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.
