It worked, sort of. } }The problem was that these were so numb that Le Flic would be writing }you the ticket before the detector triggered. Nice toy, but not very }useful. Another solution, which I have used with great success for about 10 years, is to drive no more than 9 mph over the speed limit. The beauty of it is that it's absolutely free, and it works everywhere but Illinois. Commence firing! -- Norm (strong@tc.fluke.com)
