jammers...anyone try them?

[99t1]

Back @1985 I hade a nifty "black box" unit disguised as big air freshener and it did work with X,K & Ka. The company that built them on Long Island got it to a big s_it storm since they were not just recievers (yes I know all detectors including Valentines emit signals) but this unit really cloaked...it saved me many times especially at night and was well worth the @$600paid for it.

Anybody out there using these? http://www.radarjammers.com/

I have tried them and they don't do anything except detect, I have tested quite a few because a few cops are friends of the family and let me try some stuff out their pretty cool.

This is what I found

1.nothing from rocky mountion radar does anything except detect

2.none of the "fm chirp" jammers do anything (but they are legal) all they are is over priced detecters.

3.there is only 1 company I have found to work flawlessly BUT there are 2 jammers 1 for every type of lazer and 1 for every type of radar and its upgradeable there are the phantom RCDXP for radar and the BLINDER for lazer, I have both of these in my car now and have yet to geta speeding ticket, but i gotta tell ya i would hide the phantom its really not much to look at.

here is the link

that place sells both.

p.s People are going to tell you that "none of them work" and explain why but trust me i have tested those 2 PERSONALY and they do work and work GREAT.

Hope this helps

Ohhhh and also everything that says passive means wont jam anything

Unless you build your own active jammer that actually broadcasts radar signals, then they are junk. Laser CAN be jammed, since it is not regulated by the FCC, rather the FDA, of all people. No rules against laser jamming. Yet.

STUGOTS,
I know you have tested these jammers and you say they work. I'm not saying you don't know what you saw...
However,
I spent a over 20 years doing electronic warfare R&D for the US Navy. I've worked with all kinds of jammers and warning receivers.

I can tell you that police radar can be jammed. I have both a K and an X band gun and we played around in the lab jamming both of them.
The problem is, you must transmit a microwave signal and this is against the law.
You could build one that would work but if you advertised it, you would get the FCC on your case very quickly.
That's why I find it hard to believe that any company is openly selling radar jammers that work.

There is one other problem with any radar jammer, military included.
That is that you must transmit a signal that is powerful enough to jam the radar, without knowing exactly where the radar is.

The target radar has a high gain antenna pointed right at you. You must cover a large area front and back. This calls for a transmit antenna with low gain.
That means that you are not getting very much power into his small antenna.

Large power levels at microwave frequency are very expensive to produce. Small levels are cheap.
You need a high level if you have to cover a large angle front and back.

So, unless someone can tell me EXACTLY how the jammer in question does it's job, I'm going to have to stick with physics.

If anyone wants to know the basics of jamming a police radar, just ask.

 

[STUGOTS]

Im not sure of the physics of it all I do know is I have them and have tested them myself and they do work, I have no idea how they work all I do know is the cop could not get my speed.

Here is a link where they explain how this works,Im sure having a backround dealing with these types of things that you will understand it a hell of alot better then I can.

both models I had in te 80's were VERY active, VERY sought after, very illegal and worked well.

model 1 from california mail order company advertised in the Automotion catalog. It had an under dash controller box with 2 settings...25mph and 55mph and would transmit these speed signals out on X band only. This box was wired to a transmitter that was a long pyramid shaped box @9" and was custom mounted in the front air dam shooting out of a fog light hole. This one worked well for forward cloaking but made the ****** useless since it was always going off.

model 2 was from a speed shop on long island
I had to "know someone" to get it and promised never to divulge the source. Less than a year later, this shop went down hard for making these because they were used only for law evasion and they transmitted without FCC approval . This one was a single black box @12"w x 4"D x 2"H and plugged in to the lighter. It cloaked with a scrammbled signal to X, K and KA bands making the guns unable to get any return reading. this was up on the dash and disguised as an air freshener with fake product model and serial number stickers on the bottom. this one worked well also for forward cloaking but also made my detector and any others areound go crazy so you just ran fast with cloaking and no detector. I would have liked to have used of both tools but this was not possible with local transmissions less than a foot apart. This box was stolen from my truck in NYC and probably sold on a blanket a few blocks away to some poor unsuspecting old lady who wanted her car to smell better.

Besides saving me from may instant ons the most fun I had with it was racing a porsche on a country road one night @100mph and he was about 4 car lengths ahead and I turned it on and his "bird dog" lit up practically on fire...he panic braked and I had to panic brake not to hit him...then he u turned and was gone as fast as he could go...scared sh_tless!

I would agree that if it's not active...ie putting out signal...I doubt it works...and if it does work it's probably illegal.

 

[joe117]

I looked at the link. They have no specifications or any explanation of how their units work.

Look, the police radar units are type accepted by the FCC. It is against Federal law to interfere with electronic devices.

They say it transmits a signal.
They say it interferes with police radar.

If it did those things it would be illegal.
It's as simple as that.

 

[joe117]

I do have a small K band transmitter built into a flashlight.
It looks just like a flashlight but it will set off every radar detector within line of sight.

It will not jam radar.
I made it from a motion detector unit used to open doors.

It's fun. You can light people up. Fire comes out of their brakes at night.

I know, Joe is a di ck.

There was a company selling something like this a couple years ago.. "I have been trying to find info on em.. but just draw a blank. Damn that would be a fun toy!

 

[Andy 98 RT/10]

I think "Phantom" may be the company in which you are referring to.

 

[GraphiteGTS]

I have a friend who has a traffic signal jammer. He uses it when traffic is nonexistent.

 

[SNKEBIT]

Oh jammers, I thought you said Jammies,,,,,,

 

[BadVenm]

I tried a few, no luck with any, until.....I found the Phantom. I think this is the one a couple people above are talking about.

Back when I used it, it saved my bacon countless times!

What they claimed in the ad when I bought one years ago was.....

The ad said that it was against the law to carry a device in your vehicle that emits a signal that would interfere with the radar signal. (paraphrased, not exact wording)

But they claimed the Phantom device was legal because it did not emit a constant interfering signal. But it did take in the signal, scramble it, and send it back. Since it was sending back the radar guns own signal, and it did not emit a signal of it's own, they said it "technically" it fell within the legal guide lines.

They also said it had a "break through" zone. Meaning that once you got within a certain distance, I think they said 25 yards, that it would not protect you. They claimed once you were that close the mass, due to the size of your vehicle, the radar signal would correct itself, or get a good reading, I don't remember the exact ad copy, but this is all pretty close.

I haven't used it in a couple of years, I think I could find it in the garage, I just assumed since it's about 6 years old that it is old technology so I've left it on the shelf.

I once heard if you mount a fish finder in your vehicle, grill, it will jam radar. That story is about 15 years old.

Who knows. I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find a unit that will do the job, legal or illegal.


Edit:

I went to the garage and found two devices I used to use. My old Cincinnati Microwave "Passport" radar detector. Also the Phantom Jammer, however it looks nothing like the one in the link above. I'm not even sure if they are the same after seeing the link pic's and my old one. I plan on plugging them both in on my way in, in the morning and see if they still work!

 

[STUGOTS]

Phantom is what i have the newest model i know of is what i have the phantom RCDXP and it works great

 

[joe117]

Exactly how did you test it STU?

 

[Tiepilot]

To bad I can't get one of those to test and set the record straight. I still have many friends in traffic units that would be glad to provide the lastest radars and lasers. It'd certainly end this conversation quickly.

STU, without being in the patrol car how do you know that you were even the target of any detection device? Just asking, no flame intended.

 

[STUGOTS]

I asked a friend of the family (who is a cop) to test my jammers that I got and there were alot trust me, I tried about 3 from rocky mountion radar all duds,hes a cool guy he also raced me in his cop car at like 3 am and my viper ripped him apart.

He has access to 3 diffrent types 2 lazers and stalker dual radar and my car jammed all 3 NOW, but the others would not even jam 1, the setup i have now is the only one i have found to work.

 

[AJT]

STUGOTS, thanks for the info.

Andy

 

[STUGOTS]

anytime

Nice plate

 

[Tiepilot]

Now that's a fact you should have put forth!! That is really impressive. Never thought they worked due to the law being strict in this area. Wish I had one...LOL

 

[Donzi]

STU is correct, here is the link for the only one that works,
but beware its use is illegal and you are subject to a federal felony.....very much more serious that a state felony. It also triggers every radar detector within 2 miles. It is NOT the crappy RMR (Rockey mountain Radar unit) that also uses the name Phantom.....THAT ONE DOES NOT WORK!!!
