Look at the media source. I'm surprised this magazine still exists. Reviewing how a RD falses is not a review. Bunch of softballs honestly to not piss off the paying advertisers.
Mandingo thanks for the thread. At the end of the day you just wanted to show us a review you googled up Cheers for that dude. To tell you the truth this is not the kind of review that has any real legitimate meaning to any senior forum member. While it's easy reading for the masses and could and would influence any newbie to radar detectors, it hasn't any real meat/food for thought. For many years DJ, myself and other forum members have read review after review only to find them to be incorrect and somewhat bent..... Whether the reviewer had been paid off or is just not very good at what they do who known’s?
GOL was a team of guys from this forum who wanted to know the truth.
So at the time people like CP a self proclaimed industry leader in RD testing did his very best to knock these guys out, remember they were just some dudes who had RD’s in common no hidden agenda just having some fun. But CP had a lot riding on his lies IMO it was because they were showing him and others out to be what he really is.... (And they did a good job at it too)
So when you politely but somewhat arrogantly blow DJ off just remember you have only been around here for 5 mins and don't know a whole bunch about what’s gone down in the RD world over a number of years. Regards

well you have this basically right

Not arrogance whatsoever.
that's a mistaken belief but you aren't aware of this fact
I know far more about the situation you bring up and have observed both sides of the story and then some and much before that.
it's a convoluted tale and then some and far to old a one to care much about anymore.
ever see a s band radar on a tripod?
I have
It comes down to this basically.
I don't believe every detector tests other then gol tests are rigged.
take off that tin foil hat

well he did say it was based on the Kelly Johnson "chicken test" remember?
Kelly was a very direct and very smart person.
He wasn't one to count the feathers missing on those chickens and graph them for anyone.
I remember a test he did for the f-104. He took the wing and then the t-tail and strapped them to sounding rockets and photographed them in flight.
No empirical graphs here just basic sound understanding of engineering
you should really look into the story of Kelly Johnson
want a empirical test Speedzones has them
