Tru, but a jammer is pretty sketchy. The best way is abstinence! Dont speed like a moron! Ive never really relied on the detector as much as myself. If I know im going to be speeding on the hwy, i keep a good eye out. granted the detector helps, but not always

I have a Cobra 12 Band with 360• Laser detection and it does a fantastic job letting me know when chippies are around

so is modified exaust, lowering your car, going even 1mph above the posted speed limit, and a million other things I can pretty much win a bet that you do every day.

Jammer tech is not somthing to dabble in, if you are going to get into it, read, read, read. Understand what your getting into, how to run it in 'stealth' and how to hide the fact your using it.

but it does work rather well, not that I would know in first person

I bought a secondhand passport 8500 a few years back that's served me well but is somewhat broken, it screams laser almost every time it senses a voltage fluctuation.

I'm planning to buy a Valentine 1 for the rex, and I'd like to hard wire and mount it on the mirror since that's the best location for it anyways. Anyone know how hard this is to do? I'm sure I'll find the info around here somewhere.

you could send your passport in and they will update it and fix it. I sent mine in and they went through it, updated it, increased the memory, tested and dialed in all of the sensors, basically they made it brand new for 1/4 the price of new and it has a red screen to match the interior unlike all of the new ones that are blue. you should check out escorts website. Link to tune up
