Default Re: Funny Laser Detector Video

From what I have heard, any jammer which supports the other LTI guns will jam it with ease. It is the same gun, just in a diff package.

Companies do this all the time. It is just a new thing for the LIDAR industry... depending on how you look at it.

Reminds me of some talk on RD.net about the Laser Interceptor (LI) having trouble with off-axis shots from the TruSpeed. That is because the LI sucks against off-axis shots for any LTI gun. All you LI users out there.. try it. Go 5 to 10 degrees off and ping your center mass with an LTI 100 or 200.

I know someone in the UK who ran into this problem. Whether or not a software update resolves it, who knows but regardless that is a big miss IMHO for any jammer company to release a product that only jams at dead center shots. I recall a YouTube video of rear mounted LI heads on a Vette that had instant PT, and now I know why (tester was using a LTI 100LR).

This is why you are better off buying from a company who has been producing for awhile. You need to be sure you buy something well capitalized, where the company has sufficient time and resources for adequate testing.

All companies make mistakes and release products with problems (just look at BelScort... who is the best example), but the off-axis hole with the LI is a biggie IMO.

Besides, how many software updates do you want? My head is spinning with how many LI "software updates" I've read about. I don't care if you can update it yourself or not, that is a PITA. I don't want my control box plugged into my PC, I want it stuffed under my dashboard where it belongs.
