Has anyone come across the gosafe vans using a redline?
There marketing blurb tells me there the most sensitive on the Market - and I think they do k band.

There's a video on YouTube aswell one one being used in Ireland against a go safe, (forgewires on the Belgard road).
That looks pretty impressive.

@kev
take a spin along the sth ring, east bound.
Measure the distance of the false alert by counting the light posts before the gantry, before the fly over .
I always get more warning with ka on

That looks like good warning time alright, but it's not clear if there were any other k band sources there that may have given an earlier false

Can anyone say why these new gosafes are so hard to detect? The microwave device used is capable of 100mw which at 24ghz should be detectable at some distance.

Thanks. That makes sense. Basically there narrowing the beam width of the antenna to minimise overspill.
I suppose the bottom line is - I need a rd that offers the highest level of sensitivity - one that can pull a weak signal out of the noise.

100mw at 24ghz can travel a surprisingly long distance - even if off axis you should be getting a couple of hundred meters.

Out of curiosity are these signals in the speed camera generated by a gunnplexer or a "proper" synthesiser?

I believed you lol but I must try it for the craic sometime .

Thanks for that Forgewire. Damn it though. It is the AGD340 all right so we are most likely screwed with anything less than a STI-R plus here from now on it seems .

I had a look at the manual for that STI-R and it's a neat piece of kit, you can mount an LED on your dash as a warning light as well and it has a radio mute.. Also I believe it has a 'dark mode' which disables the detection abilities.

Hmm decisions, decisions...I'm not going to do anything hasty as I won't be home for a few months but let's see how the V1 performs against these things, one video is not enough as kev said the windscreen could be arthemtic and hindering the V1's performance, I think however that it's gameover for the V1

If all goes to all I'll ebay the V1 and look elsewhere... 1100 yoyo's is a large sum, but this hobby is expensive as we all know! I'm curious to how a cheetah sentinel would do against a redflex, not sure if they even make it anymore but it was meant to be king of the K band back in the day.

[corkguykev]

I emailed cheetah a few months ago and they have indeed discontinued the sentinel . I can probably see myself getting an STI-R plus TBH. Only the best will do against these things...

RacerX had his STI-R vertically mounted in that video also which he said helps against them. The V1 in that video behaved pretty much the same as the one in Jimmy's video but the STI-R had it detected long before that so it looks like the only way to go. Only the best will do I reckon.

Well guys, unfortunately I think your right, I done abit of googling and multiple sources on the net indicate that Redflex use the AGD antenna in their setup

According to he first link they run on the K 24.100ghz band, so I guess it's probably stick to the speed limit, take off your reg plates or up the game and get an STI- plus, I had a look on the escort/bel boards and according to their rep, it's all made in Canada and he only difference in the various releases is the tweaked software.

I'm continuing my travels for another couple of months but Im interested to see how you get on. Certainly is another spanner in the works.
