Just a couple of days ago I observed a WSP trooper using a NEW type of Laser gun with 4 optical lenses... I assume 2 lenses are for the actual laser and the other 2 lenses are for reception of the reflected beam?

Make and model?

MTM, I haven't talked with you since 1974...YIKES! we are old!
Awh, the days of KCPD southwest VHF 154.965 repeater... King, Victor and uh, the others elude my mind...

:D :D I may be old - I am not BO. Nor an Adam Henry (LOL) 73's

Kustom Signals and LTI are the main Laser vendors around here, and (so far) haven't offered such a device. I'll look into it, though.

Here's an educated guess on the four lenses...distance measurement.
I was listening to SPD running traffic last weekend and all of the speeds that were transmitted included a distance measurement for each vehicle clocked. I believe they were on the 38th Street overpass and clocking people going North on Aurora (Hwy 99) and it sounded like they were starting speed checks about mid-Aurora bridge which means you will never see the guy with the laser until they have clocked you for what sounded like over 2000 feet. I was told they have an optical sight that resembles a telescope with a cross hair for sighting. By the way, they wrote 110 tickets in a little over an hour and all were well over 50 MPH (in a 40). My guess is that these are the same laser devices that WSP has.

My Kustom Pro Laser III has two lenses - and it gives me speed & distance at the same time (down to 1/10th of a foot).

Spoke to a Trooper last week - he hadn't seen/heard of the State buying anything except the LTI or Kustom laser products.

Perhaps it is a evaluation unit? Prolaser IIII? Field tests? Or perhaps my eyes need testing... :wink:
