| This wont win me any points with fellow drivers but...... I built a small kit radar transmitter years ago, I still have it in my car. It broadcasts an Xband frequency using a toggle switch and a 9 volt battery. I sometimes use it to annoy other people on long drives. On my way to Florida from NJ it provides lots of amusement, sure keeps the trucks off your butt. Sometimes no one passes me for 20 miles...
Once I was driving from PA on RT 80 and was kind of shadowing a guy in a Saab with a Valentine One radar detector, real big arrows easy for me to see since we were side by side. I would let him getup to 80 MPH and then hit my switch, over and over. This went on for damn near the length of my trip. I needed gas and pulled off, to my surprise he followed me, he was also getting gas. As I stood there I was dying to ask him how that V1 works..... I just knew I wouldnt be able to keep a straight face so I didn't.
You never know is all im saying. I rarely use it anymore, too many close calls. Some people really over react to a radar signal.
If anyone wants info on the kit just email me, I think its around 50 bucks built, about the size of a deck of cards.
