Gold Commodore SS wagon with mags and body kit. Probably works SH1 for all it's got. :angry2:

Rumour has it that a good cage radar is Valentine One. Anybody heard anything about that baby?

[Blackbird]

I'm quite often in that area. Blue metallic Falcon also, based out of Tokoroa at present.

Valentine One is the best.

2004/2005 Silver Commodore, very nice looking cage, follows L plate motorcyclists untill they make a mistake

Rumour has it that a good cage radar is Valentine One. Anybody heard anything about that baby?I just scored one from work (stolen/recovery, I work for an insurance company), and the one time it's been used it seemed to work fairly well (I don't bother round town - I don't speed much and you get too much interference no matter how good your detector is) Gets good write ups everywhere.

Friend of mine uses a Valentine and swears by it. It saved him a wedge just the other day. He was passing a guy and the passee decided to speed up. Henry is always on for a race but he got a beep on the detector so he backed off. Four Ks along the road he came around a bend, the detector went off big time... and the cop was waving the other guy over.

A google search should lead to some informative reviews. The last ones I read were saying that some of the other manufacturers were catching Valentine but that would imply they are still at or about number one.

Rocky Mountian is the best .These are Legal jammer's Pick up everything .
Camera's / Lazer's / Microwave / all bands & tell's you which one is been used

Turn off X and K bands = no more falses.

Rocky Mountain has been found by every reputable test to be crap.

yep had a V1, and it is the best.... only reason not using it anymore is that it broke :(

[ajturbo]

valentine 1.8 is what i have.... picks up cops behind BIG trucks, around bends, fucken miles down the road....speed cameras(in vans)...BUT NOTHING will give you enough time if the tax gathers turn it on 100mts from you:angry2:

I run a Valentine one + the H.A.R.D system.
Lou's right if its been setup right ( done for you if purchased thru radar direct ),
no false alarms ( even around town ) you just leave it on full detection and break like hell if it goes off.

Before Hitcher gets in; I think you mean "brake like hell" :msn-wink:

[Krusti]

Or a Passport Escort 8500 X50 most tests rate them pretty close. Escort is a lot cheaper $479 on Trade Me.

Been very happy with mine.

Next to get is a Blinder Laser scrambler...

It is owner programmable too. PM me for details.

RMR stuff is a con. Never has worked, never will. It ignores the basic physics involved in radar. Get a Valentine or Escort 8500

escort X50 does me just fine. plus plenty of MK1 eyeball...

Neither do I since I racked up 70. I think you need to sell that baby to me!

Now that's interesting. I came across a guy over Christmas that had one. He rode a Hyabusa. Swore by it. But are they legal? There was a thread not so long ago on this and some here were saying that jammers are illegal. So whats the buzz on this?

I should point out that I use it in the car only, not on the bike. I figure careful use of eyeballs followed by either severe use of right fingers or right wrist (depending on circumstances) will usually eliminate most tickets on the bike.

Turn off X and K bands = no more falses.It came minus instructions (unfortunately the thieving 17yo scumbag took only the unit plus power cord). I think X is already turned off. Can I turn off K, or does it need to see a dealer?

Oh no. Not Rocky Mountain again............
I've got a Rocky Mountain piece of crap Radar Jammer (Not with built in detector) sitting around here somewhere and some sucker can have it for $20 plus postage............
Nothing wrong with it - except the claims Rocky Mountain make are bullshit.

But are they legal? There was a thread not so long ago on this and some here were saying that jammers are illegal. So whats the buzz on this?As I understand it anything that receives is legal, but anything that transmits is illegal. Difficulty is that the receivers don't jam, so in order to successfully jam you must have a device that transmits. Therefore yes, a useful jammer must be illegal.

That's not to say that products haven't changed in the last few years, was at least 2000/2001 when I last looking into this type of thing.

Go into www.valentine1.com. Details are in there.

[Lou Girardin]

Most superhetrodyne detectors transmit a signal (leakage), it's the strength of that signal that defines their legality. Which is why Rocky mountain jammers are crap. There is no such thing as a passive speed radar jammer.
It's as far fetched as Pixie's cop saying that the signal is held in the Hawk antenna.
