    Default STi-r RF leakage

    With a scanner i can detect a 400.012 mhz leakage from the reciever from no more than 3 metres. Should i be worried?

    You just got to remember that all electronics leak even your sti-r.

    I'm not the expert but I think the spectre doesn't look for that frequency.

    At 4Mhz, you may be getting the clock for one of the microprocessors. The spectre doesn't recieve 4Mhz, and a zillion other devices also use a 4Mhz clock. This wouldn't be a strong enough signal to use to find detector users, and if a device were listening on 4 Mhz, it would alerting almost constantly to every MP3 player, GPS and cellphone around. Nothing to worry about.

    I made a typo in my original post it should be 400.012 mhz. So isn't 400mhz different to 4mhz?

    TomTom runs a 400 MHz chip, can you pick that up?

    Yes I would worry !!!! 3 Meters is 9 feet. You just never know when a police officer may be laying on the Autobahn with a scanner looking for a car with and RD to drive over him.

    Happens here in Germany all the time.........................
