I'm pretty sure you can turn the laser shifters off easily....... gimme a few, I'm gonna look in the owner's manual....
EDIT: Here we go, just read in the manual that you can cycle through the different bands and turn them off individually.
Once you get to "LSR" (Laser), you have 3 choices: RECV, SHFT, or OFF.
....So when you're in Canada, if you set the system to RECV or OFF, your Laser Shifters should be disabled until you turn them back on.
Gotcha. Right now I have this one Solo S2 which I've had for about 6 or 7 years.
Battery powered, easy to grab and hide but wouldn't really mind upgrading
to something like yours.
