my choice would be to throw the jammer into the compactor so that the brain thinks your on his side, meet back up with calvert and tell him that your still on his side. go to the lighthouse with calvert, but be prepared to fight a alot of robots when entering the brains hideout. after you make your way through the brains base. shoot his glass chamber so he dies, and then get the stor key from calvert to get the microwave emmiter. yay!!.

here are the pros and cons from doing it this way:

PROS:

-brain wont attack you on jammer mission

-get the mwave emmitter

-still be on calverts side

Cons:

-you have to kill brain and his robots

Hope this helped!

p.s: if you don't already know, there is another mission in point lookout where you get a very powerfull gun thats kind of like a super improved lever action rifle. It is called the 'backwater rifle'. For more info go here: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Backwater_rifle. ;)

RE:

Fallout 3 point lookout quest, question?

I'm on the quest "thought control". Should I throw the jammer in the garbage compactor, or put it on the Ferris wheel? What are the perks of doing either one? Please tell me everything I need to know for whichever choice.I tried looking it up but I couldn't get a clear answer....

Same problem... if that microwave emitter is the reward for point lookout that's bull... Desmond even says that if u side with him he will give u weapons, army, and make u rich... a microwave emitter. That reward is pitifull compared to the pit, Broken Steal, and especially to Operation Anchorage. Anchorage definately was the funnest and best reward so far. Hope that someone finds the actual reward vault, but so far it seems that dumb microwave emitter is it...
