Avoiding Jam Codes vs Maximum Performance

[JDS]

At some point I remember reading [I think from a Laser Interceptor rep] that the difficulty in programming laser jammers is not in figuring out how to jam a particular LIDAR gun, but rather how to jam it without a jam code.

So that raises my question of whether standard programming is a compromise between performance and avoiding jam codes.

And, hence, could current jammer performance be improved by rewriting programming without regard for avoiding jam codes?

I understand that many people wish to use jammers in areas where they are illegal and a jam code could lead to penalties. However, jammers are perfectly legal in Florida...hell, I'd be perfectly happy for a LEO to know that I'm jamming his gun

The jam codes on US approved guns are pointless as they are either not sensitive enough or so sensitive they false frequently...


All I do it use the jammer to get to the posted speed limit then I turn the jammer off. I am tempted to JTG some officers but honestly I don't think I ever will

Jamm code in most of EUROPE countries is JAIL... straight away....

Exactly.

Currently, jam-codes here in North America isn't a big deal, at all.

But overseas (both East and West), it's a BIG no-no, and a huge concern.

Honestly, here in North America, even "brute-force" jammers would work just fine. Total disregard for jam-codes, I think, at least for the time-being, isn't a big issue for us, JDS, and running a simple brute-force instrument can be done - forget about writing any special codes.

But then again, look at the LI's amazing performance on the latest GOL. And that comes without tripping the Traffipatrol's dreaded E14.

I think that's proof, from Ivan, that "the best" can be had, even WITHOUT tripping any jam-codes.

Seriously, just judging from the tests, how much more power do you need from the LI.

Knowing nothing about the technical aspects of a jammer...

There is no correlation between the gun performance and jam codes with the latest GOL results.

If it were the case that jammer performance was increased at the cost of jam codes, you would expect to see more on the LI and LPP for instance, and less on the ZR4 and Laser Star. But that is not the case, leading me to believe that jammer performance is independent of jam codes.

it is NOT about the power of jammers, but about the algos, CPU speed, and general hardware design...

either way, performance (which is influenced by cpu, algos, hardware, etc.) does not seem to correlate with jam codes

[interceptor]

o yes, it does... check out Traffipatrol and E-14 on LPP....
