Scramblers

[aDumpsterJedi]

So is anyone running a scrambler? If so, where did you mount it and what brand are you running?

Radar scrambler. Scrambles police radar detectors.

Ah, different name. Radar detector. Thanks. Where are you?

Those are not legal in the states. But you can read about them HERE

Illegal in Australia ...

No it's different than a detector, scramblers actually scrambler the radar giving it a 0mph or a error code. I'm in the states

Ya that article references jammers and detectors, a scrambler is different.

Ya couldn't figure out how to edit my post to add to it. Someone seems a little salty they thought they were coming here to educate me and had no idea what he was talking about though.

They are the same thing. Scrambler, Jammer...whatever
Radar scramblers, are also known as radar jammers. Which in turn jams/scrambles the radar that returns to the radar transmittor and can
sometimes result in a non result. Semantics.

I don't know anything about this stuff. But it seems to me a feckless device, if the cop up the road has a reliable radar gun pointed right at you, and your vehicle won't paint. Wouldn't that make the cop suspicious that you have a scrambler/jammer onboard?

 

[Alpinesting]

Well..yeah! Of course!

I'm sure they will be, that's why placement is so important. That's why I asked where people had theirs mounted if they had one.

Fun fact: in Ohio you have to be able to visually estimate speed within a certain % to pass your OPOTA cert. Your visual estimations are verified via LiDAR.

In other words, you can earn that speeding ticket via visual estimation alone. The radar/lidar merely backs that up.

Check out Vortex Radar on utube he is your go to source for all.
I'm running a detector not a blocker and swear buy it for radar over a mile in advance it also does Lazer but your already hit when you detect, we'll worth the investment

Jammers also can interfere with radios and a scrambler does not.

Okay. Would you like to know why?
