A reasonably reputable source told me the other day that some company
is selling a device that will BROADCAST whatever speed you want the
ossifer's radar to read out, into his/her/its radar unit.  Supposedly
they have ads in some motorhead magazines, with a disclaimer saying,
Not Legal In The U.S., etc.  Has anybody actually seen such an ad? or
better yet, such a unit?

I know there's a company in my area advertising PLANS for such a unit -
in fact, I bootlegged a copy of them the other day and they look Feasible.
LOOK feasible.  They (plans) are essentially for a radar transmitter which
will befoozle a radar into reading out a lower speed.  Included is a little
section on an Escort interface option which enables you to use your Escort
to trigger the transmitter, and voids the hell out of your warranty, no
doubt.

Oh yeah - and this unit is supposed to have a Knob and Readout so you can
dial in exactly the speed you want the piggie radar to read out!

I find it difficult to believe that radar units have such similarity in
their detection/measurement technique that a single unit could uniformly
confusify  ALL of them.  Furtherless, doing it on both X and K band is
a feat worth of God.

?

Oh yeah - you dead people in the fast lane -  I'm not going to bother
with any stupid circus searchlight, slime bucket.  I'm going to mount
a 2000 watt CO2 laser up front someplace and burn a ring around your tire.
That ought to wake you up out of your Quaaaaalude stupor.

(Note - as a charitable gesture, I'll burn the Marriage Encounter sticker
off the back window of your Wabbit first, for a warning shot.)
