During the 2007 “Guys of Lidar” test we installed four Laser Interceptor laser jammer heads on my 45 foot long Freightliner motor home. To make matters even worse, you will notice during this video that I have a chrome grill along with a chrome mirrored finish storage area just above the cab of the truck.

Side bets were placed and the odds were all stacked up against my rig and the Laser Interceptor being able to have any effect at jamming.

In the first run we were targeted with the LTI UltraLyte 125 PPS laser gun.

Then on the second run we were targeted with the Pro Laser II laser gun

Then on the third run we were targeted with the Speed Laser gun.

All runs were jam to gun!

It was only during the last run where the “Guys of Lidar” pulled out all the stops and shot my rig with all three guns at the same time!

This was the only run where they were able to clock the speed of my rig as I was less than 500 feet of their location.

As I’m an “iron butt” rider, my Screamin Eagle Ultra Classic is outfitted with the very best in speed countermeasure equipment and I have it outfitted with an Escort 8500 X50, the HARD system and a chrome handle bar mount along with the Blinder M-27 laser jamming system.

My $900.00 dollar plus investment in outfitting my bike maybe a little out of reach for the weekend warrior’s who just want a good radar detector to give them the edge, so last week I installed the new Adaptive Technologies TPX motorcycle radar detector on Margie’s Sportster and we gave it a good workout these last few days.

The TPX system is the only radar detector that is currently designed and marketed for use on motorcycles.

There are several different types of mounts that are available from Adaptiv for use on your bike, the unit is water resistant so you don’t have to take your detector off when it rains, handles shock and vibration very well and has oversized buttons so you can operate the radar detector while riding.

It also has an external LED display that you can mount to your windshield or handle bar that will light up when the detector is activated or an external wireless speaker that you can mount inside your helmet.

During our test the last few days we found that the TPX was on par in performance as the higher end radar detectors from Whistler in that it gave us ample warning of police radar along our journey.

However, what I feel what makes the TPX Motorcycle Radar Detector System attractive to those of us who like to ride the open highway on our bikes is the price!

The TPX retails for $309.95 and you can accessorize the detector for your bike with the mount that will cost an additional $69.99, the visual alert $49.99 and/or the wireless headset for $70.00.

As the QI45 is built on the Escort 8500 X50 platform we found the QI45’s overall performance to be equal to the performance and filtering capabilities of the 8500 and the Bel RX65.

As this was my wife’s car one concern that she expressed when I told her that I would be replacing her dash mounted Escort was to make sure that this detector didn’t have a lot of “chatter” otherwise she wouldn’t use it.

After a couple days driving with the QI45 she told me that the detector had already saved her from one ticket and that she liked the fact that the display module was mounted in a location that was easily accessible to her, so when it did alert, she could easily press the mute button.

We also installed the optional Shifter Pack, which provided us with frontal laser jamming capabilities.

The following is my video review of the QI 45 with the optional Shifter Pack:

In my final review of the QI45 radar detector I rate the unit with my highest rating, Five Badges!

If you’re in the market for a remote mounted radar detector and laser jammer that is easy to install and will not break your bank account, then the QI45 would be a top pick!

Typical installs can take me a couple hours and more complex installs can even take days. So when I heard about the Escort Radar’s claim that the typical install for the QI45 was under 45 minutes, I was a little skeptical.

QI45’s name represents Escort’s commitment to develop a radar detector that any automotive buff could install in under 45 minutes. I.e.; Quick Install 45.

During our installation we also installed Escort’s Shifter Pack during this same install.

Prior to our install we read the user manual and install manual for both units in full and laid out our plans.

We chose to us an “Add a Circuit” to the positive wiring harness so we could plug into an accessory socket in our fuse box. We chose the radio accessory as the detector would activate when we started the car and then turn off when we removed the key.

We then removed the lower portion of our Toyota’s dashboard and installed the controller module by zip tying it to a bracket under the dash.

The front of the antenna of the QI45 has laser diodes for laser detection. Therefore the front of the radar antenna should not be blocked by the grill or any other object. We chose a location in the lower drivers side grill area.

We choose the upper bumper area of our Toyota to mount the two Shifter heads. As we didn’t want to drill into the bumper or grill, we selected 3M double sided automotive tape to secure both the radar antenna and both Shifter heads.

To the rear of the QI45’s antenna, there are two jacks to plug in the Shifter heads.  This is a great feature as typically the cabling for the laser jammer s must be run through the firewall along with the radar detector cable.

Care must be taken to align the plugs to the antenna by aligning two white dots. If this is reversed you could damage your system.

A little tip; tape over the head of the RJ45 plug prior to pushing it through the firewall, this will help protect the little plastic tab on the jack.

Next we installed the display module on the lower right portion of the dashboard.

We then plugged the three RJ45 cables into the controller, screwed down our ground and turned the key.

Within moments the QI45 came to life.

We screwed on the lower portion of the dash, made last minute adjustments to the laser shifter heads and closed the hood. Total time for install, 54 minutes!

The installation of the QI45 easiest remote radar detector install that I’ve ever made and I’m certain that anyone with basic automotive repair skills can do a similar install in under an hour.

During this year’s CES show I had an opportunity to play with the Pocket Radar and to interview Chris Stewart, The COO of the company.

Look for the Pocket Radar on RadarBusters.com this spring were it will retail for around $249.95

Another plus is that Las Vegas is only an hour and a half flight in my Cessna 182 from our home in Arizona. So on Tuesday, opening day, my wife and I jumped into our bird and headed out.

We lifted off at 7:30 am and with the one hour time change landed at the Henderson Executive Airport at 8:00 am. We tied down the plane, got a rental car and I was at the Las Vegas Convention Center just before the nine o’clock opening.

Blinder Laser Jammers

Outside the convention center I met with Leon Gruner and his wife Bonnie of Blinder USA. Blinder manufactures a device designed to jam police laser.
For those of you not familiar with police laser enforcement let me explain the technology.

Police laser is a very narrow beam of light that of course travels at the speed of light, it is INSTANT!

At 500 feet the beams width is only 18” and when police shoot your car with laser, they normally aim for a reflective area of your car like your front license plate or your headlights.

So if you only have a radar detector mounted on your dash, chances are that your detector will never activate unless it picks up “scatter” and if it does, it’s too late, the officer already has your speed.

I explain laser jamming this way, “Let’s say someone shoots your car with a 5 watt flashlight, you respond by shinning a 50 watt flashlight at them, your flashlight is more powerful and would over power the other flashlight if it had a receiver to calculate speed”

Earlier this year Blinder released their new laser jammers the M-27 and M-47. Modifications included using brighter LED lights and also an interface where you can download the latest software for any new laser guns.

Coyote Interactive Photo Enforcement Detector

A comment I heard at the SEMA show this year was that new photo enforcement cameras are spreading faster than the H1N1 virus, as many cities and states have found a quick way a new to generate money without increasing taxes.

Several years ago the stand alone GPS photo enforcement camera devices hit the market place and then two years ago radar detector manufactures included this technology into their radar detectors. These devices would warn you as you approached a fixed photo enforcement camera such as photo radar or red light cameras with an audible and visual alert.

The one major drawback with these devices was the mobile photo radar vans that are moved, sometimes on a daily or even hourly basis.

Trapster then emerged on the scene, building a social network of users that would notify each other via their iPhone or Blackberry of photo enforcement locations or other high enforcement locations.

Coyote is NOW coming on the scene, merging these two technologies into one device, an interactive GPS photo enforcement detector. Coyote’s system is due to launch February of 2010.

Escort Redline Radar Detector

This summer I had the opportunity to take the Redline for a 8,000 mile cross country review testing the unit against the New Jersey X band radar guns, to Sturgis South Dakota mounted on my “Stealth Hog” Harley Davidson motorcycle, and in my RV across the southwest.

The Redline was developed to take over the long range category that has been dominated by Valentine One.

During a Speed Measurement Laboratories long range test that was held this past summer the Redline outperformed every radar detector in this class.

The one thing I liked about the Redline was the units ability to sniff out the mobile Redflex Ka band mobile photo radar vans that have overtaken Arizona and a few other states.

Passport SC55 GPS Photo Enforcement Detector

Do you have a Valentine One, Escort 8500, Whistler Pro 78 or any other radar detector that you would want to integrate a GPS photo enforcement database into? If so the new Passport SC55 will allow just that.

Designed to integrate into virtually any radar detector on the market today, you simply plug the two units into each other, turning your Escort 8500 X50 into an Escort 9500i or your RX65 into a GX65.

You instantly give your detector a brain so it can now alert to these deadly photo radar and red light cameras.

Passport QI45 Remote Mounted Radar Detector

The Escort Passport QI 45 is a new remote mounted radar detector based upon the design of the Escort 8500 X50.

Unlike more complex remote mounted radar detectors, the QI45 is very simple in its design in that it only has three modules, the antenna that is mounted in the grill, the controller that is mounted under the dash and the display that mounts on the dash.

There is only one wire that you need to feed through the firewall and install can take as little as 30 to 45 minutes!

If you want to install their laser jammer; no problem, the laser heads plug into the rear of the antenna and each head could be installed in under 5 minutes.

As a motorcyclist, I thought of how simple this set up could be to set up a remote mounted radar detector and laser jammer to your motorcycle.

Rocky Mountain Radar

What would a SEMA show be without me poking a little fun at Rocky Mountain Radar?

Well after being successful at getting Michael Churchman kicked out of Best Buy I made a promise to myself that I would lay low.

When I arrived at the SEMA show I was approached by several of the other manufacture reps that Michael Churchman was present at this year’s show and that he was asking if I was going to show up.

Mike had missed the last two years at both SEMA and CES after I sat down with him at a bar at the Stratosphere three years ago and he made the comment that he didn’t care if his C-450 radar jammer worked or not and that he didn’t have the balls enough to take me up on my $50,000 challenge.

So this year I had only planned to take a quick peek at what new devices RMR was scamming the uninformed corporate buyers with and then follow-up with our online campaign to educate these potential new clients.

I noticed that the RMR booth was still missing the Plexiglas display with the police radar gun and the little car with their radar scrambler attached. This had gone missing after I approached Rual, their head engineer, a few years back with cash in hand in challenging them to my test with TV cameras from the UPN network rolling.

During their segment, they proved that Michael’s little display was misleading and potentially defrauding the public as the Plexiglas display did not allow anyone to move the scrambler more than a few inches from the feed horn of the radar gun. In other words the RMR radar jammers would not work against any police radar gun, unless the officer was literally sitting on the hood of your car, with the feed horn of the radar gun against your windshield and the detector within two to three inches from the gun.

With our economy appearing to being on track to recovery, I was pleased to see at this year’s SEMA show that the Speed Counter measurement Industry was strong and developing new products.

Flight Home

Margie and I spent the night catching “Jersey Boys” and flew out the following morning.

A cold front came beat us to our airpark with winds gusting to 25 knots, so we had to divert to Wickenburg Airport (E25) and called a friend to pick us up.

A few hours later I returned when the winds calmed down and flew our bird back to its nest here at our home:

A few days ago a user named Carlos found my warning after purchasing two defective radar detectors from Overstock; here is his story along with a chat transcript he had with Overstock.com’s sales team:

Carlo’s  Account on How He Got Screwed By Overstock.com!

I purchased a Escort 8500 X50 w/ the blue display in 5/08 for $277.40.  I couldn’t purchase the extended warranty because I was unaware that overstock.com was on the unauthorized reseller list.  Had I known that I would probably not have purchased it and it was my fault for not researching more.

I went to radarbusters.com several times to look at Radar Roy’s  reviews on radar detectors but was only researching which radar detector would be best for me and the best bang for the buck.  So I the radar detector worked fine for a while.  Then I started getting the infamous “service required” on my radar. Sometimes it would give the error repeatedly on my 45 minute commute to work.  Sometimes it would never error.

I lived with it for a while but finally decided to call Escort to see about getting it fixed.  They told me I would have to pay $60 for repair since I didn’t purchase from one of their authorized sellers.  I never sent it in and low and behold my radar fails me and I get a speeding ticket.  The radar was on but failed to alarm.

I reset the radar as soon as the cop kindly gave me $115 speeding ticket and it alarmed immediately.  So now the radar has cost me $277.40 + $115 = $392.40.  I decide to purchase a new radar.  And again make the mistake of buying from Overstock.

I guess the good prices makes me stupid.  Fool me once shame on you.  Fool me twice shame on me!!  I purchased a Bel Pro RX65 $227.94 on 5/09!!  Great price right?  Poor product!  Horrible detection range for one of what you consider the best on the market. The alarm ramp level was horrible.  Would go from a weak signal to a very strong signal.  Nowhere in between!!  Would even stay alarming way after I would pass a cop!  I sent this one in for repair and it is somewhat better but not what I expected.  So this one cost me $227.90 + $60 repair = $287.60.  That’s a total of $680 for both.  I just did a quote on the radarbusters.com website for both the Escort and Bel radars and got a grand total of $624.94 shipped!!  I have lived and now have learned.  I will never purchase from an unauthorized reseller again.

I just recently had my girl friend purchase a Bel 955 from Radarbusters.  I told her cheaper isn’t always better from Overstock.  Anyways that’s my story.

I contacted Overstock through an online help chat and this is what they had to say.  I have edited some of my personal information but feel free to share this.  I hope some of what I typed on the chat doesn’t seem childish to you but I really wanted to nag and give this rep hell!!  Please respond and let me know what you think.

Chat Information Welcome to Overstock.com Customer Service, you are now chatting with Junior.

Overstock,com:  Thanks for visiting Overstock.com, this is Junior, how can I help you?

Customer: Hello

Customer:  I have purchased two radar detectors over the past two years and recently read an article that units purchased from Over-Stock are re-manufactured units. Is this true?

Overstock.com:  I would be glad to help you with the information which you are looking for.

Customer:  thank you

Overstock.com: That’s not true.

Customer:  Why are Escort Radar and Beltronic Radar detectors on the un-authorized resellers list on both of their websites?

Customer:  Buying from Overstock.com voids the one year warranty that should come with a brand new radar detector.

Overstock.com: We have some items which is stated as ‘Refurbished or Reconditioned Products’.

Overstock.com: We note these products on our site with an icon and the words Refurbished or Reconditioned.

Customer:  I understand that

Overstock.com: Customers return products for many reasons.

Overstock.com: A customer may change his or her mind, not like the product, or have difficulty operating it. Whether it is returned a month later or only the very next day, such an item must be identified as refurbished or reconditioned to be resold.

Overstock.com: Every product targeted for refurbishing or reconditioning must pass a thorough examination.

Overstock.com: After repairing any defect and sanitizing when necessary, the product is repackaged either by the original manufacturer or a reputable professional outside firm may perform the refurbishing, or reconditioning, returning the products to like-new or almost new condition.

Overstock.com:  So if it’s not refurbished why is this important?

Customer: Is It Worth It? BUYER BEWARE! Please be aware of the following risks if you purchase Escort products from an unauthorized reseller: Possible exclusion of Escort warranty due to: * Purchase of stolen merchandise * Inability to validate the original purchase date and ownership with the original sales receipt AND the transfer of ownership with any subsequent bill of sale * Item shipped to you may be counterfeit, forged, or refurbished goods * Item may ship with serial numbers removed or modified * Item may appear new but contain internal water damage or damage from improper use * Item may never ship – contact with the seller may be difficult or impossible * Price may be inflated, incorrect, or changed after you place your order * Inferior product may be substituted for the advertised Escort product

Overstock.com: Would you mind holding for 2-5 minutes while I check on this for you?

Customer: no problem.. I appreciate your help

Overstock.com: Thanks for staying online.

Overstock.com: I apologize for the delay.

Customer:  no problem

Overstock.com: Do you still have the order number?

Customer:  yes let me get it for you

Customer:  ########

Customer: and

Customer: ########

Overstock.com:  Thanks let me check it one by one.

Customer: sounds good

Overstock.com: For security purposes, can you please verify your complete name and the billing address on the account?

Customer:  #############

Customer:  #############

Overstock.com:  Is the order number ######## regarding ‘Escort Passport 8500 X50 Blue Radar Detector’?

Customer:  that’s it

Overstock.com:  I see that ‘Escort Passport 8500 X50 Blue Radar Detector’ is a brand new.

Overstock.com:  Not a refurbished one.

Customer:  The only reason I am asking is because I feel that the two radars I have bought have been unsatisfactory for the amount of $ spent on a piece of equipment that is manufactured from reputable manufacturers. And after doing some research it seems that these are refurbished items and their performance is consistent with this

Customer:  You webpage should state that you are an unauthorized reseller and that the 1 year mfg warranty is void.

Overstock.com:  Carlos, I have checked and I see that the item is not a refurbished one.

Customer: Can you please explain why you are on the unauthorized reseller list then?

Employee admitting that the Escort and Beltronics radar detectors that they sold were NOT NEW UNITS and only had a 30 day warranty and that if the customer purchased their “Planinum Protection Plan” for their one year warranty, their total price was $10.00 more for a used unit, then a new factory unit with the same warranty from an authorized dealer!

Overstock.com:  We note refurbished items on our site with an icon and the words Refurbished or Reconditioned.

Customer:  I understand that. I see that ICON on most of your Apple products. So I am aware of the ICON

Customer:  I just feel it is unfair to purchase a NEW item and that the mfg 1 yr warranty is void since overstock is an authorized reseller

Customer:  It’s like you going to buy a new car.. Drive it off the lot and break and the dealership tell you.. Sorry your warranty is void.. You didn’t ask so we didn’t tell you.

Customer:  Dimensions: 2.8 in. W x 1.2 in. H x 5.3 in. D Warranty: 30 Day – Overstock

Customer:  come on

Overstock.com: Carlos, I understand your point here. However, as per the information I see the unit that you have ordered is a new one and not refurbished. We deal in liquidation business due to this nature of business we are not considered as authorized dealers by the manufacturer. Hence most warranties offered by the manufacturer would not be valid. That is the reason why we offer warranty from our side and when available customers can purchase additional warranty as well.

Overstock.com: I’m sorry if this was missed while placing the order.

Overstock.com: Please let me know if you have any other questions for me?

Customer:  Don’t you think voiding the mfg warranty information on the purchasing page would be beneficial to the consumer?

Overstock.com:  Yes, I agree on that. That’s the reason why we list the warranty that is offered on an item on the product description page.

Customer:  you also list the mfg website which says their radars are backed by a one year waranty

Overstock.com:  It’s just for customer’s information. I’m sorry if that mislead. The warranty that would be honored would be the one listed on on our site.

Overstock.com: Do you have any other questions for me?

Customer:  Since you have agreed that the information can be and is misleading what is the possibility of at least returning my most recent purchase for a full refund

Overstock.com:  We would be unable to accept the return for a full refund as it is past the return time frame. You can return it for a partial refund. The refund amount would be decided by the certified technicians at the warehouse once the inspection is done.

Overstock.com:  Shall I proceed with the return on the latest order?

Customer:  I would like this to go through a manager for a full refund since your website is misleading and you have acknowledged that

Overstock.com:  I’m sorry; I did not acknowledge that the information provided was misleading.

Overstock.com:  Let me check on the refund again.

Customer:  thank you

Customer:  I am trying to be reasonable

Customer:  Asking for a refund on the least expensive and most recent

Overstock.com:  Thank you for holding.

Overstock.com:  I have checked on the refund and see that the order # ####### was placed on 05-30-2009. We would be unable to accept the return for a full refund on this due to the reason that it is way past the return timeframe.

Customer:  have you addressed this with a manager

Overstock.com:  Yes, I have check on this with my supervisor. If you wish to keep the item we can help you with a $25 credit either as in-store or back to your card.

Overstock.com: This is the best we can offer at the moment. Else, you can return the item for a refund.

Customer:  $50?

Overstock.com:  I’ll remain available for another minute or two if you need further assistance.

Customer:  full refund?

Overstock.com:  We have two options for you.

Customer:  I’ll do the return for a full refund as you mentioned

Overstock.com:  I’m sorry, I never informed about a full refund anywhere. I was referring to a partial refund only.

Customer:  I’m trying to work with you

Customer:  ok

Customer:  how about a $50 refund. That’s $25 x 2 for the two purchases. I’ll agree to that

Overstock.com:  I’m sorry $40 is the maximum we can issue.

Overstock.com:  The other order is almost a year old.

Customer:  yup

Customer:  that’s the yr I lost on the voided warranty..

Customer:  for repair it is $60

Customer:  x2

Customer:  =$120

Customer:  giving me 1/3 of what you took away

Overstock.com: Okay, I’ll go ahead and issue $50 credit on the order # #######.

Overstock.com:  Yes, I’ll help you with the reference number for this chat.

Customer:  ok

Overstock.com:  Here is the reference # ####-#####.

Overstock.com:  You can use the same if you have any questions related to the credit.

Customer: ok

Customer:  thank you for your patience

Overstock.com: Just so you know that we would be unable to accept the return on the radars once the credit is issued.

Overstock.com:  You’re welcome.

Overstock.com:  Do you have any other questions for me?

Customer:  I thought you said the radar was way past the reurn date?

Overstock.com:  Yes, that’s right.

Customer:  You just said once the refund is credited I couldn’t return it

Overstock.com:  I’m sorry, I meant to say that it cannot be returned for a partial refund as well.

Overstock.com:  Is there anything else I can help you with?

Customer:  ok

Customer:  that’s it thanks

Overstock.com:  Thanks for visiting Overstock.com. Your feedback is important.

I first want to thank all of the users of RadarDetector.net and my followers on Twitter, FaceBook, and RadarRoy.com who joined me in my crusaded in boycotting Best Buy and for writing and emailing letters to the Best Buy management team, to the Federal Communications Commission, to the Federal Trade Commission and to other government agencies.

Chalk one up for the Good Guys!

Now I’m off to Best Buy to buy some stuff!

When I first spoke with “The Doc” I was skeptical that a device such as this would work because of my experience with the ill fated VF-2 that was sold a few years back. For those not familiar with the VF-2 it was a device similar to what I was being asked to test by “The Doc” in that that it would sense the flash from a photo enforcement camera and it would flash its strobe onto the pate, washing out the image.

The problem with the VF-2 is that it didn’t work, at least not on the photo enforcement cameras in the Phoenix metro area. And to make matters worse the unit had electrical issues where users reported damage to their cars.

But I figured what the heck, I’ll give him a shot and I’m glad that I did.

When I first “The Doc” (who will remain anonymous) at his office he explained that he had experience with professional photography and one day after receiving a photo radar citation a couple years back decided to fight back.

We then walked out to his Escalade pointing out his Escort 9500ci and his back up radar detector mounted on the visor a Valentine One.

Then he pointed out his secret weapon attached to his rear plate, the flash back device he had been working on for the last two years.

He explained that this has been his passion building it from scratch. He had tested various flash sensors, filtering devices and strobes and now was confident that his unit was 100% effective at defeating fixed photo enforcement cameras and 50% effective at defeating the mobile photo radar vans.

We then jumped into his SUV and headed out onto the 101 Loop and I-17 where he demonstrated his device first hand setting off various photo enforcement cameras along our way.

During our trek in the photo enforcement capitol of the US, Phoenix Arizona, “The Doc” explained that his device has been tested on numerous vehicles against all the photo enforcement devices in the area which included red light cameras, photo radar and fixed speed enforcement cameras and will be developing his final prototype within the coming months.

I look forward in testing the final prototype and wish him success in his dream in bringing this unit to the market place.

On July 31, 2009 I received my first response regarding my complaint that I had forward to the Federal Communication Commision regarding Best Buy marketing and selling illegal radar jammers/scramblers on their website from United States Senator John McCain in where he thanked me for brining this violation to his attention.

Then today I received a letter from Jamie L. Friede a Customer Relations Specialist from Best Buy.

Mr. Freide writes “As I’m sure that you understand, radar detectors are not illegal in all states that while we most certainly respect your position as well as your cause, we will be able to sell these items legally on BestBuy.com to customers”

I assume from Mr. Freide’s response that he didn’t take the time to read that my concern as it was not that BestBuy.com was selling radar detectors, but devices manufactured by Rocky Mountain Radar and marketed as radar scramblers.

The Federal Communications Act of 1934 as amended makes it illegal to market/sell/advertise devices to jam police radar and other RF devices.

Infact, the FCC had cited numerous other retailers for selling the exact same items.

In response, I wrote the following letter in which I outline

1. I agreed that radar detectors are not illegal in all fifty states; however the item(s) that he is selling on his BestBuy.com website is advertised as “Radar Scramblers” which IS illegal in all fifty states!
2. Other retailers who have sold and/or marketed these devices have been cited by the Federal Communications Commission for selling these identical products under Section 503(b)(5) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C 503(b)(5) the marketing in the United States certain police radar jamming devices which include;Buy.com, RadarJammers.com, the Twister Group, Hoeffener International, Hilton AG, LTD, Global Trade Group LTD and Electronic Retail Solutions.
3. That El Paso Better Business Bureau lists an unsatisfactory record against Rocky Mountain Radar based upon a total of 21 complaints filed during a 36 month period.
4. The slews of complaints filed against Rocky Mountain Radar and President Michael Churchman with the US Federal Trade Commission, several of which address the deceptive advertising Rocky Mountain Radar uses.
5. The numerous television news reports about Rocky Mountain Radar’s deceptive advertising practices that have aired on ABC’s 20/20, CBS Good Morning, Extra, WREG-TV, KWWL-TV and the UPN Network.
6. That I personally offer a $50,000.00 reward to ANYONE that can show me a product from Rocky Mountain Radar that works as they advertise in jamming/scrambling radar.

And that;

• Marketing/selling the RMR-C435 and RMR- C450 on their web site, listed as a “fully integrated scrambler” Best Buy is in violation of 47 U.S.C. 302(b) and SS 333 as your company is marketing for sale the use of RF devices designed to intentionally jam and/or interfere with licensed radio services or other RF devices, specifically law enforcement radar equipment.
• And by continuing to market the RMR-C450 and RMR-C435 Best Buy has certainly lowered its concern for its customers by partnering with a company with such a mired reputation.

My family and I are continuing our boycotting of their stores and we asking for your help!
