Where are you finding an STI Magnum for $399?!
I'll go, just gotta make it for Sat/Sun meeting. Damn, sold my V1 a month ago! Have a used X50 that's my RD until I decide which product I'm going with for the future (It'll most likely be an...
Most likely. But I did put the qualifier of "At one time or another", meaning they may or may not have had one in their car. It's probably likely a lot of people had cheapos in their cars, realized...
I'm willing to make a guess that up to 20% of all American drivers have had a RD at one time or another.
Of that 20%, probably 15% have bought, to quote Radar Roy, "Cheap-Ass Counterfeit...
Fair topic. You have can have the best counter-measures money can buy, but if you drive like an idiot, you're asking to get busted.
Of course, the most obvious method of not getting ticketed is...
PSL +8 is usually not a big deal.. +12-+15 is when you get the hammer.
Keep in mind, LEO's have been know to stand on overpasses and tag cars with LIDAR from behind. Then they simply radio ahead to the bears where they will pull you over. Of course, this is not done...
The LEO might find it amusing. I know they don't like the whole "Bad Cop, NO DONUT" bumper sticker. I've always been told if you have an RD, you're not getting a warning. Which is fair, because...
I chose the Magnum over the Redline specifically because of the superior rampup. However, Redline, due to an improved firmware, has slightly more sensitivity and range than the Magnum. If...
Not much you can do with Laser, except have a good Jamming system. The Valentine One, even though its considered by many to be the best in Laser Detection (via window mount), You're looking at about...
Ku is not used in North America. POP is not a legitimate way to obtain a persons speed. Even from the manual, POP is only supposed to be used as an estimate tool, or something in that regard.
Updated information: Okeechobee County, Okeechobee FL, USA
As of this posting, Okeechobee Police no longer use K band radar, strictly Ka only.
What you might encounter:
City Police: 35.5 Ka...
On my magnum, I usually use tech display. Depending on the frequency that comes up, I can usually identify which police agency I'm up against. (City PD 35.5 Mostly, some 34.7), (County PD 34.7...
There you go. One of the signals could've been a junker, the other actual. If you're on the highway, ANY Ka band detection should be taken seriously. ;)
If false-lockout is really your thing, the 9500ix is a winner, but it can have brutal rampup. Another good GPS based RD is the Beltronics GX65.
No problem guy, we are all here to help each other...
Could've been around a junk RD and a LEO. You didn't get a multiple bogey count? Out of tune RADAR gun?
There really isn't a need for Escort to copy arrows. I have said before I'm surprised no one makes a directional indicator based on the clock signal, a circle cut into 12 pieces, It wouldn't be...
What are your programmed settings on your V1?
LOL, yeah, it definitely does that around here. I suppose as long as there is plenty of cold beer, we'd be allright. Maybe we should do it in the fall, give a lot more people time to get ready.
...
Doesn't really bother me at night. I have it on its default setting. It's mounted as high as possible without obstruction. I should consider 'blacking out' the display, but I do like looking at...
Be careful out there Boss. Why do you turn off your Laser Jammers in the city anyway?
Would like to get something organized this summer. Have a RADAR/LIDAR testing meet, maybe a barbeque. With the high humidity that we have down here, we really put our stuff up to the test.
I was...
I still submit that performance is king in RD's. Everything else is secondary.
One of the problems is, performance is often sacrificed for better filtering.
What I really would like to see,...
Neither am I.
Even you can admit Mandingo, for the past ten years, Cobras RD's haven't been all that good. I've seen several come through my store, and for the most part, were unimpressive. The...
Have they heard of the Federal Communications Act of 1934? The citizens have to right to listen to any radio frequency, provided it does not have privileged information? RADAR does not have...
