Expensive! Holy smokes. Sorry Roy, i went direct because i couldn't wait.
I've had V1, Beltronics Magnum and Passport 8500, among some older ones in the past. I bought this one because of the...

Expensive! Holy smokes. Sorry Roy, i went direct because i couldn't wait.
I've had V1, Beltronics Magnum and Passport 8500, among some older ones in the past. I bought this one because of the...
It would seem that you will likely be affected. Even though the patch antennae is passive, you will probably get reflective leakage. The only option would be to turn off K assuming it is not used...
Very scary. Has anyone had any experience against it or operating one (Roy?) Does this mean that laser counter measures are no longer effective?
The youtube is here. ...
Does anyone know much about it. It claims to be able to measure through trees. I would assume that it either users multiple beams or scan for stationary objects and memorize them.
Would a jammer...
With the latest Improvements in lidar, I was wondering if target acquisition was instant. In areas where it is illegal, it is good practice to turn the jammer off. But wouldn't those first seconds...
Now that my STi has been confiscated by the OPP, I am looking for a replacement. I am thinking of the Redline because of the Escort Live feature. I called Escort and they did not volunteer any...
Maybe solar flairs. :) These electronics devices get buggered up sometimes and need a reboot (just like Windows). I have also seen the display lock up and show "service required" after an hour of...
My tests also show that even old V1s have superior range than the STi (real live tests). Still, i am pleased with the range since it is sufficient. We are all limited by newer technologies in Ka...
Also bear in mind that the black box heats up in the summer and can get quite hot depending on where you live. This can cause the self-calibration to fail on startup if you have an older version of...
I have spoken to some LEO's in the past regarding the Stalker Ka gun and they were confident that they could track 2 vehicles in close proximity of each other. With the laser guns, they said that...
Just for clarrification, it was the local Barrie police not the OPP. Knowing that they have either borrowed or purchased lidar means that even driving in the city is not safe now.
The OPP have...
Doesn't hurt to have it calibrated just to ease your mind.
I have noticed in my travels that many state troopers angle their guns even when using I/O. Since you can't see them behind the bushes...
Just a reminder for those in lidar areas to not be too dependant on our STis. Local police have been playing with their new laser gun by hiding near the Molson arena parking lot pointing east in...
Chances are that there is some metal in the either the windshield or tint (even if they claim they don't). Another way to confirm this is to stick the STi out your window as a test.
I noticed a couple K-band speed signs and decided to test out a 1-year-old STi and a 5-year-old V1. My friend still drives with a V1 because he beleives that the low range for detection is adequate...
I received an 11 km K warning this summer. (My wife thought it was another false alert.) The LEO was on top of a long hill east of Collingwood. I was totally blown away. I guess given the right...
There are a couple ways to answer this:
1) After time, you will know what to expect e.g. X-band for the automatic door openner at Walmart. In tech mode, you may be able to see multiple bogeys if...
That's why they all shoot blanks. :lol:
X2. May also be the combo of the unit being on his seat. You would be surprised how many times they leave there gun on when putting it down to eat a...
X-band. If you pass through the area regularly, you will see if it is from buildings. You can try changing from Autoscan, City mode, City NoX (depending where you are).
Ka-band. If the gun was...
Open it up; you have little to lose. If the display still works and detects radar, you probably have the speaker problem. If the display works and no radar is detected, hopefully the sensors need...
It's better to go blind than go without the STi. The Spectre units will pick up the older RD and you will end up with a ticket and demerit points.
If you're not a speeder (and none of us are...
Your problem might not be related to what the common one was. The common problem is associated with the effect of heat on the unit and the inability to self-calibrate. You problem sounds like there...
It's very possible that the radar was bouncing off of something in front of it back to you at the 1st alert location. If the semi was directly in front of the radar gun, it would've been a large...
I called and the service rep knew of the 33.8 fix. He checked my address and told me that my detector that was sent in for repair on June 15th has the latest firmware. Anyone know the date of the...
I had the same experience. I've learned that you need laser counter measures (Veil, Blinder) in addition. Even lidar is getting better now.
