Radar Jammers

[Shaun]

Does anyone know if a Blinder M20 X-TREME will work on a Bike?

[Dafe]

Yes, it would.

A jammer is simply a receiver with a responsive transmitter.
It will work regardless of your vehicle type.

Your only issue to deal with is getting a good mounting point that will not block your transmitter.

The only question I'd be querying is the current draw required as most transmitters usually require a fair amount of power. You'll probably need to fuse it on its own fuse.

Have a look here too. http://www.radarbusters.com/support/...er-install.asp

All specialsed radar parts are available in NZ through a company called "Radar Direct".

The M20 is a "laser Jammer" not radar... and I have seen them on a couple of bikes down here, the M20 works well.
However... it is aparently illegal to "use" one as it interfears with piglet doing there job, you can buy one you can own one you can even have it on the bike switched on, but at the point were it does what its intended is a no no.

But it has to be proved that it interfered with police work and if its done the job then theres no proof that it did.
I'd have one if I had the coin, not that there s a lot of lasetrs down here.
Try mounting under the feiring below the head lignt as thats what Mr piggy will be aiming at.
IIRC it works by absorbing the light beam stoping it being reflected back, giving a 0kph reading

The second your Jammer is turned on, It is illegal.

Because you are not a registered user of that frequency, you need to be registered with the Department of Economic Developments Radio Spectrum division as a registered user for that frequency. Otherwise, you're transmitting illegally.

However, The Police proving you used it is difficult. When detecting a cop, use it to get back to legal speed limits and then switch it off immediately.

Here's the Blinder laser jammer test: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...t=33984&page=2. It's one of two that actually works. I'm pretty sure that CartertonRyan can supply you one through Trade Me. I'm not sure that it is actually illegal under any broadcasting laws as it's not radio frequency, but what about perverting the course of justice or somesuch. It's irrelevant anyway, not the sort of thing that's exactly obvious on your bike eh?

Cheers

Thanks for replies, I was a bit concerned about the legallity of it, as well as the fitting instructions say to place recevers 500-600 mm apart, hence my main question

Has anyone got one or no of someone using it on a bike, as it is impossible to fit as per the instructions

[Kflasher]

Has anyone used and or tested the "Rocky Mountain Radar Detector & Laser Scrambler DLS315", they are all over the 'Trade-Me' site.
I have never owned one... I feel it may be time.
I have found info regarding overseas test, but does this relate to NZ.

Rocky Mountain products have a terrible reputation in independent tests if you do a decent net search, but have no direct experience. Best to be avoided methinks.

Have a look at this, it might be of some help: http://www.radarbusters.com/support/...er-install.asp - 16k -

P.S You are to be admired for considering the legality of the jammers, but what about the legality of the speeds that makes you want to fit it in the first place, haha

Cheers, hence the price i spose.

Yup what a few others have already said, only radio frequencies are licenced in NZ, so visible and nonvisible light are ok to transmit, it is an offence to interfere with law enforcement equipment and thats what they would get you on if they could prove it, but as to the legality of speed, overtake a car on the open road and have a glance at your speed, its only momentary but a lot of you criminals would be walking home or catching a ride. they would save you from those embarising moments

Hardehaha, I was actually making sure a customer of mine is not going to land in a pile of PO for having it fitted

Tui Ad!

BTW, from my understanding the coppers either aim for your headlight or your visor. That means the best place to put the receiver would be half way between. The xmitter should go as high a possible for maximum effect. Maybe on the top of your chopper flag?

Cars are easier as the plod generally aims at the number plate, and you have plenty or real estate to mount bits onto.

No they transmit a signal backto the cop to confuse his equipment

Umm no one sells radar jammers here, we is talking about light which no one controls

PM has been sent.

Why not give us all the info, or will that stop the revenue gathering!

Hi, I have one on my bike. I spoke to my policeman freind and he assures me having it is not illegal, but operating it dilleberatly if proven is perverting the cause of justice. The key with it is that you use it until you find the trap, slow down to appropriate speed then switch off on your consul. This allows them to attain a reading which is what they are after. If you leave it switched on then of coarse your breaking the law as you are preventing them getting a reading. Provided they get a reading you are within the perameters of the law. In regard to the 600mm apart, for a car install the censors need to be 600mm apart on each side of the vehicle, which means you would need 2 sets for a CAR to cover front and back. On a bike they need to be mounted centre front and centre rear, one censor only each end. This is to allow for total cover of your vehicle/bike. They also need to be 100% level to work properly, and might I recomend discretely located to avoid interegation as police don't all share common views and certainly have differing attitudes. I have a freind here who does them alot for top end euro cars as well as full gps nav systems. He is alot cheaper than shops and fits them as well. Email me if you want his details.
