Sorry to say this guys buti think you'll find that the only use of a laser detector is so you know when you've just been knicked i've been inside a camera van when he's been zapping people and you just wouldn't have time to react....i have one but i now know it aint gonna protect me...
Edited much later to say soz didn't read any posts and presumed it was a detector *cough* [god i must be bored ]

Andy555

I tried mine with a tiny hand held laser, one of those that fits on a key ring. Not a peep

I also have a Snooper 6RD.. (or something like that) the one with the radar and laser detector with GPS, and that has alerted me to laser a few times, although could not see anyone with laser gun, and this is nearly always on a motorway. Each tiome it goes off, the jammer stays silent. But this also does not peep/detect the hand held key ring laser that I have. I am going to ring the supplier and ask him if I have a suspect unit.

Anyone know where there are road side speed checks??? Also is this test going ahead, seems like no-one can be assed.

mine "blew up" last week. awaiting a replacement from Comtech

Andy555

"blew up" hell, those lasers must be powerful

Fatman

Mine's gone screwy, too . It's beeping, flashing and squealing at apparently random times. It's going to get set back! They're not doing too well on the reliability front, are they?

TTT

scooby_si

who was actually trying to do the booking then or what have you or was it dying a death

jwallis

RayC,
I've also got a constant high pitched whine from mine when there is wet weather. Did you get yours replaced/tested?

Gooner

Mine gave out a constant high pitch whine, when I contacted the supplier they said it was a fault with the head and replaced it. This is the only problem I have had from 2 units purchased, supplier response was good too!

Fatman

jwallis - I've found my unit misbehaves more in wet weather than dry! Must be a common problem Well, let's hope that the replacement sorts it!

Andy555

We need to get a date and location, we did have a list and RayC was organising it. If we get a date and a location I will arrange for the Tester chap.

Those who are having problems might look into some sort of voltage regulator / smoother. I understand the Impreza's power supply can be quite noisy.

Andy555

OK Then 1st Week in Feb 2004 - if thats ok with everyone, now need a location.

Well I have fitted mine and I am going to test it tomorrow with a Pro Laser after I have checked the alignment. What fitting location have people thought best ? I've fitted mine into my front number plate.
BTW IMHO all you people that cannot trigger you unit with a laser pen / ir control , don't lose sleep just yet , the home office has ONLY licenced one frequency of laser to the police (904nM)
so ALL laser speed equipment works on this frequency ( vans and hand held mobiles) because of the frequency being so specific Target can build quite fine tolerences into the receive circuit( in an attempt to prevent false alarms I presume )
Long range rifle laser sights ( mines 5 kilometres )operate on 635nM - 680nM
Infra red diodes ( even tuneable ones ) operate between 800nM - 850nM so it is possible that you may not be able to trigger the LRC100 with these , I couldnt get mine to do anything on the test bench.
All I can say is watch this space and I will tell you how the test goes ( I will se if I can arrange a piccy too )

the bedofrd 26 it sounds like sum poor innocent peaps who got sent down or sumin lol
But er maybe i have had too many cans of stella, is that possible?, but wots that mean? lol
Si (+ beer)

Andy555

1st or second week should not be a problem for most, reckon is should be on a Sunday.

Whats about Reading, that location came up before? Needs to be somein' like an industrial estate.... Or somewhere off the M1???

King RA

I've still gotta get my 920 fitted, anyone know anywhere in N.W London (Uxbridge/Harrow e.t.c) that will do this. Every car stereo shop I phone up has never fitted one and doesn't have a clue what I'm talking about.

big500

Well mine works perfectly , tested it an hour ago with a pro laser and it clocked the speed for a split second then lost its memory photos for the sceptics

Haven't read full thread but what is the maximum penalty for getting caught interfering with a speed gunetc by a diffuser ?
[please say it's summat' poxy ]

Andy555

So Big500. are you a traffic Policeman?

Do you know anyone in the South who could do us a test, we would make it worth his/her while.

Gatso Busters

Andy - I run tests every Sunday in Reading ....

Mail me if you would like to book a testing session !

Cheers
