SML Day One

[TSi+WRX]

RadarRoy, I am curious if they did some POP testing this year. SML's test if I'm not mistaken 3 years in a row concluded that POP burst in 16ms is detected by most RD's which I believe is not true based on my own testing.

I think the GOL's data, for the past several years, have been similar to yours, Azone - that the 67ms POP is capable of being captured, more or less, by the various top-flight detectors, but that it's much, much more pessimistic when it comes to the 16ms. variety.

RadarRoy, I am curious if they did some POP testing this year.

According to his blog they did: "We returned to the testing site five hours later as the El Paso officers were finishing up the POP radar testing."

Can't wait to see the videos and the results from this years testing

Stalker had a new portable automated laser enforcement system that I got to play with. Basically the system has the top end of the Stalker hand held laser gun that interfaces with a laptop and a digital camera. The officer first programs the capture speed into the laptop along with the location after the camera is set up. The automated system then photographs violations saving the images with the date/time/speed to the laptop I learned from the representative that Colorado and Illinois State Police will begin using this system in highway construction zones in the near future.

this is not good. care to elaborate on this system? in IL they already have camera vans, is this the system they are using in the vans? or is this a new technology that will be used in a police car? or a stand alone unit they setup on the side of the road outside of a vehicle?

Yeah saab is right, 904/905, doesn't matter really. In fact some of the current guns say 905 in the specs, like the Stalker...

I wonder what Mem-Tek thinks?

I just got back home from SML and have been up for nearly 24 hours. I am dead on my feet (actually my butt since presently I am sitting down). Anyway, over the past few weeks I have been researching high power IR emitter LEDs and IR receiver LEDs. They all have a a fairly broad emission/detection range of at least +/-15nm before they really begin to roll off in emission/detection. A good example are the specs for the IR detector LEDs in the STi. The STi's manual states that its LEDs have peak sensitivity on 904nm, yet have a bandwidth of +/-33nm. Thus 904nm versus 905nm doesn't amount to any significant difference (definitely less than a 2% difference in sensitivity) in the ability of IR receiver LEDs to detect either 904nm or 905nm.

When I had access to the new True Speed gun, I didn't have the time or resources to do a full blown test with all different jammers.

But from the few runs that I run I would consider the new LTI a very dangerous gun. From my own observations and comments made by others that were there, the True Speed operates on lower power than many of the other laser guns. I would assume then that the problem with some laser jammers is that they don't see it as threat that it is.

One other device that I did mention earlier, but learned some additional information on was the portable Stalker photo laser system. Colorado is using this system in hiighway work zones. The officer sets it up in the work zone and he then goes to the end of the work zone. The officer can then download violations at the end of the work zone with photos of violators and then flag them over and cite.

Roy, so you have shot the TruSpeed at the ZR4, Blinder J15, and LI, correct. Have you tested it on any other jammers?

What were your average punchthroughs on each jammer, and what vehicle were they on?

I think the community is very interested in this new TruSpeed gun!

I know for one since it is so cheap, it will influence my descision of what jammer I buy.

Mem-Tek thanks for all your help during the test!!!

Mem-Tek was complemented by various people that attended the test for his knowledge in the field!!

As far as discussing the "official results" Mem-Tek and I are sworn to secrecy until the results are published in the next few weeks....

Yes there was POP testing, yes there was laser testing, No I cannot discuss the results right now

so the citations are given in hand during the offense and not mailed out later like other photo tickets.

this still seams like revenue generation to me. if it was about safety why would they allow you to speed all through the construction zone and then fine you.

I am curious how it does....even more so how if an update of software is needed it will be handeld with the LI crew......

The LI CPU's processor stores all details, included PPS, of any and all LIDAR encounters. If the Generic Alogarythm is insufficient to deal with the LTI TruSpeed, unlikely, or, as the case might be as newer LIDAR guns come to the marketplace, and they will, it can then be sent to Croatia and LI-Croatia can then read out the details from the memory of this CPU from which a new jamming Alogarythm can formulated to jam the new LIDAR threat. Users may then simply go to the LI-USA Website and purchase an Exchange Upgraded CPU. A small deposit, as well as a charge for the upgrade, will be available in the Online Store and the Exchange Upgraded CPU will be shipped to the user. Once received, the user simply swaps the updated CPU for theirs and returns their old CPU to LI-USA using a prepaid, return addressed envelope included with the exchange CPU. Once their original CPU is received back at LI-USA, their deposit will be refunded.

So it sounds like no fee to make the swap? Too bad this can not be through a home computer.
