There's a bit more to these devices than I clearly know. I've never relied on them- I've heard that the police around here have equipment to outsmart even the best radar detector. Again, there was a whole thread about it on the local forum. Guys said they were basically ok 90-95% of the time, but not always.
Yeah, good luck escaping a lidar without a jammer though. Lock is fucking instant.

lol yes, the blind spot detectors sometimes trigger a false positive on the RDs. It's going to get more annoying in the future but for now I hear it's pretty manageable.

Negative.. all frequency bands are tightly regulated. Any ACC system has to comply with the band restrictions. Most ACC systems use W band (77 GHz), which is outside of K/Ka and X bands (8 ~ 40 GHz). Some car systems use laser, which could give a false alert, but it would have to be a large aperture beam facing the front of the detector to set it off. These systems are usually short beam facing the front of the car (rear of detector).

Not for current job since all guys and field work. When we have office meetings with the chickadeez or I'm going out on a date or something, I do.

our smart meter runs on 900...when we first installed, it had issues with interference with some garage door openers and baby monitors.

The more you know

Which is why I have "vintage" cologne, all the way back to the first bottle of IRON I got for Christmas back in like 1990.

I mainly rely on my natural aroma, vodka and scotch, to do the job!

Yeah I only wear cutoff denim shorts and late '80s heavy metal shirts with the sleeves cut off so people know I'm the boss. Speak with a British Cockney accent though so they're never really sure.

aaaaand same. No baggy clothes here either, although often more casual fitted designer jeans and tees/polos.

It's obviously a joke, Franch isn't :ghey: for moisturizing. Only for other reasons.
