    Probably, but not anytime soon.

    The ZR3s were released in 2001. The ZR4s were released in 2008 and offered no performance improvement. My math says we can expect a new Escort jammer in about 2015.

    I personally think they need to start from scratch.

    I don't. The ZR4s are incredibly sensitive. They jam everything with a generic algorthm, which is fine, but combining that with a lookup table would be nice. They mostly lack power. MEM-TEK's modified ZR4s proved that Escort is not that far off.

    What baffles me is that on one hand, Belscort is incredibly innovative with their RDs, but on the other hand seems content to make a mediocre laser jammer that uses decade old technology. That just makes no sense, unless they are bound to a non-compete contract with Blinder, who I believe sold them the generic algorthm technology.

    Your point is the exact reason why they should be leaders. They make some exceptional equipment but there shifters are no where close to the equipment that there radar detectors are made from. If they made there radar detectors as good as there shifters you would think twice about paying what you do for there RD.

    Hey DJ has MEM-TEK modified your shifters or are they standed? I know your run veil on your stang but on your vids your zr4's seem to work very well.

    My ZR4s have not been modified. They do well against the guns with the weaker beams(PLII, PLIII, TruSpeed), but struggle against the guns with the stronger beams(Stalker, Ultralyte). I mean, my ZR4s don't jam the Stalker at all.
