    Yep, the ZR3 + Veil can handle the Ultralyte pretty well, but the ZR3 and the Stalker don't mix. You need at a minimum, the Blinder M25 + Veil or better yet, an LI to defend yourself against the Stalker.

    With the ZR3, you gotta have Veil to go up against the Stalker. Alternatively, if you have factory HID headlights, then always drive with them on. Recently at the Atlanta Jammerfest we discovered that HID lights help considerably whereas halogen headlights make no difference at all.

    Finally, some proof that headlights do make a difference when it comes to jamming. Actually on the halogen lights MEM, this depends on the design of the headlight. My preliminary tests showed that high/low beams with H4 bulbs does not do well compared to an H5 or H6 bulbs with smaller rounded high beam design. My guess is that, the H4 headlights tend to project the beam in a scattered manner and the smaller rounded design seems to project the beam in a more focussed way. Please use this data as a grain of salt. It needs more testing in my opinion since I only used the stalker to test it a few times.

    We didn't do extensive testing of HID versus halogen. Yet the two vehicles with HID lights had half the PT distance with the HID lights turned on. And two very different vehicles with halogen lights (mine included) showed no difference with the halogen lights turned on. Yeah, this is far from conclusive. The Atlanta group plans to do more thorough testing since this last test for HID lights was a "spur of the moment" after the conclusion of the main tests. Yet the results were enough to get everyone's attention.

    Wasn't there a gun that the ZR3 couldn't jam but the ZR4 could? I guess I just got confused.

    Yes. The gun is the Laser Atlanta when this gun is operated in Stealth Mode. That is the only one. But, as rsatmans will tell you, LA Stealth Mode really sucks. Yep, even laser gun manufacturers occasionally have advertising hyperbole which rivals Cobra.

    It LA is anything like Cobra then Laser Atlanta must be a 2 band laser gun...stealth mode and normal mode.
