Knight Raider Review and fixes!!

[MR2NR]

I bought one of these when they first came out and it looked ok but I wanted a diffuser so you didn't have "hot spots" that are notorious with LED's. I found some textured acrylic and cut 1 inch strips of it. Which was kinda tricky. I really liked the look and was pretty satisfied with what I had accomplished. But then I washed my car. Wooops!! This thing completely filled with water and died. I took it apart and was shocked to see how easily it disassembled and not even sealed. So I got another one and took it apart and coated the circuit board with 3 coats of dielectric coating then filled the whole shell with hot glue and sealed it up with hot glue. It has worked great and I have tried to short it out with the hose with no avail . It really upsets me when these companies sell these things for $90+ and it isn't even waterproof!!! I made a few more and have put them on Ebay so if you want a "durable cheap scanner" that isn't going to die the first shower/car wash you drive through, here you go

Here is some pics of the revisions.

Cool, but why do you have the KI2T style scanner pic up on the Ebay page? Seems a little misleading IMO.

It's just there for the people who forgot about KR. I have videos and the actual picture of the unit also. If your from this forum you should know what a Lectric and Brenon scanner runs .
