Lidatek Laser Jammers:
Protect Yourself Against Speed Traps (continued) |
|
|
|
The first order of business was to determine a location in which to mount each transceiver. I opted to install them near the edges of my grille, and about halfway between the license plate and my headlights. I used the supplied metal "straps" to make a platform from which to hang the transceivers. I then ran the transceiver cables to the inside of my Tahoe by way of an open body plug in the firewall.
Once inside, I found a swtiched 12-volt power wire and a good grounding location. My LE-30 now had power, and all that was left was to mount the LED and speaker. I chose discreet locations for both, and then mounted the power switch (a toggle) under the dash board, near the emergency brake pedal. I was wired, and all set to enjoy my stealthy new Tahoe.
Out on the road, I was getting frustrated that I hadn't passed any speed traps, so after a few hours driving, I moseyed my way south on Interstate 540, and sure enough, just outside of West Fork, Arkansas, I encountered my first laser trap. The Lidatek LE-30 sounded loudly, the LED flashed and my Valentine One did nothing. As I drove closer to the laser trap, my Valentine One began to alert me to the laser signal, but I fear it would have been too late. The Lidatek LE-30 had been jamming for a good 3-4 seconds before the Valentine reacted.
I slowed my speed to 68 mph, exactly 2 mph below the posted limit. I cruised past the officer, but this time, the smile was on my face. Just past the overpass, I saw a line of troopers waiting on the on-ramp, poised to catch their prey. Just ahead, I saw four cars pulled over, and I can only assume that they were all receiving tickets.
Lidatek's LE-30 worked wonders for me, and while I don't advocate that people speed recklessly down the freeway, I do advocate for protecting yourself against shameless speed traps like the one that I encountered, where the police cherry-pick unsuspecting drivers as they traverse down a mountain hill. If you've got police with laser guns in your area, give the folks at Lidatek a call, and tell them that Roadfly sent you. Their unit truly is top-notch and effective, and delivers real world performance and results.
