first experience w/zr3...not happy

[Mackid343]

well i installed my zr3 the other day and managed to run into an officer yesterday who got an immediate punchthrough at probably 4-500 feet. i was coming down a hill and he was on a side road at the bottom....good thing i knew he was there and i wasnt speeding. however, my estimating is horrible when it comes to hundreds of feet. it could have been 2-300 as well. i dont really know. all i know is it was realtively close range and the gun looked to be a PL3 or ultralyte turned very sideways...which i dont think would have happend. i dont think it was a stalker because i dont think we have any around here, but i could be wrong. in the case that it was a stalker, i definately need a different jammer

i must say i'm really dissapointed in this as after seeing the test results and from some of the testimonials here on the board and then getting these results.

i know it is a VERY easy place to get a ticket without any countermeasures..especially a jammer. had i been speeding at all, i would have had ticket on my record right now. i know this becuase one of my close friends just got busted there recently there and i've seen many others get pulled over there too

as far as im concerned, i do not feel protected anymore driving with it like i did when i first installed it. im sure it'll be ok on a long straight stretch where i'm being shot at a level angle and relatively straight on, but for now i'm seriously thinking of swallowing the restocking fee and returning it as soon as i can get my hands on a better jammer and before the 30 days is up

now after seeing outruns videos and the gol test restults, i kinda wish that i had saved my money and put it toward an antilaser...

not get a ticket? Also, have you considered that the device might have given you enough time to slow down? Nothing is infallible.

x2.

but then again, i also wouldnt feel too happy with this performance.

the reason i say this and the reason i say he got an immediate punchthrough was i had counted about 5 seconds of alert time and now finding out that it alerts 6 seconds after laser is stopped jamming. i also found out that it was closer to 200-300 feet coming down hill...i know this is a very hard position for a jammer to jam in, but if it were an overpass, it would be basically the same

i'm viewing this as a "real world" test in which i would not have been protected. i havnt really been able to give it a chance at a longer flat stretch. im sure it will do well there

sorry to hear man. id be disappointed as well, but hey, as long as it gave you time to slow down and avoid a ticket right?

thats right...but thats the thing i'm worried about from this experience

im sure it'll be a lot better out on the open highway

i looked on google maps and it was actually about 150-200 feet coming down a hill that i was from the cop when i got shot i believe so not nearly as bad as i was worried about

re-doing my veil might help a bit too...its a bit chipped up

but isnt this where most current jammers get PT? around 150-200 ft?

[Mackid343]

yeah i believe so...and coming down hill is really hard for any jammer as the cop would have had a good 15 feet above if he were on an overpass

yeah so i think you got average performance.
