POP Radar Detector Test

South of the main testing location, the GoL team set up their POP radar detector test.



Both vehicles remained parked at the same location during the duration of the test.

Each radar detector was shot five times and the results were recorded.

Laser Jamming Testing

Cones were set up at the 2000', 1000', 500' and 250' on a flat surface of roadway.


Two police officers certified in laser enforcement operated the laser guns.

The approaching vehicle was driving at the maximum posted speed limit of 45 mph.

Upon registering a speed, the officer locked the laser gun recording the speed and distance.

Aim = Aiming Point on Vehicle
HL= Headlamp
PL= Center of Mass Front
#1 = Run One
#2 = Run Two
#3 = Run Three

PPS = Pulses Per Second

Numbers indicate at what distance the vehicle was when the officer was able to lock onto the speed. JTG indicates that the jammer jammed the officer’s gun throughout the test.

Jam Code = Any Error and/or Jam Code on Laser Gun

Additional Notes: We had also received a Laser Defender from the manufacturer that was to be included in this test. This unit malfunctioned and we were unable to perform the test. We are hopeful that the manufacturer will provide a replacement, and I have invited them to attend a retest at the same location.

Worst Case Scenario Laser Jammer Test

The GoL team set up what I thought would be an impossible feat: setting up the front of my Renegade motor home with four jammer heads in an attempt to jam the laser gun.

The Laser Interceptor team from Croatia provided four of their prototype class 1M active laser jammer heads for the front of my coach.

Above the main cab, the sleeper is highly polished aluminum, a perfect place to aim any laser gun and expect a hit at over 3000 feet away.

The front grill is chrome and there are two huge headlamps on each side. The GoL team installed the "prototype" and wagers were taken by participants on the punch through distance that our police officer could score a hit.

The minimum wager was 200 feet, the longest, 2500 feet.

No one expected "Jam to Gun".

“Racer X" from the GoL team jumped in as my navigator and we took off our starting point, one mile north of our test location.

As soon as we turned the 45 foot rig around and faced off with the GoL members and the officer targeting us with the deadly Stalker laser gun, the Laser Interceptor and our visor mounted Beltronics STi was alerting full tilt.

We got the rig up to speed in twelfth gear at 50 mph as we approached and then passed a cheering audience, JAM TO GUN!

This test was performed with the Laser Atlanta, LTI 125 and ProLaser III. The Coach was also shot with multiple guns simultaneously.

The Renegade Jammed to Gun on each pass until the grand finale where they used three laser guns simultaneously and a punch through at 1200 feet was recorded!

Thanks to the GoL Team!

My thanks to the "GoL Team" for their hard work and dedication during this event, even during the stressful moments.

Also, a big thank you to the various manufacturers that came out with their goodies.

They all endured three days of the hot Arizona sun, one rattle snake, my cooking, and another website competitor who visited the site, in a vain attempt to disrupt and discredit the test.

But even with these hardships they all endured and provided a top radar detector and laser jammer venue!

Thanks Guys.....
