    Default BAGGED today!! 97mph in a 65..... LI punch through @ 1980 feet! I94 Chicago - MKE

    (update 9/6/2010... I did talk to Cliff @ LI - he called me literally 5 minutes after I sent him an email asking him if he could look at my set up. See my update further in the thread with todays post date 9.6.2010)

    (update 9/28/2010) After several hours of testing with my new Ultralyte LRB turns out my set up works perfectly. The laser interceptor did not allow a single P/T. Turns out the sensors must have been blocked / obstructed by the crest of the hill. See the testing video on post #131, page ~14.

    I have the LI dual head set up with a third single head in the rear. This morning at 430AM on the way back from Chicago to mke I was blasted with an Ultralyte 20/20 gun at 1984 feet and was cited for 97mph in a 65. Joyous moment really. $342. 6 points. 32 over. I don't know why my laser interceptor did not work but it did alert simultaneously as the V1 was alerting. He took one hit and that apparently was all he needed. My jaw dropped when he said '97' mph. I asked to see the gun after he handed me the citation and he was happy to show it to me. Sure enough the pink backlit display indicated 97mph.

    Conditions were clear, asphalt 3 lane interstate. The only thing i can think of that would have decreased effectiveness of the LI is that I was coming over a very mild crest in the road, similar to the pic attached... From memory I understand the diodes used in the LI have about a 22 degree horizontal effective area and a 9 degree vertical area. I would think the jamming would still be effective enough even if the cop was 15-20 feet lower in elevation that my car at the point of shot...? The picture is not the actual interstate but almost identical set up at time of laser shot.

    Wow, sorry to hear that. My only thing to say is NOT to speed over hills. One of our cardinal rules

    Wow! Sorry to hear about that. What version LI CPU and Heads? 30+ mph over? Were you crusing at that speed or just got caught doing a short burst? I test out my cars tuning maps and do very short burst to the end of 3rd gear once in a while. Where I go, I know all the locations that they sit with the laser guns. Other than that, I never spend any time 20+ over the PSL.

    Did you have your setup tested before? I know that LI has specific ports for just front heads, and then it's different if you add rear. How were you instructed to plug in the heads (to which ports) using a 3 head setup? Were there any other cars around? I wonder what the width of the beam is at 2000'?

    BTW - I can't see the pictures you posted.

    Post some pictures of your install, I'm going to bet they are mounted low and the hill was blocking the jammer heads from view.

    I can't view the pictures you posted either.

    x3, got a save earlier today going 95 in a 55 with the LI vs. PL2.

    Did he tag you in the rear with 1 head? 1 head will not be enough to protect anything, probably why he got an instant PT.

    Good luck man!

    If it was in illinois you should be able to take traffic school and avoid any points.

    Noooo don't post this!!! I just finished my LI quad install yesterday, lol. That kind of crap in VA would get you jail time. I hope he hit you in the rear, but it doesn't sound like that's the case.

    What's the problem? Just mount them properly and you'll be okay. Remember, JTK
