    Well if you jam the signal their equipment will most likely return an error or give a faulty reading. The idea is that you use the jammer to disrupt their measurements until you're down to legal speeds and then turn it off. Cruise by letting them do their reading, give them a wave, a smile and a wink and then nail it around the next corner turning the jammer on again.

    And yeah, there are commercial ones for lasers out there - it should be possible to make one for the doppler radars as well though, just harder.

    Not just harder, the signal strength you'd need would require you to tow a large trailer to carry all the equipment. And as far as I know, there are only 2 laser jammer makes that actually work reliably. The Blinder range is the most well known, with the M45 being the latest version. Steer away from anything made by Rocky Mountain.

    I have just ordered my rx65 Bel, to fit a screamer on my bike. I am so looking forward to it....not total security...but increased peace of mind.

    If you are a policeman, you will be provided with a radar as part of your equipment.
    If you are talking about a detector though...

    Yes, quite legal here along with laser jammers. Radar jammers are a different matter entirely.
    In Oz you will need a Bel STi detector as this is not able to be picked up by your police radars.

    I had an Escort Solo - the first one.

    Worked well till the Fattrick Policy Ossifers changed their radar gear - Bastards :(

    There are a lot of threads on KB about this. Some even contain good advice A search should reveal heaps.

    At the risk of repeating myself, I use an Escort X50 and am very happy with it. I bought it from CartertonRyan on TradeMe for a price that I understand is less than Energy Honda can buy them from their supplier. He is very good to deal with. I 'd like him to decide to sell Zumos...

    All detectors will "NOT" go off sometimes, usually because the cop car hasn't got his radar turned on.

    If the car is using "instant on" you won't get a warning unless you are being naughty... (You do have to be particularly careful when travelling through the Riviera of the South.)

    Camera cars don't give much warning because they only have a weak radar signal.

    Don't be overconfident when you get a detector, avoid relying on it totally, and keep doing whatever it is you do now to avoid getting tickets. Of course the best tactic is to stay below the speed limit like I do

    IIRC InGear is the name and they used to be located at the end of Moorhouse Ave. - towards the overbridge to Blenheim Road, just across from the southern bit of Hagley Park.

    Yep! if you have cash and get to know the market you can pick up a good buy. I got a ESCORT PASSPORT 8500 X50 for $300-00, still in its original box with manuals etc. Pretty much new.

    Goes really well very few false alerts etc. When it goes off its worth slowing down as it doesn't do it all the time like my old Uniden Stalker did! And it has a really good mode where it goes off loud, then automatically turns its volume down for the remainder of the alert. Bloody good radar unit.

    Yeah there sure are some bargins if you study the market first
