Possibly, at least for short time. But because of the tester design, the rate isn't all that stable over time and temperature, so it would likely drift somewhat and require readjustment again and again. AL and LPP are looking for the very specific pulse rates of the laser guns in their lookup tables, and unfortunately do not have a default algorithm for jamming unrecognised guns.Originally Posted by ELVATO
So does this only test if a detector works or not? Is its beam output anywhat similar to a laser gun in terms of spread, power, etc? Can it be used to comparatively test radar detectors?
It can be used to comparatively test radar detectors, at least somewhat. For example, you'll notice the V1 and 8500 X50 being much more sensitive than many other detectors. But the only true way to test the detectors is by putting them up against each individual laser gun. The detectors all respond differently to each individual model of laser gun due to the differences in pulse rate, pulse duration, optics, etc. You can tell this from VEIL Guy's test:

The tester uses LED's, and NO laser gun that I know of uses LED's. The pulse rate of the tester is well within the valid bandpass for laser guns, but the pulse duration is longer, and not focused by optics. It is much more useful for testing to verify that a detector or jammer is working than it is for trying to perform a conclusive comparison test.
I have what is called the laser activator i got it from your site last year. It does alert my RX65 and V1 but not my LPP. This will not set off most diode jammers to the best of my knowlage. It is a cool tool though.
The laser testers just emit a continous beam of 904nm laser radiation.
LPP for example uses a look up table which compares the received pulse rate of a laser hit with known values. Because of this your LPP will not react to these simple testers.
What would be VERY COOL is if someone with some electronic ability could deisgn a simple laser tester which had a variable pulse rate.
Then you could test your LPP/jammer at all PPS rates of known guns.
I just need it to test my RX65 and my LP905 about once a week or so..
