I think someone has been watching way too many Star Treck episodes.

Here are a few ways of avoiding radar from the police
A. drive 10mph UNDER the posted speed limit
B. Don't drive at all
C. Take a hammer and track down every radar gun and smash them.

Option C would be far more effective then adding the minimum of 3 sensors and "guns" to your car along with the computing power of the IRS to analize and reemit the correct wavelength to jam said police radar. And when it is all said and done, you would not be able to drive above the speed limit anyway since you would be hauling arround an extra several hundred pounds of crap in your car to do so.


As stated above you are getting so many negative comments because well your question and data has no merit. I am sorry to say, but putting the amount of time and money into do this would be a complete waste. And the police would know something is up when you go zipping by them and their gun registers 0 - all the more reason for them to check out EVERYTHING about your car and suspect you of running drugs or something else to need to put that amount of time and money into this system you have described.

I say go anhead and test it out and report back to us on how it works out for you, and good luck.

Your article was relevant when k was the radar of choice. Ka is the new guy, and both K and Ka all use encoding and frequency scaling now. You risk raising your recorded speed as well!

 

I'm going to say, from a former Avionics tech standpoint, that I'm going to go with Sgt B on this one. Not because that's what my background in radar systems tells me...but because he has experience with the radar guns

Just because you know what the acronym "RADAR" stands for (and a rough estimation of how it works) does not mean it has any bearing whatsoever on this discussion, nor does your ATC experience.

 

NO. If someone has done this to their S2K i'm almost certain they would have posted a How to, or at least bragged about making it!

I agree that this is "ghetto" mod.

My passport 9500IX is superior.

Also I save myself the hassle and headache and do not speed.

 

BTW i found this thread courtesy of BT's fails thread

 

Also after reviewing the OP's Sources. Non of them seem credible or hold any merit. They are also old.

And everytime I drive next to one of those doors, my radar detector (the Superior 9500IX) throws X band, which is no longer used.

 

I never said that this "ghetto mod" was way better than any other legal radar detectors. I'm just saying that this is another way to jam radar guns that still use the X and K band (I know I previously said Ka but that was wrong). I'm posting where I'm getting my information and you guys are posting word of mouth from who said what. I know Sgt. B said he has worked with radar guns, but has he ever been radar jammed?

And for this thread to be in a fail section of a forum. How can it that be when it hasn't even been proven to fail. This was popular with X, K bands 10-20 years ago before forums ever came about. Back then the information was slow to get out.

 

I'm not saying it can't be jammed. I know 100% radar can be jammed. You just need a receiver (such as a radar detectors horn) to detect the incoming signal, a processor to adjust the transmitters frequency and decode and recode the signal modulation of the incoming signal. You also need a ghz oscillator to drive the gun and it needs to be very quick at changing clock speeds. You could just broad spectrum the k band, but you will receive a visitor from the FCC. You have to transmit enough energy to overcome the reflection off of your vehicle back to the LEO. The LEO's gun will say it's been jammed, and it's 50/50 he pulls you over anyway.

 

Oh, really?
You're the one with the theory. It's your burden of proof.
