That's why you don't need lasers. Remember, if you use a laser, you have to aim directly at the speed gun to jam it effectively. Why not use IR-LEDs? Their light is much more diffuse, and as you stated, the LEDs should be much 'brighter' than the reflection from your car. -O. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oliver Scholz DG4NEM Graduate Student of Computer Sciences at the University of Erlangen, Germany "You're killing me, Peg!"
