I just got sick of things not working on here. Although I don't post too often nowdays, I've been on here since 2005 and it was sad to see the forum in such disrepair. Another guy used to maintain...

No, you're not imagining it. It was probably my "Radar Verifier" software:

They started sellimg them mid-1978, but only sold a few hundred a month until Car & Driver tested them in February 1979, and sales exploded after that. I'm pretty sure they started the Serial Numbers...

Basically, if it has sensitivity knobs, it is NOT superhetrodyne.

Heh, pretty cool. That thing looks built like a tank!

On the top label, it says "By APO", so I'm pretty sure the label on the front says "APO Sales Company". There was also a registration for a...

I -think- that this model was the first superhetrodyne radar detector available.

A lot of people think the first superhetrodyne radar detector was the original Escort, which was actually the first...

According to Nine_C1, it's "Colorado Microwave Incorporated".

Here's a video that Outrun made back in 2005:

Cincinnati Microwave never made radar guns. One main reason some people think that is because they might believe the "CMI Speedgun" was made by "Cincinnati Microwave Inc", but they were two...

Really? I was always of the understanding that the V1 sweeps K and Ka simultaneously... unless that is old technology now :D

I haven't really looked at this lately, but I know:

- The Belscort S7's used a Motorola/Freescale MC68HC908GP32 (older models used similar)
- Older V1 models used a Motorola MC68HC705C9ACFN

Wow, someone has to be VERY confident in their product to actually want GOL to test it ;)

Hmmmmmm......

Looks similar to this:
Super-cat JS-1 alarm/radar detector, anyone know it? : Nissan Audio / Entertainment / Security

According to Michael B (Whistler rep) 7 to 10% of drivers use radar detectors.

Michael B suggested the testing method, AND provided us with the foam.

But to be completely fair, the testing method was suggested by someone from one of the other detector companies too. And we...

Welcome to the forum!

Not that I am aware of. You can check the IACP standards:

If you know that it's just a cold solder joint, and really want it fixed, just curious why you don't just open it up and solder it yourself?

If you are really willing to pay ("dearly" :)), I'm...

If you live in Colorado, you may be able to just pay it and move on without any other consequences. It appears that Colorado may not assess points for minor out-of-state infractions:
