.
the perfect camping tool
No that's the portable radar
both are perfect for campers it just mean when using the scrambler they can camp in more open areas without being killed by airsupport
Or they could just use blind eye...Not like they're going to want extreme conditioning, sleight of hand, recon, or scavenger.
I use Scrambler for my anti-air support classes so I could use that first perk for something like Scavenger or Sleight of Hand instead. Very useful.
Yeah sleight of hand is great if you're trying to down a reaper. Stringer reloads hella fast.
This and the trophy are woefully underused, and maybe that's a good thing. Both make predator missile suck. If everyone used them, predator would be awful because half of the people wouldn't have red boxes and the other half would have a trophy to counter it.
Ok question, if you use the scambler and not assassin, and someone comes in the range of your scrambler while you are right by it and this person has assassin pro so the scrambler wont effect there radar. Also this person just called in a UAV or laid a portable radar right there close to you. Will you still show up on this persons radar if they are in the range of your scrambler?
Good question, not sure. Does assassin definitely negate scrambler. I know assassin pro negates CUAV, but scrambler is different. Scrambler seems to be unblockable unless it's destroyed, and can even work during EMP.
I'd be up to try it if you want. Just let me know. I don't have a mic though.
