Is this a good way to test you laser jammer and detector? Does it have the same power and divergence as a regular laser gun? This thing measures speed up to 400mph and can be bought for under $200.

Interesting. The Osprey rangefinder is a popular one here for testing laser detectors and jammers here, it's available for a similar cost, or cheaper.

The Osprey rangefinder looks better but i don't think that they make them anymore. Although, Newcon Optik seems to make a similar product but at a higher price.

What about bushnell products? Aren't they made by LTI? I would assume that they share similar hardware as the LTI speed guns.

different pulse rates etc but if they are 904nm they will set off your detector.

Also try sending a file on your cellphone via IR and while transmitting hold the cellphone infront of the laser diode of the detector, this should set it off! I know it worked on my RX65.

Help me out here. I just looked on ebay for "osprey rangefinder" and "osprey laser." Both searches resulted in *zero* hits.

My uncle has one (not sure on the brand), and I used it to fire at my detector and it did set off the laser alert... it also set off my bro-inlaw's X50.
