    Well they do work...The effectiveness though varies on the car you plan to put the Escort zr3's on and if your state requires a front licence plate

    So please tell us the car you are planning to install the Escort ZR3 on?
    The color? And whether your state requires a front licence plate

    eh' thats a big car to cover with just the older Zr3.

    If you are willing to put VEIL on the headlights you could be confident in being save a ticket using that setup.

    Though I would recommend since the rear jammer head with the Escort zr3 is ineffective at protecting the rear of the car from laser I would suggest you move it up front so in a sense you will have three jammer heads up front

    hmm interesting.. what exacly do you mean by VEIL on the headlights? also why is it ineffective at protecting the rear??? IS there another model you would recommend? I was jsut looking at that one because its a very reasonable price..

    The LI is another jammer, though this one is out of your range. Where in FL are you?

    A 3 head setup like the one Volvorob suggested is probably as good as it's going to get. How much are you getting the ZR3 for? It'd have to be pretty cheap, considering it's a bit outdated.

    Well, Check out GOL's website and you'll see what LI is.

    LI is a diode type jammer, it's a top of the line jammer like AL/LPP.
    and Cliff is the USA dealer for LI. Most of the tests are done by the Florida group.
