Rest In Peace
Bel RX 65 was good till some arse wipe flogged it last guy fawks night,grabbed the RX55 and is as good,these are all in the car though.
Cobra cheapo is reasonable,but our old whistler still goes well.Both not as good as the bel,but not the same price either.

What boob said,in that order.
Got an sti,and it's saved my arse several times now.
In an independent test i found,they rated the Bel' STI 1st,in radar detection,And the Valentine V1 next,But they reckon Escort 8500 is VERY similar to the STI.
You're probably already aware,but i'll tell you anyway,that as good as a radar detector is,you're not bulletproof against getting caught by cops.
They don't have their radar guns on all the time.They turn them on and off.
If there's traffic in front of you,you'll have a better chance at picking them up with a fair bit of warning,as they use the radar on them.But if you're on a lonely highway,you might find that you are the first vehicle they zone in on,and that can be too late.
Also,some radar detectors are not good at picking up laser,but all in all,you're still WAY better off with one.

So you can jam lasers but not radars?
what is the break down on what cops use? mostly lasers??
Hardcore Biker
Lasers can only be used stationary, so the cars all have radar.

I don't know the exact figures - but there will be at least 10 radars to every laser, 100 radars to every laser is more likely. I've seen a laser gun being used less than 5 times - couldn't begin to put a number on the times I've passed a police car with an active radar.

Cheers,
Think ill just play around with my Rocky mt I was givn, dont expect much from it by the sounds but dont have 1/2 a grand to spend. yet, Ill have to do some more paper runs!!
I thought I thought that
I tried to buy the one on Trademe - out of stock! He's offered me a 9940 for an extra $25 - anyone know if it's a good model
Lifes Just one big ride - buckle up or hang on
Hardcore Biker
Dunno but make sure it has an external speaker socket
I thought I thought that
yep - he said it had all the same features and more than the 9440
He said it's the model he uses, and he rides a CBR250 - so he can't be a bad bloke
Enigma
yep MD, did a test this morn on a camera van at Plimmerton, parked next to him and proceeded to switch on K band. (took a matter of seconds on the
V1!!) Its going to be a pain in the city but hey you never know where they pop up.

If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

and trademe.
If you can get them cheaper, please advise

No, they dont work. Look out for pukekos
Double shot!!
Er, almost. To be precise ;
/pedant Laser guns use an optical laser operating in the micrometer (light) part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It's not radio waves, or microwave radiation. I would be very surprised if LIDAR jammers actually measured the incoming energies' frequency and took active steps against it. I think you will find they simply broadcast a bright modulated light "blinder" on or about the same light wavelength, effectively burying the microscopic laser reflection in a sea of fog.
Correct, but they can be jammed once you know the transmitting frequency, thusly ;
The stalkers' digital displays can only indicate two speeds - the primary target speed, and the maximum speed. These two "speeds" are two doppler reflections (radio frequency signals), so we need to simulate these, or at least mask the one the radar unit should be displaying. The easy way seems to be to (over)modulate a microwave source with a square wave signal of about 1KHz. This should fill the bandspace with multiple targets spaced 1KHz apart, making far more targets than the operator is capable of legally* resolving. Note that it will not conceal your high speed (the stalker will quite likely still pick you out as the highest speed target) but his audio will so absurdly cluttered that either the operator or the stalker will be well into "WTF" mode. I do not think the operator will trust his machine with this much crap coming out of the speaker.
*The judge will raise an eyebrow at the officers' description of the horribly cluttered tone. While the instrument might be content, the judge will not. In case the officer bare-faced lies to the judge and says he had "clean tone" on you, all you do is ask how that could be, since you were jamming him with a wideband squarewave signal, and indicate to the judge that his summary description of the observed tone is infeasible considering the conditions, and watch him suddenly "remember".
Fun fun fun!
edit: disclaimer: I don't advocate speeding everywhere. It's dangerous. Your family (especially your mum and your lovely daughter) will cry when you are dead. Don't do it.
