radar detectors

[pteam]

What do you guys think about something like this http://www.radarscramblers.com/product_C450.htm ? Its the new version of what I have now which is the phantom 2 . Its supposted to scramble radar and laser, and although you never know if it works in 5 years having had a lamborghini, ferraris, viper, porsches, I've never had ONE speeding ticket!!! ::knocks on wood:: although my phantom 2 is on its last legs and I'm gonna have to get something new now, I'd rather have the scrambling ability than just the detection, cause like nick said above you get hit with a laser or a radar over a hill or similiar and u have no time to slow down your already hit.

The phantom, like the complete line of "passive jammer" products from Rocky Mountain Radar is a scam. Do a quick search on sites that are note selling the product, or check out radartest.com. They opened it up and found out that it had "just enough electronics inside to make the lights blink," and worse, aside from the product not actually jamming anything, the antenna made the vehicle easier to detect via radar. Further, if you read their speeding ticket guarantee, the fine print says something like they only pay if the ticket was for less than 10% over the posted speed limit.

Passive radar jamming is simply false – it does not work. Active radar jamming works but is illegal (and I don’t think anyone has every built a Ka unit anyway). Your best bet is to just pick up a good V1 or Escort. For some extra $$, you can spring for a laser jammer – those actually work (when from a reputable company). I did this and am very happy with the purchase.

Valentine has saved me multiple times now. The only problem I've found is the lack of space to put it in the Box it is visible to cops out the back window. I bought a conceal display and have yet to install it but, that should take care of that problem. I know where they are but, they see it in the window and follow me. It happened on my way to lunch the other day and on the way back to work. I don't know if they think I'm just going to jam on the gas when I know they're behind me or what...

I went with the Escort SRX. Excellent system. The "shifter" definitely works.
