No, I haven't tested them yet. Not having access to a real laser speed gun makes that hard . Apparently it's either much more discriminating against falses than my V1, or just plain broken, one of the two. I pointed an IR remote control at the car and it set off the V1 but not the blinder. The IR remote operates at 980nm and police laser guns are at 904nm though, so my gut feeling is that the Blinder is just rejecting false signals better. Sometime this week I'm going to hunt down a cheap 904nm testing source, there must be some random crappy product at Fry's that happens to emit that wavelength or something (or worst case, I'll just buy a 904nm laser diode and build one myself).

And as far as existing product tests, these guys seem pretty reliable, and the Blinder does well there: Radar Detector Tests and Laser Jammer Tests by Guys of LIDAR
