Laser Elite Laser Jammer Tester





The Laser Elite Laser Jammer Tester produces the same exact pulse rates as real police LIDAR guns. Select a gun in the memory bank and push the fire button. The tester will fire the pulse rate you selected for as long as you like.

Why is the Laser Elite Laser Jammer Tester critical to your laser jammers operation? Well, unless you have a $3,000 LIDAR gun or are shot by an officer you simply won't know if your jammer actually detects all the laser guns used today. If your jammer doesn't work you're getting a ticket. It's far cheaper to make sure your transponders work before you hit the road than paying for a ticket. It's a no brainer.

The Laser Elite pulse replicator will simulate the TruSpeed USA and TruSpeed TS2 EU version along with 15 other LIDAR guns.

If you don't test your laser jammer you really don't know if it's defective or not. The Laser Elite Testers retails for $124.99, but for the month of May save over 50% off.

Returns: All units are tested before final shipment to you. In the rare event you receive a defective unit we'll gladly replace it for you, otherwise returns are not accepted.

WARNING: This laser tester produces the same Infrared light a real lidar gun produces. Never look at the IR LED in front of the unit.

Blinder M47 Laser Jammer

BLINDER'S infrared pulses are arguably the strongest available anywhere for non-military product technology. You get a laser jamming shield in front of the car that prevents all possibilities to measure the car's speed.

When the ignition is turned on, the upstart self-test function (STF) will tell you that the BLINDER is ready.

BLINDER is on stand-by until a police laser gun or one of the automatic photo laser speed traps hits the car. Now the X-TREME starts to do its job.

The Laser Warning System (LWS) tells the driver that a laser gun is operating nearby. The driver must slow down.

The infrared Detectors transmit the incoming laser pulse frequency to the built-in computer. The optimal jamming pulse is now selected.

Because the jamming pulse is transmitted only when the laser gun is active, it has become possible to apply an extremely powerful return-jamming pulse signal.

The police laser gun or photo trap cannot measure the speed, and the driver can continue without a speeding ticket.

WHISTLER 3600 REMOTE MOUNT RADAR DETECTOR

I was recently able to test drive the Whistler 3600 Remote Mount Radar Detector. I found it to very pleasing on the eyes inside and out. There where several pros and cons to the unit that I would like to touch on.

Pros
* PRICE
* Easy Install...By this I mean it took me less then an hour to install the whole unit in my car. This included the Radar Antenna, GPS Module, Remote Speaker, Display, and the Control Unit.
* The display was easy to read in most light conditions in my opinion.
* The different features are more then any radar detector user could ever want.
1)Selectable Bans
2)Outside Temperature
3)Clock
4)Directional Voice Alerts
5)Horizontal and Vertical mounting option for the display.
6)KA Max Mode with Voice Announcement of the Radar Bands not just number display.
7)LSID-This feature shows you the Pulse Rate of a Laser Gun being used against you.
8)Ability to lock out false Laser signals.
9)GPS for Red-Light Cameras
There are many more feature that I did not use so can comment on them but these are a few I enjoyed.

Cons
* Voice is very low. I had mounted near my head but found it hard to hear with window down or radio on.
* Mounting Low is not an option as it dramatically cuts down on reception of radar signal.
* GPS Red-Light Camera Alerts are received when on a parallel road or a interstate passing over a road with a camera.

Overall it is a GREAT detector for someone who wants a remote mount with GPS and wants to go light on the wallet. The detection is on par with the Pro series detectors in my opinion.

I will list the full specs below and pictures.

Escort 9500ix Review

There has always been a balance of trade off between sensitivity and the rate of falses one is willing to deal with. Some users prefer the longest possible warning, which comes with the burden of the falses that some users are just willing to live with. Others prefer a little less range, with the benefit of less falsing, and a quieter ride.

We define falses as anything that will set off a radar detector, which is not actually police radar.

I had to give my wife a radar detector to keep our insurance policy at an affordable rate. However every time I got in the car she was completly obliovious to the detector going off. Not that she couldnt hear it, but she was so used to it going off all the time she just simply learned to tune it out. She is a prime example of why a long range detector with little falsing is important.

Detector manufacturers do have a way to cut down on falses, almost every radar detector has a feature of some sort that cuts down on calses. Almost all come with a feature called 'City' mode (or something relative to that name). But what does this mode really do? Reduces sensitivity and range. Plain and simple

What sets apart the Escort 9500i is in addition to its extremely supurb radar sensitivity along with the USB port for user firmware updated, it is equipped with a unique built in GPS to locate and eliminate falses all together. This means that the 9500i has the ability of keeping that long detection range without using the 'City' modes which reduce sensitivity (If you are a Beltronics fan, they have an identical detector called the Bel GX65).

But all this comes with a price. With the addition of the GPS into the 9500i, the detector becomes one of the most expensive dash mounted detectors on the market. However, price is not the only thing that you sacrifice with this unit, but we will get to that in a minute.

The GPS functionality of this detector is controlled by the user. (where as the newer 9500ix can lock out locations on its own) The user is to drive to a known false, and manually "mark" the location as a false. From that point on, instead of an alert, the user will receive a spinning satallite icon on the display letting the user know that it is detecting a signal, but supressing the alert. You will be able to unmark the location the same way you marked it. This time you will just have to wait for the spinning satellite.

You also have the ability to mark speed cameras, speed traps, and any other location that you would want the detector to warn you about. The 9500i will take the geographical locations of the location, and store it in its database so it will not alert you to this frequency in the future.

Needless to say, that with the incorporation of a GPS into a detector, gives in plenty of flexibility. For example, the detector is able to give you a readout of your speed on the display during an alert (handy to know what the cop tagged/is tagging you at), or when the detector is not alerting.

The 9500i also has the ability to automatically reduce its sensitivity based upon your current speed. This is basically switching between a much wider ranges of 'City' modes for you automatically. Its safe to say, driving through a parking lot at 10mph you do not need the detector alerting. It is also safe to say if you are driving above 55mph on the highway, that you want the sensitivity of the detector to its full potential.

With driving about 1000 miles with this unit in my personal vehicle, I can honestly say that I have never been in love with a detector as much as this. After locking out all the falses in the area, this gives you the ability to always respond to REAL threats and not falses. The range is comparable to the Escort 8500 x50 red or 8500 x50 blue (same detector, just different color displays)

However, it seems with every detector now a days there is always some sort of downturn. In this case, the GPS 'True Lock' feature can only do so much, but in the real world there is a slight chance that marking a location, may in fact block out a legit police radar signal in that area if it is within ~15mhz of the police band. I have not had this happen to me personally, but scouring the internet there are a few cases of this reported. Though, my memorable experience with the 'True Lock' is nothing but bliss. I marked a location on main stretch of road by a mall, later that week- I got an alert on the same band I locked out, and sure enough it steadily ramped up to a full blown alert. LEO on a side road, constant on K. Probably not caring to much about detector users since he was sitting by a mall.

To me, the 'True Lock' issue that a few have reported is an acceptable trade off for peace and quiet in the city for me. My reasoning for this is, any other time with a sensitive detector (in my case, the x50 red & the Valentine 1) a detector would constantly be going off in the city. Thus, the alert would be ignored. At the very least, if you decide not to use 'True Lock', the automode does a pretty darn good job with the ratio of sensitivity vs speed.

USB. That word will be the new standard on the new high end detectors released today. Escort has done an excellent job allowing the users to update their detector without having to send it in to the factory. When I first got a hold of my 9500i the ramp up was struggling. Alerts would skip from half strength to full alert on encounters. Escort released a fix for this, and I simply downloaded the firmware, plugged in my detector, and flashed it to the latest and greatest. If that is not impressive, I dont know what is.

Overall the new Escort 9500i is one impressive detector built on a solid foundation. This quite possibly could turn into the perfect detector.

Review Of The LJT1 Laser Tester By Forum Member "Fatchick1o9"

Blinder-Guy sells a handy tool for basic testing of your Blinder M27/M37/M47. The LJT1.Which you can purchase here Click Here. After using the tool for a while I decided to share some of what I've learned in the hopes that it will be useful to someone considering buying an LJT1. As a geek, I'm perpetually compelled to take things apart to understand how they work and how I can modify them to better suit my needs. So that is just what I did after purchasing an LJT1 from Blinder-Guy's webstore. Here are my observations.

1) When using the device you need to press & hold the fire button for ~1-2 seconds to start the test cycle. Continue holding the button as the tester cycles through the 3 test patterns. Test 1 = 100 PPS. Test 2 = 125 PPS. Test 2 = 200 PPS. (PPA rates verified by using an XTR-690SE with LaserID mode enabled). The Red test LED on top will flash accordingly to indicate the test cycle it is in.

2) The range of the device seemed somewhat limited. Even for a simple testing tool. After investigating the build of the device I came to find out that the opening in the front of the device is ~1/2 the size of the IR LED and the LED was not centered in the hole. (See picture below). So I decided to fix that by opening up the case and using an X-acto knife to carefully carve out some of the material and open up the hole. Testing range increased as follows. Before = ~20'-30'. After = 100'+.



3) The device has a nice semi-nonslip textured surface. The fire button has a nice tactile feel and the case is fairly sturdy. It should hold up well as long as you don't use it for a wheel chock.

4) $ vs Value = Definitely worth the money. It's not meant to be a complete testing solution. It's a single tool to test a few basic functions. When combined with a camera capable of seeing into the IR spectrum, the LJT1 becomes even more valuable. You can use it to not only test that transponders are working, but you can view each head individually and verify that all IR LED's are firing. You can use it to test your RD and compare the sensitivity of the RD vs the Blinder. etc etc etc.

5) The battery compartment is a bit over sized (though the opening is kinda tight) so I would recommend either using the double-sided sticky foam included or use some Kleenex/tissue paper to stuff in on one side to help secure the battery. I hate loose components in my devices/installs. Personally I wont use the sticky foam because it will make it a PITA to remove the battery when it does die. FYI the LJT1 comes with a Heavy Duty battery, not an Alkaline battery.

6) I believe strongly in gratuitous Tech Pr0n pictures. So this last pic is nothing more than that.



Here is a video of users jmccam using the LJT1 tester in conjunction with an IR capable camera (Sony Handycam) to view the Blinder system in action. It shows that his heads are receiving & transmitting. The video shows all 3 PPS rate of the test cycle. This video is from another member "jmccam" uing the tester. M47 Firing Using Tester
