I have not been lucky enough to find anyone close by me and need to do some testing on my new LI setup.
The only thing I can think of is maybe finding someone willing to loan me a laser gun. I pay shipping here and back. I could also pay you for what the gun is worth and you could refund me once it arrives safe and sound back to you. I promise I will take care of it like it is my own.
Just a thought. I just need to test it as soon as I can.
Where are you located?
Southern part of Kentucky near TN line.
Last summer I knew of a company that rents some Lidar guns but have no idea where I put the name & worse, I can't remember the name,either.
I'll try to find it again.
Thanks Max! I looked at their website. Which gun do you guys think I should rent to test this? Which is the most difficult to jam for the LI ? This would be best one to get. If it can jam the most difficult one then I know I am in good shape.Quote:

Do you know what guns are in your area?
No I am not sure. That is what I am currently browsing around trying to find out. Not sure.....Quote:

These are both older Lidar models.
IMO,an LTI "TruSpeed" or "LR B" model would be a good choice,since BOTH are very popular & widely used by State Police nationally.Local Police Dept's seem to prefer PL III's generally speaking.
It's also very important for a novice like you to have knowledge of how to properly set-up menu choices & operate the unit first...before renting one.
p.s. - you do NEED a very steady hand to target a vehicle,(just as a sniper must to be successful).
You got that ?
p.p.s. - An example of poor technique:

(The LaserAlly is so fast in capturing a "lock" for speed reading that it even compensates for this Shooter's erratic hand movements !!!)
Many other Lidar models would fail to get a reading under these circumstances.
Rentals are 139 bucks for three days. Thats pretty steep isnt it? Thats the shortest time frame that they have.
My pleasure...Quote:

Regarding safety: all police speed Lidar are class 1 - you can expose your retina (look directly to them even from 1 meter for hours...)
If he had succeeded rent them continuously, I would say that he has a successful business, since he purchased the majority of the LIDAR on EBAY, return for the investment is within a few weeks ...Quote:
