I think we may have a choice and order which we prefer per order,
I think the LRC100 sounds good, although the 920X will soon be able to support two units (front and rear) from one control.
I think there are a lot of dodgy diffusers which may not work, should stick with the most recommended which have good test results.

Just spoke to the supplier, and users can either order the SLD920X or the LRC100, for £235 plus £5.99 shipping so should make everyone happy. You can also pay by credit card.
We need minimum of 50, so if you are happy with this add your name to the list.

scooby_si - I was hoping for a cheaper deal, as I wanted 2 Front and back. But noone else has come foward with a better offer, so I think we have the cheapest with the added bonus that we can order which ever one we prefer, and by card.

I have told him the price of 235 needs to be beaten, and that the other supplier is a friend of the current organiser.
I have requested he gets as close to £200 as possible as that is what people on here seem to be expecting.
He will be quoting on both units with any luck, but having read everything, I don't see why anyone would rather go with the snooper sld 920x over the target lrc100.

Probably of no interest now but I can get the Beltronics LaserPro 904 wich has three diffusers, two front and one rear with a central controller for £275 inc VAT and delivery. RRP is £330.

Beltronics LaserPro 904
"So overall the kit is quite well made, but not well thought out, size of the heads may well be a problem as we have said, brackets are not that versatile and the rear unit is just not designed to be discreet or very adjustable and I would suggest that if you can go and have a look at the kit before you buy it. Remember not all mail order companies will let you return the box once its been opened so please be careful.
So did it work...... ?
We do our tests in two ways.
Part One is on a road that is quite bumpy and gives us a view of over 2000ft we do several runs on this road and we are quite strict, get a speed and the unit fails. Speeds of 30 and 60 mph are used.
Part Two is off a bridge on a major road so we can conduct tests at 60 and 80mph. Again if we get a speed it fails. The bridge also gives a harder test for the jammers. Most speedtraps you will see are on bridges. Two cars were used, one large MPV and one small car.
Given the fact that the Bel 904 has two heads front and one back we do tests in both directions for the trial.
On both tests the Front Transponders did the job, they prevented us from obtaining a speed.
However the Rear Transponder did not prevent us from getting a speed at all on our large vehicle. We re-inspected the Rear Transponder setup, just to make sure we had not fitted it incorrectly but after several more runs, we found that the Rear Transponder was not up to the job. The rear transponder was fitted to a large people carrier, further tests a few weeks later on a Porsche 911 have shown that the rear transponder will jam. We believe the jammer will work but its dependent on the size of vehicle and the type of body.
IMPORTANT NEWS: 15 Aug. 2002..... Its looking like it could be car and laser gun dependent regarding the rear transponder. We suggest you talk to the dealer for advice.
Can I recommend it, from our findings
Yes and No, The front transponders have no problem in jamming
however the it seems the rear Transponder will work on some cars and not on others."
