The ongoing battle between speeding drivers and traffic law enforcement has introduced a new contender: the radar scrambler. With a price tag of less than $100, Americans can easily acquire this device. For $199.95, a more advanced model is available, capable of jamming both police liDAR and older RF radars. These scramblers outperform conventional radar detectors by emitting signals that perplex police radar systems, rendering it impossible to precisely determine a driver's speed.
The use of radar detectors is prohibited in the UK, along with several other European countries, and some US states. According to Mike Churchman, the founder of Rocky Mountain Radar in Littleton, Colo., scramblers are not subject to the same regulations as radar detectors. This is because scramblers do not detect radar signals; instead, they utilize a high-gain antenna to reflect incoming signals back to the radar gun, while simultaneously emitting another radio signal to confuse the receiver.
