[QUOTE="Gerald Pierce, post: 709800, member: 54639"] Sonar = Sound Laser = light Radar = RF Energy With 25 years in elex repair of military equipment, I can not see a sonar device that is mobile and can be powered by an automotive electrical system producing enough energy that when the sound was traveling through the air it could disrupt the RF of a radar gun or one of the laser speed detectors. Now perhaps some sort of antenna that would capture some of the RF, delay it slightly, and then amplify it before retransmitting it back out could throw off the radar gun, but with a laser(LIDAR), I doubt you could do anything much as the beam is very finite. If it really worked, we would everyone out there with a fishfinder mounted on thier front bumper :) [/QUOTE]
