EA6B Prowlers are cool. Loudest plane on the flight deck - damn, they're
loud! Good payload too! I was in an A7E squadron. I remember you EA6B guys
testing your electronic counter measures equipment with the warning signs
all around the place - basically "stay away from this plane or your nuts
will fall off" - ha! What Nicholas is saying is true.
Further DML relevance:
1. Wish my Dak sounded like a Prowler.
2. Wish my Dak had the payload of a Prowler.
3. If it had the same TYPE of payload as a Prowler, I could REALLY spank
the bowties, blue ovals, and nips. heh heh heh.....

Subject: Re: DML: Radar Scramblers
My first real job in life was the maintainance of the electronic
countermeasures system on the EA6B aircraft which was one large radar
scrambler/modifier device.
For a street radar scrambler to work it must output quite a bit of high
frequency energy, think of a microwave oven next to you running most of
the
time with the door open. You would want the antenna/oscillator outside of
the vehicle's sheetmetal at a minimum.
The police officer would know right away that something was up since you
could probably not match his own specific modulation (unless of course you
have the budget of the government), a call on the radio to someone ahead
and you would probably be asking for a lawyer rather quickly. I would not
reccomend using one.
I must say that a good detector can be a very good tool, that is it is the
detector operator that determines if you get caught or not. Being the
only
one on the road makes any detector useless, it is only the detection of
the
radar on other vehicles ahead of you that can help you.
