Did anyone consider radar/lasar detectors for the lake?
I'm just curious if anyone else has thought about radar/lasar detection while running on the lake? With near infinite range, it would be very easy to pick up the MP when they are using it.
I have a fairly nice one that even has stealth mode. I don't need it on the lake since 45 is pretty much the top end of what my boat could do anyways. If a boat was being clocked in front or behind me anywhere in the vicinity, I'm certain my detector would sniff out MP. Food for thought and something that just dawned on me today. |

When they were doing the infamous "speed study" I found that the alarm on my depth finder goes off when a radar gun hits the boat.

IMO, there's really no need for a detector.
Given that lidar and radar have limited range that becomes more limited by motion (like a rocking boat), AND that there's wiggle room of +10 MPH like on the road, here's why I think this way: Based solely on geography, there are places where it's safe to go fast and there's places where it's not. I think this is a reasonable assumption and this concept immediately eliminates many areas that are simply too limited in space for safe high speed operation. If you opt to operate above 55 MPH in tight areas, you deserve a ticket (speed limit or not) IMO. Where it is safe to go fast, there's no place to hide and catch speeders. If an operator is going over the speed limit in an area that is safe, they only need to avoid coming within 500 to 1000 feet of any stationary boat to avoid having thier speed checked. If you are speeding and you can't avoid a stationary boat by 500 to 1000 feet, you should either slow down, or plan to get a ticket. Exceeding 40 MPH at night is pretty dumb and if you do that, you deserve a ticket (speed limit or not) IMO. My point is that a safe and thoughtful boat operator does not have to worry about the speed limit at all. You can't get caught if you just use your head. |

I hope that you belong to the SBONH because this is what we should all be hearing from them. IMHO this thread was started to show how boaters can get away with violating the speed limit and also to cause hate and discontent among the opposing groups. Some people thrive on pushing peoples buttons and the OP of this thread does exactly that. |

BI...
I find it hard to believe that your depth finder (sonar - sound waves) goes off when your boat was painted with radar (microwaves). Especially considering your sonar transducer is located under the waterline of the boat in either the bilge (internal) or external on the transom.... DaveR... The LIDAR units are not well suited for marine use because of the wave motion.... if you have one of those laser pointers go outside and try to hold it steady on an object approximataly 1/8 to 1/4 mile away. The units that look like binoculars are better, but still difficult to use give wave action and rocking boats. The handheld Radar units work pretty good and are pretty easy to use, the problem is they emit a cone of radiation and unless you are the only boat in area its hard to prove it was you. In both instances, the Law of Cosine works in your favor. The accuracy of the unit diminishes exponentially as the angle increases. In other words the units are most accurate when you are directly approaching or departing the radar/lidar unit. As the angle increaes, the speed it records you at decreases. Thats why on the roadways they give you a minimum 5 MPH leeway and thats with an approximate 5 degree angle..... Increase that angle to 10 or 15 degrees off your heading and the accuracy rapidly diminishes! Woodsy

Also, your post implies that without the SL in place, people were flying all over the place which is simply not true. And regarding the radar/lasar detectors, I have no doubt that mine would pick up MP. I see nothing wrong with using a detector to prevent getting a ticket. And I don't have mine because I am a chronic speeder (on road or water) so don't play that game either. My last ticket on the road was for 73 MPH in a 65 MPH zone on the Maine Turnpike by a State Trooper. I was one of three cars in the area at 6:30AM and the first in the line. I had NH plates at the time. First thing the cop said when he pulled me over was, "we have strict enforcement of the speed limits here in Maine." I'll let you decide why he would offer that comment the minute I rolled down my window. And I will offer that when he called in my license he would have seen a clean record too. The trooper was doing well over 90 MPH to catch up and then pull me over. Not to mention that when he switched to the middle lane without signaling he cut my boss off who was following behind me (had just stopped at his house to jump start his car). He didn't turn on his blue lights until he was about 10 ft from my bumper, tail gating me. The most dangerous car on the road that day had blue lights on top A month later I got a radar detector and have had one ever since. The one in my truck is about as top of the line as you can get. My old one stays in my wife's car. Now that I have my toy Mustang I may need to learn how to keep my right foot out of the gas however And no, I'm not baiting anyone. You decided to take it that way. I don't look at the SL as cut/dry or win/lose. I seriously had not thought of the radar/lasar detector on my boat and wondered if anyone had. I don't know what they are using and what band they transmit it at. I do find it odd that BI would say his depth finder would go off from the MP radar. There is a myth out there that you can use a fish finder to jam radar. That is certainly a myth. You can definitely jam radar and lasar but in order to do it, you have to transmitin a way that violates FCC rules and if caught would get you in far hotter water than a speeding ticket. |

BI is not telling any "fish tales" here!
Quote:
As a certified radar operator I have had the opportunity to spend many hours operating various radar devices over the years and have found that not only can I induce other electronic devices to act sporadically by pointing the beam a particular way, but I can also induce the radar to display false readings in the same method. One of my favorites is to see what I get for a reading from a digital watch, depending on the brand, or to search for distant aircraft radars audibly by listening to the radar's received doppler audio output while searching the sky with the cone. I have many many interesting radar stories...and I do get a kick out of reading a lot of the false assumptions that layman make online about radar! But never had I read so much misinformation than I did during the speed limit threads. While much of it was humorous, I do believe most of it was do more to plain misunderstanding than plain deception..... That all said Bear Islander's claims are not only plausible, but I have seen those same effects first hand. |

The reality is the cone diverges (spreads) as it gets farther from the transmitter requiring the operator to ensure they have the correct target. Unlike the road where vehicles are closer together, this is not as big an issue on the water. However, range is an issue but if the MP presense allows a boater time to slow down, then it gets the same result. I would guess that WinnFlabs is not satisfied unless a ticket is written however. |

Additionally RF energy can be coupled into the device via the power leads. So a power lead that may be a derivative of the wave length of a particular RF transmitter could help induce interference into the device. Finally a particular brand of Sonar may have an internal oscillator that is harmonically related to the frequency of the radar unit. There are multiple ways/reasons that the particular device BI has, or the unique way that it is installed, could induce the particular interference he is seeing. That's why marine electronics technicians that know what they are doing, and will work for a reasonable price, are a very scarce resource. Finally this is why I beleive that while BI's claims are rare, they are plausible and verifiable in real world situations. |

I'm not suggesting the underwater transducer picks up the RADAR directly. However the lead from the transducer to the depth finder in the dashboard is very high impedance. And is mostly above the water line. It therefore is susceptible to RFI from The RADAR gun. The depth finder interprets the RFI hash as multiple depths and the shallow-water alarm is triggered. |

I think the FCC is VERY particular about how electronic devices radiate energy. Look at the documentation that comes with everything you buy that "may" radiate energy. Your garrage door opener for example, etc. A term that comes to mind is "May Not" (meaning not permissible) interfere with other gadgets within a certain range.
Now if a radar were able to penetrate another gadget so easily, I would think the FCC would have something to say about it. The inside of the plastic case on my computer has metal/foil shielding to prevent either intrussion or radiation outward, by Rf energy which might interfere with the operation of other electronic devices.

Back to radar/lidar....
Quote:
Anyway, we have strayed significantly from the original post's question and intent. By the way, to get back to the original post, a radar or laser detector would probably work significantly better over open water than its intended terrestial application. Since the radar/lidar units operate within the same parameters frequencywise as their land use cousins than they would operate as least as well over the water, where they are not currently banned under existing NH regulations. |

Nope, I definitely was a "boomer" sailor!
Right and wrong again....
Submarine sailors in genearl are called bubbleheads, as referenced in one of my posts to fellow bubblehead lawn psycho. However Fleet Ballistic Missile submariners have a specific nickname known as "Boomer" sailors, a reference to the 16 or 24 ballistic missiles their particular boat class carried. As a submarine sailor or "bubblehead" you had two career paths you could follow. Lawn Psycho chose to go the "fast attack" route and I chose to be a "boomer" sailor. That is how we in the submarine world differentiated between the two significantly different classes of submarine service. See what you learn when you when you delve deep into depths of the posts here on Winnipesaukee.com! |

I stand corrected! Skip... Thanks! PS: Hope you gettin some riding in! I do admit I still have a hard time believing a low powered RF emitter like the K-band Handheld Units can wreak this kind of interference unless at an extremely close range. Woodsy

Completely off topic....
But I hope you Bubbleheads have had the opportunity to check out the sub that started it all.... convieniently located here in Portsmouth NH! Some of the things this sub pioneered and developed are still classified! Its def a very cool place to visit! http://ussalbacore.org Woodsy

Lurching Back to the Topic...
Quote:
Besides BI's low-depth alarm, there may be a frequency on a standard scanner or standard boat radio that picks up some cycle of NHMP RADAR. RADAR was used by the military coastal surveillance for enemy aircraft and ships, and employed civilian "Coast-Watchers"). Before there was RADAR, there were the so-called "Coast-Listeners". I have a good collection of these: the above device appears to be American. The variety of those listening device designs is amazing. Long before the aircraft would appear in sight, I expect an experienced operator could determine if fighter or bomber, the speed, the number of engines on each aircraft, as well as the exact direction of compass—the general direction of flight—and the number of aircraft approaching. (Much more data than early RADAR.) 'Course, out on the lake, such data collection by ear is unneeded. During the day, you can hear loud boats eight miles away, and still not be able to see them! |

Thanks Woodsy
I have seen that boat many times off the side of US-1 on the way north to Bath. Never stopped. I have been aboard a few boats..both when I was in the Navy and when I worked for Defence Contractors afterward. I have even been aboard a British Fast attack boat when it showed up in Newport some time ago.
Memory's from an old Surface Puke who worked with the "Boats". There was a friendly rivalry then. I don't take that term as a put down.. The Bubbleheads referred to Surface Ships as TARGETS. NB |

Since this thread is hopelessly off-topic I'll add that I toured U-995 in Kiel, Germany many years ago. The interior was like a sardine can and at 6'3" I almost had to crawl through it. The bunks couldn't have been more than 15" from the ones above and below. I couldn't imagine being at sea or in battle in that thing. No place for anyone with claustrophobia.
By the way, one of my favorite movies is U-571. Highly recommended for submarine warfare fans. |

Since we are TOTALLY off topic, maybe with some interest in old submarine Sea Stories.. I'll relate this:
It was 1987 and I was working for a Defense Contractor (Navy) in Newport. Our company was an engineering company and was tasked with updating a (NUSC) submarine laboratory. Anyhow, we had a couple of Bubbleheads who were either Retired or recently separated from the Submarine Service. At the same time, the Clancy book "Hunt For Red October" had just come out. I seemed to be the first to find a copy. Before long everyone in the office had a copy and was reading the book during lunch. One of our ex Bubbleheads was a "Plank Owner" (Ret) in Nautilus (SSN-571, THE First Nuke Boat) As they were reading the book, people in the office started asking him questions about such things as "Sosus".. and other little tidbits in the book. His Response: Just a smile and a shrug. Sub Sailors are "Debriefed" when leaving the service. They are sworn to NEVER talk about what they saw or did during their service. I know a few of them. They will NOT respond. One of them has been a friend for over 40 years. NO Comment on Sub OPS. This friend was on a boat that was Cable Tapping the Soviets in Russia during the cold war. All he will admit was he was on a particular boat. "Blind Mans Bluff" told me what his boat had been doing. As we used to say back then: "Negative Further". THEY are patriots. NB DEFINITION: Plank Owner: A sailor who was part of the Original Commissioning crew on any Navy Ship.. or in this case a "Boat". BOTTOM LINE: Those who served must remain Silent. Civilians (authors) who run across stuff can publish whatever they want. |

USS Hazelwood ( DD-531 )...
Our brother Mel was stationed aboard the USS Hazelwood while serving in the Navy. They had a Family cruise on a visit to Boston, and my sister Dianne and I got to go aboard and enjoy the day complete with a steak dinner. 1959- 1960, as I recall. A great experience for us!!
Here's some history and other specifics on this ship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Hazelwood_(DD-531) Terry __________________________________________________ _

2) "Sosus" got corrupted, and Toshiba caused the waste of billions of US taxpayers' dollars. I have Navy friends who won't touch Toshiba products. (I own none.) 3) TIME magazine has published accounts of many of our still-classified operations, costing us even more billion$ in American "intellectual property". This is not to mention America's "Newspaper of Record".

Yes, The Skunks Of The Sea Hid In Them Tin Cans...
We also found a better way to route them out! No contest. Run silent, run deep, is in the past! Acres per Second is a proof + to this.
Class, I don't think so... And I very proudly served as a Spec. E-4 during the Vietnam war, in the signal Core, kept my mouth shut pretty good in those times... Now, out the 'nother side, Oh, don't we have Acres P S. "Shut Up, trfour!" Terry ______________________________________

What about radar and laser jammers?
Radar detectors may be good to have on board but what if we all used radar and Laser jammers?
You can Google Radar or Laser Jammers and find some that work and some that are illegal to use on the roads of some states. I don't see any that are illegal to use on boats. They are cheaper than a speeding ticket and if enough people have them on board then the speed trap becomes a non-issue |
