How to make your car invisible to radar and laser!
Rocky Mountain Radar introduces a device designed to make your car electronically unreadable--if you get a ticket while using the product, the manufacturer will pay your fine!*



Today, Rocky Mountain Radar offers drivers a perfect solution to speed traps--the Phazer. It uses a passive radar scrambler to make your automobile electronically "invisible" to police speed-detecting equipment. The radar component works by mixing an X, K or Ka radar signal with an FM "chirp" and bouncing it back at the squad car by way of a waveguide antenna, effectively confusing the computer inside the radar gun.

Perfectly legal in most states. Some radar devices have been outlawed because they transmit scrambling radar beams back to the waiting law enforcement vehicle. The Phazer, however, reflects a portion of the signal plus an added FM signal back to the police car. This, in effect, confusing the waiting radar unit. Best of all, unless you are a resident of California, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Virginia, Utah, Washington or Washington D.C., using the Phazer is completely within your legal rights.

How it scrambles radar. Police radar takes five to 10 measurements of a vehicle's speed in about one second. The Phazer sends one signal that tells the radar the car is going 15 m.p.h. and another signal that the car is going 312 m.p.h. Because police radar can't verify the speed, it displays no speed at all. To the radar gun, your car isn't even on the road. The Phazer begins to scramble radar signals as far as three miles away from the speed trap. Its range of effectiveness extends to almost 200 feet away from the police car, at which point you should be able to make visual contact and reduce your speed accordingly. Works with laser, too! The Phazer uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to fire invisible infrared pulses through the windshield. Laser guns interpret those pulses as a false indication of the car's distance, blocking measurement of your speed.

*Ticket rebate program. If you do get a speeding ticket within the first year while using your Phazer, they will pay your fine! While the Phazer is designed to help you avoid speed traps, it is not intended to condone excessive speeding. *For that reason, the manufacturer will only pay tickets where the speed limit was not exceeded by more than 30%, or 15 miles per hour, whichever is less.

Default Didn't that company go out of business...something about the FCC regulation regarding transmitter

power at that frequency, and I *think* they have a related regulation about using stuff like that for committing crimes, ie speeding.

Help me out here people.
