TMG Alpha-17 Laser Jammer Quad Head Review
Do you know that a radar detector by itself is NOT adequate protection for police laser?
Just about every radar detector manufactured today can detect police laser.
What they don’t tell you is that the narrow beam of the police laser gun needs to be within an 18” radius of your radar detector for it to activate.
And, if by chance your detector does activate, it’s already too late, the officer has already captured your speed.
In other words when you’re shot, you're caught!
TMG Alpha-17 Laser Defender Laser Jammer
The redesigned TMG Alpha-17 Laser Defender by Facets / TMG is one the most advanced laser jammers ever offered and is being positioned to be the most effective and efficient laser jammer on the market.
How the TMG Alpha-17 Laser Defender works
Today's modern police laser guns have incorporated a variable random pulse rate algorithm, or VRPR. This technology, also known as Electronic Counter Counter Measures (or ECCM), is an attempt by manufacturers to prevent jamming by laser defense systems. This ECCM technology has been used for years by the United States and Russian militaries to defeat laser guidance defense systems. These advanced ECCM technologies are nothing new to TMG engineers, and they have had protected IP strategies to defeat this technology in place since 1997.
Built on TMG proprietary solutions founded and utilized by defense departments around the world to defend from incoming laser guided missile systems, TMG utilizes an advanced predictive modeling algorithm to accurately defend against these guns.
TMG can accurately predict what the next pattern will be with a high degree of accuracy.
TMG methodology to defeat these newer guns is much more accurate than record and download a constantly changing environment and hoping you have the latest database loaded. We had to do it this way back in the 90's as the Russians wouldn't let us borrow their missiles to record all their ECCM algorithms.
There are hundreds of possible "slots" in which a variable rate laser gun can fire a pulse. For example here are the first ten pulses recorded from a 2018 modern VPR/ECCM active gun:
P001= 5.4002 ms
P002= 6.1403 ms
P003= 6.9803 ms
P004= 5.2303 ms
P005= 5.5503 ms
P006= 4.8003 ms
P007= 6.7703 ms
P008= 5.1203 ms
P009= 7.1503 ms
P010= 5.2203 ms
You can see the variable pulse rates. These rates can and are randomly adjusted on-the-fly to always be a different pattern.
Manufacturers of other laser defense systems buy versions of the guns used by law enforcement and record the various patterns and pulse rates. When their laser defense systems "see" a pulse rate they recognize, they "lookup" that algorithm and respond with a recorded or stored response. The problem is these pulse patterns can be changed at anytime by the laser gun manufacturers, and successful laser defense requires the system to already know how to respond to the pulse pattern.

Software Upgradable
You can update your laser defender online using your PC, so your jammer is always up-to-date.
Installation
Typical install time for a do-it-yourself install is about an hour, and you will be guided through the entire process using the enclosed step-by-step instructions.
If you don’t feel comfortable doing the install yourself, I would then contact your local Best Buy store that has a 12-volt install department or any other mobile electronics installer.
Installation prices vary by location and the type of vehicle.
Warranty
As an authorized TMG reseller, your TMG Aplha-17 Laser Defender comes with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
Laws
Laser is regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and not the FCC. There are currently no federal laws prohibiting the use of this device on a passenger vehicle.
However, there are currently 12 states in the USA that do outlaw the use of laser jamming devices, they are: South Carolina, Nebraska, Minnesota, Utah, California, Oklahoma, Virginia, Colorado, Illinois, Texas, Tennessee and Washington DC.
Therefore, if you do drive in these areas it’s advisable to program your device as a receiver only or to automatically shut off once activated.
