Here are three main need that I am looking for.
(If there's no one single product that can do both radar and laser, I am open to buying two units, one for radar and one for laser)
1. I need something that can detect (preferably jam) both radar and laser.
2. I need the system to be invisible to police officers (including when the police officer is standing at my window, I don't want them to see)
3. I do city and highway about half-half, so I would like for the system to be able to do both (if not, I prefer it to be better at highway)
Thank you all ahead of time for helping!
1) All current RDs can detect both radar and laser with varying degrees of success. Forget about even attempting to jam radar from the same (or any other unit for that matter). First off they are not effective against the newer digital police radars and second off, even if they were it is a federal offense to even attempt to do so. Forget about manufacturers claims to jam or otherwise scramble radar or laser. It simply is not the case. Roy has had a website that he offered 50K for anyone proviing that such a detector/scrambler could actually do it. It's been more than a decade and he never had to pay out.
2) The only detectors that are invisible to the eye basically are remote systems. To get into the Escort/Beltronics you are looking anywhere from 1000 to more. The 9500ci does have a combined radar detection and laser jamming system that is adequate for the vast majority of lidar encounters, plus it offers extremely exceptional detection performance and also can not be detected by RDDs (important in you ever drive in VA or most of Canada, or DC, or on military bases).
3) The units above would meet this criteria.
The alternative is to dare to spend less. Whistler makes a 3600 remote detector that detects both radar and laser but does not jam. It's performance is good and I drive with one on one of my vehicles. I routinely drive 25 over and it hasn't failed me yet. In this case you could then add a separate laser jammer either by Blinder, Escort, of ALP.
Most online enthusiasts promote the ALP, but they are no longer as mighty as they once were at defeating Dragon Eyes. In fact they dropped the reference to the DragonEye from their website some time ago. If you can live with a slightly less capable unit, you could save some money with either the Escort Lasershifter Pro or the Blinder HP905 system. RadarBusters offers everything except the ALP.
Hope this information was useful to you.
