$599!

how much would the group price be?


I still cringe at the $400 spent for the V1

Here we go again!....

The thing about radar jammers is that a lot of the ones that I had seen in the past were somewhat questionable. How is this one any different?

I would like to see more technical information on this device before I would even consider it (e.g. does it have an integrated detector or could it be connected to a V1, length of burst mode, wattage output...) Also, I believe this type of device could get you in serious trouble with the FCC for radiofrequency broadcasting without a license (up to $10k fine..)

According to info posted at speedzones.com radar jammers are Illegal under federal law.

"Jamming or attempting to jam a police radar gun is a federal felony punishable by fines up to $74,000 and one year in Jail. Section 333, 47 United States Code, USC 33.4, Section 15.20, CFR 47."

I'm not sure that I'd want to risk it.. The FCC has won every case that I can find against "Jammer" manufacturers.. (Which may be why the boxes keep getting new names.)
