Frequently Asked Questions
The
Rocky
Mountain
Radar
model
RMR-8RDS
detector/scrambler is designed to give you radar and laser
detecting and scrambling from the front and rear of the car.
Can I test it with roadside trailer radars?
The trailers you see on the side of the road, that show your
speed, are not legal to use to write tickets. They do not contain
the sophisticated sampling computers that are in police radar
guns. Since our units confuse the computer and there is none,
they will not work reliably against the trailers.
Can the police detect it?
The radar and laser scramblers do not have RF emissions and
cannot be detected.
What states are they legal in?
The Rocky Mountain Radar scramblers are
not
legal in
Colorado, Utah, California, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Minnesota,
Illinois
(unless the scramblers are unplugged)
and Virginia.
The Rocky Mountain Radar detectors are
not
legal in
commercial vehicles in most states. Use caution in these states.

What is Punch-Through?
The signal reflected by the car gets stronger the closer the target
is to the radar gun. The Rocky Mountain Radar scrambler uses
the radar signal as a carrier and reflects it through a high-gain
antenna. It will work only as long as the scrambling signal is
greater than the signal from the target. Punch-through is when
these signals are equal or within 50-200 feet.
What is the effective range?
The radar scrambler works at four to six times the range of the
radar gun. The laser scrambler is effective at more than two
times the Lidar range.
Important information:
When driving in states that ban scramblers – unplug
the front and rear scramblers. Detectors are legal in all
states except Virginia and Washington D.C. With the
scrambler off, this unit is only a detector.
