    Default Future tech ft2001

    My dad just dug up an old Future Tech FT2001 and gave it to me. Anybody tell me anything about it? Will it detect all current KA? Not going to replace my V1 or anything but I'm going to play around with it.

    Yes it will detect KA. It's produced by Early Warning. That's all I've found so far.

    Early Warning... in other words, it's a piece o'junk.

    It might be fun to play with but I would never trust it as a countermeasure.

    Play with it for sure. Have fun ! Do some different antenna horn mods to it with a old pizza box and some aluminim foil and see what happens when you drive by a walmart or such. Try a much narrower longer antenna and stick it to the front of it.

    So far haven't picked up any KA but it is a lot quieter on K since it doesn't pick up the shopping center doors very well!

    Isn't that how Cobra's Intellimute works?

    Didn't Cobra take over Early Warning years ago?
