Are jammers allowed in WA? or just detectors.

That laser jammer Laser Interceptor is massively effective. Would be fun not allowing the cops to get a reading..... Then u just need to have a rocket jetison the jammer from the car... kinda like CHAFF.

jammers illegal but detectors are fine.

It was disappointing that the new Escort 9500i didn't do so great. Permanently locking out false alarm places using the GPS is a great idea. There is a video though, that shows them locking out a Shell petrol station, but then it doesn't alert to a (real) hand-held radar after locking out the petrol station false.

It is supposed to lock out the exact frequency of the false using the GPS location, but then any other radar sources (in K-band) are still supposed to trigger. The video shows it didn't in this case, so you can see Escort hasn't quite got it right yet.

1) Valentine One
2) STi

But remember they didn't test against Multanovas which is Ka-band 34.4GHz

that's the clincher here guys...if your detector don't work on multinovas then you might as well turn it off...I can absolutely promise you that my escort 8500 works a treat on them.

i have a bel vector STI AU NZ .... its bloody old but its my trusty friend.

He has paid for himself about 100000000000000 x over.

gives me time to wind down my window and shout "Go Fuck yourself" to the camera guy. and also beep my air horns.

Dave, have you tried mounting your X50 vertical before (instead of "normal" horizontally)?
