Laser Jammer or Laser detector?
Don’t be fooled by some retailers who will claim their Radar detectors will also give you sufficient warning on handheld guns (laser). They are two different speed measuring technologies. You are probably wondering why you can buy a “Laser Jammer” when Radar detectors are called “Radar/Laser Detectors”, the reason behind is this that a Radar/Laser detector is no more than a radio receiver and light detector. Although, being able to receive a frequency that Radar is transmitting holds a very useful purpose, as radar carries well over long distances, radar speed cameras beams are also a lot wider and are usually constantly transmitted. Even when the Radar threat is not a constant signal, it is still possible to get good warning with a good radar detector. Handheld guns or Laser speed cameras use a very small laser beam, significantly smaller than a radar beam. A laser beam produced is far more focused and it doesn’t carry well over long distances. Handheld guns police use, only transmit
