A reasonably reputable source told me the other day that some company is selling a device that will BROADCAST whatever speed you want the ossifer's radar to read out, into his/her/its radar unit. Supposedly they have ads in some motorhead magazines, with a disclaimer saying, Not Legal In The U.S., etc. Has anybody actually seen such an ad? or better yet, such a unit? I know there's a company in my area advertising PLANS for such a unit - in fact, I bootlegged a copy of them the other day and they look Feasible. LOOK feasible. They (plans) are essentially for a radar transmitter which will befoozle a radar into reading out a lower speed. Included is a little section on an Escort interface option which enables you to use your Escort to trigger the transmitter, and voids the hell out of your warranty, no doubt. Oh yeah - and this unit is supposed to have a Knob and Readout so you can dial in exactly the speed you want the piggie radar to read out! I find it difficult to believe that radar units have such similarity in their detection/measurement technique that a single unit could uniformly confusify ALL of them. Furtherless, doing it on both X and K band is a feat worth of God. ? Oh yeah - you dead people in the fast lane - I'm not going to bother with any stupid circus searchlight, slime bucket. I'm going to mount a 2000 watt CO2 laser up front someplace and burn a ring around your tire. That ought to wake you up out of your Quaaaaalude stupor. (Note - as a charitable gesture, I'll burn the Marriage Encounter sticker off the back window of your Wabbit first, for a warning shot.)
