V1 vs. 9500i in REAR Detection?

[ZJamaican]

If I'm on the freeway going 75-80 and an LEO starts to approach me from behind running constant on KA, which system would alert me first and how significant would the difference be?

The reason I ask is because this is a very common situation, at lease in CA. Also it seems like most of the testing that is done on Radar Detectors, involves a situation where the radar gun is in front of the radar detector.

Also the V1 site markets the V1 as

The only detector with two radar antennas.

Then they show this:



and...




Are V1's claims 100% fact?

Thanks.

Obviously the V1 with its dedicated rear antenna will alert sooner. Yet if your local cops like to leave their radar guns on, then any decent radar detector will pick up the cop's Ka band radar from behind long before he gets close enough to get your car's speed. Thus Valentine's drawing "This is you with an ordinary detector" is misleading since it suggests that no ordinary radar detector can detect radar from behind your car. The V1 of course does have those arrows which will let you know that the radar is behind you.

apples to oranges....u can pick stuff up from the rear with every other RD but only the v1 has the horn back there

Well there are not much guns at all that can detect your speed if there going the same direction as you. But yest rear detection the v1 is going to alert first but i wouldn't say by a lot.

But if your really worried about that then deffinatly go with the v1

So when I see cops driving down a freeway that has a median, your saying most of the time they are not able to get a reading ? Or is it possible that since so many cops here in California do this that we can safely assume that the guns they are equipped with can get a read while going the same direction?

So according to VR, moving laser exists? At least that is what it looks like in the last diagram.

No when they are actually moving (like 60 mph) and your moving too and your both going the same direction.

There are very few guns (maybe even 1) that can detect your speed while there moving and going in the same direction.

(dj or whoever, correct/make sure my statement is true... and the gun... stalker?)

No moving lidar to date. But I expect that's the lidar manufacturers next move.

CHP uses Stalker Duals, which are capable of obtaining speed readings for cars either in the front or the rear of the vehicle, travelling in either direction. So, if the CHP is on the other side of the freeway, he can get your reading, but I've never seen them do this. They are always looking for speeders on their side of the freeway. Crossing to the other side of the freeway to chase down a speeder is time consuming. Now, on a two lane road, such as 395 to Mammoth, CHP commonly uses moving I/O radar to obtain spped readings for vehicles travelling the other direction. They will then flip a b***h and chase down the speeder. Don't ask me how I know this.

Stalker Duals are quite capable of obtaining speed readings of cars travelling the other direction. The question is, will they easily be able to cross over and chase down the speeder. If so, then this is a real possibility. If not, you should be ok.

dj can the stalker get how fast your going being behind you and going the same exact direction you are... like this

I can see it by the radar using the car speed and detecting how far the car is pull away or pulling towards to get the speed, but i don't know



If the cop is behind you and your both moving can he turn on his radar and get your speed. I think this is a new feature in stalker radars. Thanks
