[font=Arial,'Arial Black']HOW THEY WORK:[/font] [font=Arial,'Arial Black']On the radar side, we use the Police radar gun's signal for the carrier wave, we do not transmit (this is what makes our jammers legal). We receive this signal, run it through our circuitry and then piggyback it with an FM chirp (or noise). When this signal goes back to the radar gun (reflective receiver), the computer gets confused because it is looking for the Doppler shift and since the modulation has been changed, the computer doesn't recognize it and sits there blank waiting for the shift. [/font]
[font=Arial,'Arial Black']On the laser side, we put a field of light out in front of the vehicle (its infrared, you can't see it, but you don't want to block it). When the Police laser beam enters this field, we change its pulse width (pico seconds). This also confuses the computer. Thus, no hard reading! [/font]
[font=Arial,'Arial Black']All Jammers (even transmitters) have a term called "punch-through". This means the closer you get, about a 100' for a midsize car, there is still a chance of being picked up. This is because the Police radar signal gets stronger and your vehicle's surface gets larger and it just wants to bleed through. It won't happen all the time but it can and you need to use some discretion when you get close to the source of the radar signal. And this is wise because even if the Police can't get a reading and they see you flying, they will come after you anyway. So we recommend a little discretion when using these devices. [/font]
[font=Arial,'Arial Black']Jammers are where the technology is going! Radar detectors by themselves are basically worthless with the "instant on" radar the Police are using now. Instant-on is where the Police sit and wait till you get right on top of them and they turn the gun on and wham, all your detector does is tell you to pull over. The jammers are what you need because they protect, not just warn like a detector does. We still recommend using a detector because you still want to know where they are at. And this why our combination units are so popular because it has both the jammer and the detector in one. [/font]
[font=Arial,'Arial Black']CAUTION: All radar jammers have a term called "punch-through". This punch-through distance is proportionate to the size of the vehicle. For a midsize car, the punch-through is under 100 feet. For larger vehicles ie. tractor trailers, busses, etc., the punch-through is approximately 200-300 feet. Your vehicle is vulnerable in this range. The driver should adjust his speed accordingly. [/font]
[font=Arial,'Arial Black']Pay attention to your detector, if it keeps going off, the radar gun is not getting a lock. So, let your foot off the accellerator. No need to react suddenly by applying the brakes. The jammer portion will protect you by blanking out the display on the radar/laser gun and allow you time to adjust your speed without unnecessary and sometimes hazardous reactions. [/font]
