Piloto is a new Euro Radar Jammer with claims to defeat European mobile speed radar guns. We reviewed this Euro radar jammer and provide comments below. The companies in Spain and Belgium offering this product may not realize what kind of jammer they are selling, but it is designed as a broad band radar jammer, which means it produces a lot of power and spreads 0.9 watts (900mili watts) of RF power across a wide dynamic radar spectrum from 9.4GHz (GigaHertz) or 9,400,000,000 Hz to about 36 GHz (36,000,000,000 Hz). I provide their text and our comments below. In summary, you should be aware of the issues with this product.
When speed is detected using a hand-held radar device, a radar detector or a spectrum analysis (built-in device that scans the environment for possible radar beams) does not offer any significant protection when your speed exceeds 160km per hour. Furthermore, traffic police in some European member states monitor speed using radar speeding detectors aimed at the back of vehicles. The chance of detecting a mobile speed radar detector at a safe distance, providing you with a sufficient amount of time to apply the brakes, is completely impossible. Consider yourself warned! We also recommend that, when you consider purchasing a speeding offense evasion device, you test the device properly before making your purchase, at a speed of at least 160 km per hour, preferably when traffic police are using a mobile radar device. Regardless of the speed at which you are driving, the Piloto interrupts every hand-held and stationary radar speeding detector! Dealers can make an appointment for a test drive. An advanced radar avoidance system, taking 3 plus years to develop the Piloto, an accurate and practical radar avoidance system.
Piloto Euro Radar Jammer
The Piloto claims 100% reliability, but since it has not been tested and there is no customer feedback, I think the 100% claim is a claim rather than a fact. Vehicle Speed is measured using the principle of the Doppler effect. If your car should come within the radius of a speed radar, the Piloto claims to alter the radar frequency to the radar gun. Depending on your own speed, a radar gun detects your Doppler signal and calculates your speed. The Piloto claims to influences the radiation in such a manner that it becomes impossible for the speed radar to obtain an accurate reading of your speed. This implies sending back a radar jammer signal causing the radar gun to not detect the Doppler signal, thus fail to display your speed and no traffic fine is issued for the speeding offense. Non detectable is a second claim of the Piloto; i.e. it cannot be detected by an RDD (Radar-Detector Detector). This implies the local oscillator (LO) frequency is either non-existent, electronically hidden or at an LO frequency that is not presently detected. The Piloto does not transmit any “measurable” signals but it influences the signals of radar speeding detectors in an inconspicuous manner. On the other hand, most radar detectors transmit perceptible LO signals, which can be detected by R.D.D. (radar detector detector).
What the product does not define is that it is a broadband radar jammer. It does not search for the incoming radar frequency, but simply transmits 100% of the time across the radar band from 9.41GHz to 34.36GHz. This is an updated version of the radar jammer that used to be available in the USA back in middle 1990 timeframe. The reason 900mW (0.9 watts) is required is that you need that much power to constantly radiate energy from 9.41GHz to 34.36GHz; thus you can at best achieve 50 meters radar protection. The limited power makes this product focused on photo speed cameras, but it produces so much cockpit RF energy, it is cooking your gonads to protect you from a speed camera ticket. It will not be effective against highway radar, unless they decide to use extremely low powered, radar guns. This Piloto radar jammer produces on average 2.5mW of energy per degree of radiation around your vehicle. The output power is spread across a wide range of radar frequencies (34.36GHz – 9.41GHz = 24.95GHz = 24,950,000,000 hertz). So the amount of average power at each radar peak frequency (X, Xa1, Xa2, Ku, K, Ka1, Ka2, Ka3, Ka4) is on average about 20 nanowatts or 0.00000002 watts per degree per radar peak. The power of all radar guns is significantly greater than the small amount of RF energy this Piloto radar jammer makes available for your protection, which is why it is specified at 50m protection. A typical radar jammer would give you ½ mile or 1km distance protection.
The specifications show some very significant drawbacks:
1) The amount of RF energy at each radar band is extremely low, since this is a broad band radar jammer.
2) The antenna is omni-directional. Given the Piloto is in the cockpit, the radiated power is 360 degrees. Hmmmm! What does that mean to you the drivers? You are in the cockpit and you are radiating your brain and other parts with RF energy. Not good. Does the company selling this product recognize that RF energy to the brain, heart and gonads is not a good thing. Cel phones transmit much less power, and we know that there are concerns of cel phone power being so close to our heads.
3) Radiated power down to your gonads. I don’t think that is an interesting proposal. Cooking your gonads. I wonder if the people at Piloto are concerned if their Piloto may cause harm to your Gonads.
4) 900mW of jamming power is a lot of energy, if it was transmitted only on the bands you need. The Piloto is broadcasting 900mw (0.9 watts) across a huge bandwidth, which makes the amount of energy on each of the radar bands (X 10.525GHz, Xa1 9.41GHz, Xa2 9.9GHz, Ku 13.45GHz, K 24.15GHz, Ka1 33.8 GHz, Ka2 34.3GHz, Ka3 34.7GHz, Ka435.gGHz) extremely low, estimated at (20 nanowatts or 0.00000002 watts) per radar band. A typical radar jammer transmits 10mW (0.010 watts) of energy on each band, which is 500,000 times greater than the power that Piloto has available for each radar band noted above. This product is producing 900mW at 360 degrees, which is 2.5 mW per degree, averaging about 15 – 25 degrees for your body. This means you are radiating your body with about 37 – 60 mW of RF energy and only providing a miniscule amount of power to each radar band of interest. The radar guns get little energy and your body gets the most radar.
In the past, a lot of police would use their radar guns. The police would place the operating radar gun between their legs while sitting in the car. All I can say if fried Gonads. That ain’t right! Does the Piloto radiate energy into the cockpit where you are sitting with an omni-directional radar antenna?
5) 50 meters protection? Get real! You need to jam radar out to ½ mile or 1000 meters (1km) distance. If you can only get 50 meters of protection with a high level of cockpit RF energy, what value is the Piloto?
