hello guys

[stig15]

Ive been lurking these forums and first off like someone posted earlier today, I cannot post new threads in any other section but this nor can I comment on any. Is there a reason for that?

Secondly I have gotten a lot more knowledge on laser jammers and radar detectors since lurking here. Unfortunately I bought a zr4 when I hadnt known anthing about jammers and didnt do any research on it. Nevertheless it does buy me enough time to slow down and I have had 6 saves to date with it and no tickets!

The most recent save being late last night on the Florida turnpike at mile 294. (I would have posted this in the encounters section but cannot post anywhere else) My jammer went off as I was cruising at 95. It took me about 3 seconds to slow down and shut down and my V1 continued to go off for another 2 seconds so I assume he never got my speed until shut down so that was another big save for me. I didnt see what kind of gun he got me with since it was so dark but I would assume a Laser atlanta.

Long story short this little device has easily paid itself off already.

Welcome to the forum. Also, another welcome from one Floridian to another.

FHP are using Truspeed S (Laser) with Stalker Radars. I know for a fact, in terms of Laser Guns, they are unilaterally switching to TruSpeed. Your ZR4 will not jam it. You might want to get rid of it and get a Laser Interceptor. Fairly sure they sticking with Stalker RG's.

Nice thing about FHP on the Turnpike is they generally give you a little bit of leeway (a LITTLE) there. +10 PSL (as long as you are not in a construction zone), and for the most part, you're good on the Turnpike. I-95 is a different story though.

You need to have a few more posts before you can be ''unrestricted''. My understanding is that there is only one moderator that approves the post and he does come that often.

I doubt it was Laser Atlanta as the ZR4s will trigger the jam code every single time. But it could be who knows

What AvsBest said could be it.I just joined today myself but have only been "replying" to threads & have not had any problems.
From you & new guy "firemedic" difficulties think I'd better wait a little longer before I try to create a new thread.

Yeah my only reason I thought it was a laser atlanta was because I was cited a misdemeanor for "possession of a laser jammer". The guy threatened multiple times to take me to jail too. Cop claimed he couldnt get my speed (obviously) and that his gun threw a JA 3 code which I argued with him for about a half hour that it could be a sweeping error ... long story short my case never made it to court as I was cited for the wrong law. I would be surprised if that gun he used was a stalker as that would be my 3rd stalker save which doesnt make sense based off the experimental data provided on here. I should have been dead in the water with the zr4.

I have been looking to upgrade to a laser interceptor but have put my money in other things. Now that you mention the force is upgrading to truspeeds I am seriously going to consider it now. Is there any sources I can read on what FHP uses and why they are switching to truspeeds?

Well, right now, FHP uses everything under the sun. They have Kustom PL III, LTI Ultralyte, and I've heard they also use Laser Atlanta. They already have a few TruSpeed S's. They are lightweight, rugged, and most jammers can't stop them. Best of all, they are one of the cheapest laser guns on the market at $1300 a pop. For law enforcement, cost-effectiveness is key, considering how tight police budgets can be.

I imagine they want to streamline all their equipment, so that they have only one type of gun. Also, if they buy a single gun in bulk for their troopers, they will probably get a good deal at a lower price.

FHP is not alone in this. California Troopers are getting plenty of TruSpeed S's as well.

makes sense. better switch up before getting caught lol. Idk if u can recommend me but for the LI are the hp's worth the extra money? I can find any test data of an hp setup vs a regular setup

Hi stig,
I'm new myself but have tech background.Regular LED based ECM sys are lower power output.They have limitations as to effectiveness.

Depends on your budget which way to go.Lo Pwr units have historically proven very reliable,not so much w/ Hi pwr.IMO, track record is still questionable.
