Is this overkill for rear protection?

Check this out...

It works well when i tested it... got a JFG from 75ft with an Ultralyte at a 10 degree angle...

Is that 2 ZR3 rear jammer heads along with the 2 front heads installed?

You can't have overkill with rear protection unless you get JFG 100% of the time and you add more jammers.

In South Africa, is that all you have is Laser Speed Cameras that shoot the rear?

Yes, thats 2rear and 2 front heads... hehe..

Well, i would say 80% of the time, they target you from behind....

What i have noticed with this installation is that when i do get alerted, the 2 front heads (the ones that are wider spaced apart) only go off... the 2 rear heads seem like they dont pick them up... I have the 2 front heads splitted on the front inputs to the interface... the 2 rear are splitted with the 1 rear input... it seems like the interface module, some how allows the front heads to take priority over the rear ones... not sure...

But when i just use the 2 rear heads, then they do pick up the laser but are not as effective as 4 from close range...

nice! now add a LPP to the back & front and you can apply for a stealth certificate from RacerX.

When you say rear heads, are you talking about the one that's made into a tag frame, or do you have 2 more front heads, hooked to the rear head connection?

yes rear heads are the long heads designed to fit on top of the licence plate.

This is my setup... 6 heads in total, 2 up front, 4 on the rear.....

The 2 up front are the usual front heads...

The 4 on the rear are the 2 rear heads(plate style) and additionally 2 front heads.

The 2 rear heads on the rear are connected with a splitter to the single rear input on the interface module.

Then... i have split both of the front inputs on the interface module. I now have 4 connections, 2 per front input on the module. The 2 up front are connected to the 2 front inputs and the 2 on the rear are connected to the other 2 available inputs. In essence, the 1 up front and the 1 on the rear is connected to 1 front input on the module.

Make sense?

anjoem isnt this rear protection due to a laser shot from behind that resulted with a ticket?

**anjoem** · 07-26-2006, 09:02 AM

not actually... i only had the 2 rear heads (licence plate heads) on at the time... and i only got caught because of the extreme angle...

when i saw the topic my answer was "you can never have too much rear protection."

setup looks good.
the shifters seem to give "priority" to the front ones for indication purposes, but whatever gets shot will be jamming.

i was going to remind you to mount "bubble up", but i saw the thread you started on that. good call.
