Jammers don't work and you get what you pay for with detectors. There were a few detector threads in here a while back. I suggest searching for them.

RADAR Jammers don't work well, and are extremely illegal in all states.

Rocky Mountain jammers are POS. I bought an original Phazer 10yrs ago from Sharper Image. I then read negative reviews and opened it up. Inside was nothing more than a bunch of reflecting foil and a couple diode's on a board. The testing I saw then said it was completely ineffective against radar and local speed signs confirmed it.

That was in my youth when I was desperate. Uniden police scanners, Carbella stealth bras, various remote detectors & jammers, tried everything - turns out it was just my lead foot.

Probably the best thing to get are radars, Passport 8500 x50(i have it), Beltronics Highest model, and Valentine one. In high end shootout the bel came in first then passport then valentine one. It was clost between the top two. These radars are in the mid 300 to 400 dollar range. Just remember never depend on the radar and that your the only one that can prevent tickets....

Other radars in my opinion are that they suck and aren't worth it...I see it as if a 350 dollar radar is worth it if it saved me from one ticket. Insurance in the long run will cost you way more...

yeah, radar det. are best, dont waste $$$ on jammers.. My radar has saved me from man tickets, but i got lasered quickly, and i got a ticket.. It justa deterant for your constant reminder to slow down.. As said above you are the only one that can deter from getting a ticket, you just need a reminder every once in a while... But, still the radar saved me many times... Hwy driving...

I highly suggest a Valentine One. I have used the Escort 8500 X50 many times but i still like my Valentine for the fact it that it tells you which direction the signal is coming from.

Nothing by RMR or Rocky Mountain Radar will jam laser or radar and their radar detection sucks.

Here are some videos of all RMR products not jamming anything:

The Valentine One is the best radar/laser detector on the market today.

http://guysoflidar.com/shootout05/radartesting.html

http://guysoflidar.com/shootout05/pop.html

http://guysoflidar.com/shootout05/spectre.html

http://motortrend.com/features/consu...r_buyersguide/

"This year, the measurement of the radar and laser detection abilities of each of the over $200 units gives the Valentine One ($400) a small edge over the competing BEL Vector 995 ($260) and Escort Passport 8500 X50 ($300 with red display or $340 with a blue display) units."

V1 is the best in laser detection:

http://www.laserveil.com/laser-detec...adar-detector/

http://www.laserveil.com/laser-detec...ice-laser-gun/

V1 has the best rear radar detection because it is the only detector with 2 antennas to locate radar:

http://www.radardetector.net/viewtop...214&highlight=

V1 is the least detectable detector by RDD's or Radar Detector Detectors in states where radar detectors are illegal. The Spectre III is the most used RDD in the world and it can only pick up the Valentine One if it is 166 feet or closer which is better than the X50 which can be detected 954 feet away.

http://www.radardetector.net/viewtop...383&highlight=

The Valentine One which accounts for only .6% of radar detector sales wins every poll when it comes to being the favorite detector. The X50 doesn't even get an approval rating as high as George Bush's worst rating.

Which of the "Big 3" is really the best overall - in your opinion?
V-1
64% [ 45 ]

RX-65
12% [ 9 ]

X50
20% [ 14 ]

Other (state which and why)
2% [ 2 ]

Radar Roy from Radarbusters.com said this about the Valentine One, "Just spoke with Carl Fors from SML, his website will be going online tonight with the 2005 results. He has declared the V895, 8500 and the Valentine One as the top performers. Motortrend, who was also at the test, will be declaring the Valentine One as the top detector based upon its detection of laser.

http://www.radardetector.net/viewtop...=4696&start=90

Radar Roy said, "There were results that they (Guys of Lidar) got during the test that I was not exactly pleased with, such as the discovery of the Blinder not having Stealth Mode installed and the Valentine beating out the Escort and Bel in the range tests. Even though I don’t sell the Valentine, it does have slightly better range than both the RX65 and the 8500 and I also show this same fact on my site. Would love it to be the other way around."

Here is a link and video of the V1 alerting to radar quicker than the X50 and sometimes the X50 didn't alert to the radar at all. They are quick pulling the radar gun's trigger and the X50 is filtering it out and the V1 is picking it up every time.

V1 wins in POP detection:

http://media.putfile.com/JammerTestscom_tests_V1X50_POP

V1 wins because it detects a certain laser gun in stealth mode while the X50 remains silent:
