SpyBuster ever saved anyone?

Just curious to know if anyone actually has one of these, and has it saved them from airborne Vascar.

I have one of them, but aside from briefly trying it out, I haven't really used it in my car. Also, I have never personally seen aircraft VASCAR being used...

We have it down here...would you be interested in sending it to me for some real world testing?

They have it down there? I thought it was more of a north/central Florida thing.

Yeah, I hear they REALLY like to do it on Alligator Alley too.

they have also been on I10 lately to Ive been lookng for a spybuster for a long time where u get ursfrom

can someone explain what spybuster is? I googled it and it looks like spyware remover for pc's.

It detected aircraft transponders in the 1.09 GHz range.

Here's the text from a couple of ads:

AMBUSH DETECTOR TRACKS POLICE PLANS OVERHEAD --
WARNS YOU WHEN THERE'S A BEAR IN THE AIR!


OVERHEAD SURVEILLANCE -- Your speed is being clocked
from above by a growing fleet of police-owned Cessna 172's
and 182's. They don't use radar (it can't be used from
airplanes), just a simple stopwatch, so your radar detector
won't help. And by the time you notice the tell-tale white
hash marks painted every 1/4 mile along the Interstates,
it's too late! Using aircraft surveillance, troopers
typically quadruple their tickets-per-hour versus radar
(8/hr vs 2/hr!). Ohio alone has a fleet of 10 Cessnas and 3
helicopters, with more on order. And in Florida, 1/4 mi.
markers have been painted on 140 miles of continuous miles
of Interstate. Clearly new technology is need to warn you
of spies in the sky!


A TRACKING COMPUTER -- Spybuster detects aircraft, not
police radar! Highly specialized SMD circuitry operating at
1-2 gigahertz [What I think they mean is that the thingy
receives signals over that frequency range. If, however,
they have built a computer with a clock speed of 2 GHz, I
would like to know more...] receives signals from the FAA's
ground-based aircraft surveillance system. As these signals
reflect off airplanes, Spybuster locates and tracks with
military precision [Well, that isn't saying much is it?
Does anybody recall the precision of the DIVAD?!?] any plane
within a 6 mile radius of your car (scans a full 360 deg.)
[Thanks. I was always confused about how many degrees were
in a complete radius]. With more than one plane in the
area, Spybuster locks on to the closest one (police planes
operate at a low 2000-5000'). It then computes that plane's
closing rate relative to your position, ignoring fast-moving
747's and jet fighters. Since surveillance Cessnas operate
at only 100-140 mph [So, theoretically, I could out run one
if I was going, oh, say 160...], Spybuster warns you
immediately of any plane "loitering" in your area, or
tracking a parallel course. Spybuster is occasionally [sic]
fooled by an innocent civilian aircraft, but has proven
uncannily accurate in identifying police planes before they
get into position to clock your speed!


TARGET RANGE READOUT -- Spybuster's power switch
performs a self-test [Ok. How's it do that? Must be a *BEEP*
complex switch.] and permits muting of the audio alert. The
second green LED is the Tracking Indicator, and lights only
when Spybuster has locked on to a suspect aircraft. [When
will the surface-to-air missile option be available?] The
4-segment Range Readout then flashes in sequence as the
target plane or helicopter closes in. Variable Range
Control lets you set the distance at which Spybuster alerts
you. So when the audio is triggered, and the Range Readout
begins to sequence, there's probably a Bear in the air!


...


Price: $299



"The SPYBUSTER(TM) is truly a star wars device. Over three years in
design and development by the man who invented the Fuzzbuster(R), it
will do what has been considered impossible...IT WILL DETECT
SURVEILLANCE AIRCRAFT! Now you can defend yourself against this ever
expanding menace."


"The Federal Aviation Administration's new radar system now keeps
track of virtually all aircraft in U.S. airspace. The SPYBUSTER(TM)
utilizes Big Brother's own signals to automatically alert you to the
presence of surveillance aircraft. This unique and highly
sophisticated operating principle makes the SPYBUSTER(TM) effective
and LEGAL throughout the country."


The price of this wonder is $279.95 + $3.00 s&h, and you can order it
from Electrolert, Inc., by calling 1-800-543-3848.

I got mine from a guy who came on the forum here asking about it. They're pretty hard to find.

From what I read, they weren't all that effective and the falsed a lot from civilian aircraft, so they weren't all that popular, and also expensive.

:lol:

Nah, it's more of a collectors item than anything...

For people who are actually considering something like this for a counntermeasure, there are some small aircraft anti-collision warning devices out there that should do the trick. Here's on that someone posted in another thread:

It runs on AA's...

$550? Christ, avionics are expensive as crap.

That's actually pretty cheap considering. Basic two way (no nav or GS), panel mount, radios go for about three times that new. Compare that to a comparable 10w commercial or amateur two way radio at about $200-300. Gotta love the FAA!!

The one that gives direction

An industry first, XRX detects threat aircraft direction from within your cockpit using a cutting-edge, proprietary, self-contained antenna design. With direction, locating and identifying traffic is simple and easy, and traffic information is "three-dimensional", which means it can be displayed on third-party systems, such as moving map GPS devices. Read more about this below.

This one is like the V1/9500ci of Aircraft detection lol, it's got the arrows!!

^^ That's what I was thinking too.
$1795 :shock:
