- Several years ago, I used to see adds for a little box folks were
- selling that would detect any police in a 2~3 mile range. It
- worked on the simple priciple that the highway patrol folks had
- a radio transmiter in their cars that they left on most~all the
- time. I don't recall why the X-mit device existed or why it was left
- on, but that's not really important. What is important is, does
- anyone know if & where you can get on of these nifty little things?
- I'm sure someone could make one (if they know the proper frequences)
- but I'm not all that into electronics (try to stay w/ Software.)
- Are they still effective or did the cops just start switching off
- the transmitter once they realized what they were doing.
-
- Anyway help would be appreciated...
