Q : What is the range of these jammers?
A : On the radar side, you are good 2 to 3 miles depending on the terrain. on the laser side, by federal law they have to hit you within 2,000 feet and no more than 20 degrees off bore center (basically a 40 degree angle cone) and we cover up to a 35 degree angle off bore center (a 70 degree cone).

Q : Do they cover you 360 degrees , front and rear?
A : No, they are directional and cover 180 degrees out in front of you. (except black widow)

Q : Can the police get you from the sides?
A : No, they can't get a doppler shift from the sides. just the front or rear or an angle there of.

Q : Do i need one for the front and rear?
A : I don't recommend it. 95% of your hits are from the front and i would just take your chances from the rear. but if you feel you need 360 degree coverage; get the blackwidow.

Q : Do the police know you are jamming them?
A : No, what we do is blank out his display (blank reading) and if you have ever used a radar gun before, you know they go blank a lot. so, he'll just keep hitting you and hitting you, and you need to know this, so you can let your foot off the accelerator.

Q : Do these jammers cover everything that is out there, will i need to upgrade later on?
A : Yes and no, you won't need to upgrade. we cover everything that the fcc allows the police to use. on the radar side, we cover between 7ghz and 38ghz on the laser side, we scramble his laser beam by changing the light's pulse width. so, if they ever come out with anything new, we cover it and you won't have to upgrade. (our jammers cover european frequencies as well)

Q : Does the jammer let you know you are being hit?
A : No, it is on all the time and always jamming but it won't go off like a detector will. this is why we still recommend using a detector with the phazer ii and black widow or simplify by getting the phantom ii, all in one combo.

Q : Where do these jammers mount on the vehicle?
A : On the windshield. they come with their own windshield mount and you need to mount them high and in the center for best performance. we recommend snuggling them up to the rearview mirror. make sure to keep them below the factory tint that runs across the top of the windshield. the tint will degrade the laser portion. the blackwidow mounts outside of the vehicle and mounts anywhere that is best suited for each vehicle, i.g. bumper, license plate cover, in grill, third tail light, etc. each vehicle is different, so be creative and read the instructions first!

Q : What about falsing? does the detector in the phantom ii go off on garage door openers, banks and supermarkets?
A : You can't get away from falsing. as time goes on more and more entities are getting on that band width. if you try to filter out those signals, you will be filtering out the same signals you are trying to receive. but on the phantom ii we have a city/hwy button and when you get in congested areas, just push this button. we also have the x band shut off now (where most of the falsing occurs) when repeat hits occur. i personally turn my volume down and let the jammer do all the work but i still listen and if the detector keeps going off, i let my foot off the gas.

Q : Can i just go speeding past the police with these jammers?
A : No, i don't recommend it. even if he can't get a reading on you and sees you speeding, he'll come out after you anyway. they don't need a reading to pull you over, they have that so called trained eye and can guesstimate the speed you are going.

Q : Do i really need a detector when i have a jammer?
A : Yes, we still recommend it. the police could be hiding in the bushes and just hitting you and hitting you and you need to know that. you want to be letting your foot off the accelerator. because as you get closer there is still that chance of getting caught. its called "punch-thru" and all jammers have it, its the nature of the beast and you can't get around it!

Q : What is "punch-thru"?
A : Its when you get close enough, there is still that chance of being picked up. his signals get stronger and your vehicles surfaces get larger and it just wants to bleed through because at any given instant, he's bombarding you with a million microwave signals and it only takes one signal to bleed through.

Q : Are active jammers better than passive jammers?
A : No, active jammers are illegal and only cover the x and k bands. they don't cover ka or laser. the police know you have them, and they set off all detectors around you. the passive jammers will not set off detectors, and will cover ka and laser bands.

Q : Does the color and shape of your vehicle matter?
A : Yes, to some extent. the larger the vehicle, the larger the surface area to get a reflection off of. for a mid-size vehicle, your punch-thru distance is roughly 100 feet. for a tractor trailer, it is roughly 200-300 feet. lower profile vehicles are best. as for color, white and silver are your worst colors. they are just like mirrors and give the police a better surface to get a reflection off of. dark colors are best.

Q : Are these jammers undetectable?
A : Yes, they are receivers and the police can't tell you have them. they can suspect but won't know for sure. the detector on the phantom is also undetectable (vg-2 safe).

Q : What is vg-2?
A : The police use a gun called the vg-2 to tell that you've got a detector. for personal cars, you really don't need to worry about it except in virginia and washington d.c. but for commercial drivers this is important to have. how the vg-2 works is; the gun measures the leakage off of your detector and what we do is control that leakage. you can't eliminate all leakage and over a period of time some leakage will be detected. so, for you truckers out there, take them down and unplug them when going across the scales!

Q : How are these jammers legal?
A : Our jammers are receivers and not transmitters. the fcc has no laws against receivers! rocky mountain radar has the only jammers on the market that are legal.

Q : What is the warranty on the jammers?
A : 36 month factory warranty, the best in the industry. if something does go wrong with the jammer, we will repair or replace it free.
