    Well, Maybe one sensor would be enough.

    Here is a photo of the style of my car.
    I'm thinking the red would be the ideal place to mount.
    Here in NC we are not required to have a front tag so
    that really won't be an issue.

    IMHO the more protection you can afford the better.

    2 heads placed as close to the headlights (i.e. red) should guarantee JTG and minimise "spurious" PT's.

    My own personal experience has left me with the belief that there is safety in over engineering your protection. You're very lucky not to have to have a front plate, which reduces one of the potential soft points of your car, so the headlamps become the main source of reflected lidar signal.

    Keep to 2 heads at the red marks and you'll be safe and happy.

    charles punchthrough on the Prolaser2 with dual heads is thanks to the LPP having occasional problems with the Laser Atlanta in noirmal mode. Which has the same pulse rate as a Laser Atlanta in normal mode

    But that is just an educated guess

    Certainly adds some extra ideas into the mix Rob.

    Personally I'm of the mind that the huge headlights on my car combined with a front plate, spread over a large frontal area, combined with my initial poor placement of the heads gave rise to my PT at distance.

    The close up PT were deffo the plate's position in relation to the heads.


    When I get a mo soon, I'm gonna turn off my 3rd head by the plate and see if the wider placement of the heads closer to the headlights has changed the PT "experience"

    Use dual heads and go with the red dots for placement. One head may protect you well enough. Tell me that you won't be cursing your head off on the side of the road if you choose to spend $250 less and go single head and get a ticket. Two heads will protect a truck, but that is not the point. Either you want protection or you don't. Better safe than sorry. I'd rather have too much protection than not enough :!: That's why I run a Valentine 1 (there are other good choices as well) and not some $150 piece of junk that might save me once or twice on K band and fail me on 35.5 Ka band, leaving me with a $250 ticket and years of increased insurance premiums :!:

    You may all of a sudden need both heads if you come up against a Laser Atlanta, or some close ambush situation. You don't need to really worry about the rest of the guns out there IMHO.

    My Antilaser G8 dual head unit has given me nothing but JTG's on everything that I have tested to date. It is a great jammer with excellent customer service. Nothing has taken more than three days to get here from Croatia. Everything is sent DHL express (not my favorite carrier) and turn around times have been great. Feel free to PM me with any other questions if you have any :!:

    I definately recommend the red placement.......especially if your not running a front plate. I second the dual head setup, better safe than sorry.

    A dual head LPP or AL using the red placement should give you consistent JTG's on everything short of the laser atlanta.

    I find this line of thought nearly impossible to argue against.

    If your budget allows, definitely "over-protect."

    And if your budget doesn't....

    (1) Get "good enough" protection to tide you over until you do get enough funds together ( eat Ramen and drink water, for weeks, if necessary - trust me, I'm a new father who's diverted nearly all of his available funds towards my baby's present and future - and since I'm adamant about paying for all of my "toys" in cash...I know what it's like to hunker-down and scrape every cent together and save for the stuff that I lust after ) or

    (2) Just drive reasonably enough until you get proper protection taken care of.
