Since the receivers are set up to expect maybe 1 millionth of the transmitted power reflected back, they are very sensitive and the amplified waves would blow out the receiver. Of course, this only worked on very primative radar receivers with no overload protection. I don't know if smokey has overload protection, but it should at least jam the radar. Of course the best bet is to drive under the speed limit. -- I don't yell and I don't tell and I'm gratefull as hell. Benny Hill.
