- Radar Jammers
- ----- -------
- As many people know, there has been a lot of information on how to build a
- police radar jammer in recent times. The writers fail to point out how to
- properly use one of these devices and the possible side effects of using it
- incorrectly.
-
-
- Gun Diodes
- --- ------
- Gun diodes are neat little semiconductors that can give off micro-waves
- suitable for radar jamming. However, most electronic stores are aware of this
- and of the phew that you might find that sell them most owners will go through
- them before selling them so they can pick the best ones for themselves. A major
- flaw in most gun diodes that you can buy is power capabilities. If it can't
- provide at least 5 watts it won't serve your purpose. So shop carefully and
- take along some sort of test equipment. (This may be hard but if at all
- possible find some to use.)
-
-
- The Design
- --- ------
- I don't actually have a design for a radar jammer, but there are almost always
- designs for sale in the back of "Radio Electronics." They will cost about 10
- bucks but the calculations that you would have to do without them would be a
- considerable task. Its money well invested. Be sure to find one that you can
- select the speed that the cop will read, and can be hooked up to a radar
- detector.
-
-
-
- Using The Jammer
- ----- --- ------
- Ok, now assuming that you have built the jammer correctly, you can \nstall it.
- Your first thought might be to just leave it on all the time. BAD idea, because
- as soon as you pass the cop his radar will "unjam" and he will know which car
- was jamming him. You need to hook up the jammer to turn on when your radar
- detector goes off. When you see that your detector has gone off, slow down!
- When you reach the legal speed limit turn off your detector (which should also
- turn off the jammer.) and drive on by.
-
-
-
- Setting The Speed
- ------- --- -----
- Before you hit the road you have to know one more tid-bit of information. Set
- the speed that your jammer will send, to about 250 mph. This might sound dumb,
- but police radars can only record speeds upto 199 mph. (Their display is only 2
- 1/2 digits.) When the radar tries to read that high of speed it blanks out. At
- first the cop will double check everything to make sure that he's using the gun
- right. (That'll give you about 15-20 seconds.) Then he'll try again. And
- again. It might take him upto 2 minutes to even try and guess what pened but by
- that time you've slowed down to the speed limit and shut off the jammer. And
- all looks well on the radar.
-
-
- Why Not 55?
- --- --- ---
- Why shouldn't you just set the speed to 55 mph? Well you have to remember
- that the cop sent out a signal too. And if the two signals mix right it might
- send back a speed greater than the one that you are moving at, and the trouble
- begins.
-
-
- Trouble?
- --------
- If you get stopped and the cop takes your jammer, don't tell him that its
- illegal for him to have it in his possesion. (He knows that its illegal for you
- to have it.) But it is illegal for ANYONE to have it. There is no license that
- will let anyone own some- thing of that type. If you tell him though he'll have
- to call the FCC and have them pick it up. (They make the rules, They can break
- them.) Then you've had it. The FCC takes a very dim view of brodcasting your
- own microwaves. And you can end up doing some serious time for it. The cop
- might just give you the ticket. (And be thankful for just that.)
-
-
- One more thing: Use as good of a radar detector as you can afford. If it
- can't "see" the police radar, you'll never get to jam it.
