    Default LASER POINTER VS RADAR DETECTOR

    So, we are snowed in, and bored at my buddies house.
    Curious if you think pointing a laser pointier at my RD, if it will possibly go off?

    GET BACK TO ME NOW!

    No. Police lidar is on a different frequency than that used in a pointer.

    No problem.

    It would be kinnda cool if it did set it off. You can get a laser tester from Roy for about 30 bucks that will set off the laser on your RD. (for those times when your are bored again )

    I haven't found a remote that sets off my X50 yet Isn't the V1 alot easier to set off, though(one of the perks of uber laser sensitivity )?

    Heck the laser on the V1 will get set off by a bright construction sign on the freeway.
