    Default Escort 8500 X50 and Radar Jammer

    NO!!!

    If you use a Scorpion with a radar detector, the Scorpion WILL set off the detector, even when the jammer is in standby mode.

    The jammer transmitters still leak enough in "standby" to set off radar detectors with a block of your location.

    So even a high end detector will be set off? 8500 and V1?

    Don't buy a radar jammer. Enough said.

    You have 2(two) radar detectors AND 2 radar units in one vehicle? And you want to run both radars AND both detectors at the same time, AND you want to get a SCORPION jammer (jail)? You may as well go to the LEA and say "here I am" because you will be a rolling RF Christmas tree.

    IF you have this type of setup, you will never know what's real. You may not damage your RDs but your RDs will be picking up your own transmissions, not to mention reflections. Your own transmissions may cancel each other out. Man, are you asking for trouble.

    yes, in my car i have 2 police radar, a blinder M20 laser jammer and a passport X50 radar detector. (I have 4 Other radar detector but i never use it) But i dont use my police radar in the same time than my passport X50 detector, i just turn my police radar on sometime because i'm curious and sometime when i see an another car going very fast, i like to know his speed. But almost all the time, the 2 police radar is turn OFF and only the passport X50 radar detector is turn ON.

    I have receive a brand new blinder M20 too but i have not installed it, i dont have the time to install that now, but i will probably install it during the next week end...

    And for the RADAR jammer (scorpion) i plan to buy one, but i dont live in USA i'm in Canada, so i have to check with the FCC to find out what is the law agains jammer in Canada... (if you get caught with a radar detector here, you have to paid 500$ and you loose your radar detector -- The M20 LASER jammer is legal -- but i dont know for the scorpion jammer)

    The Scorpion is NOT legal here, but I think the fine is the same $500 deal. However you should check with CRTC to make sure you don't have too much problem - FCC is only for the USA.
