Caught !

There was a picture posted on here one time of the OPP's "Wall of Shame" where they display their confiscated detectors.

Ok, found it:



Nice collection of Cobras...

lmao. wow!

That is some kind of bad luck for you.As much as i would hate to part with the VI,i am glad you are getting the sti driver.I have both and they work quite good.With the sti driver,nothing now nor the near future would be able to detect it as it does not leak.
...and watch those u-turns..
keep us posted with the performance of the sti...

I'd really like to know how that screen name is still available.

Yeah, no $h!+!

I dont understand why any radar detector would need to send out a signal..
They are suppose to detect, not to send out signals.
I need to do some reading about it, I am a bit confused about it my self

See Superheterodyne receiver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Almost all modern receiver circuitries are superhet -- they detect low-strength signals by mixing it with a local oscillator signal and postprocessing the mixed signal.

This process does require a locally active transmitter -- though it's not meant to be broadcast, it is somewhat detectable, and Spectre has designed RDD's that detect this leakage (in fact, they are nothing more than radar detectors tuned to a different frequency!)

There's two methods of combatting RD detection:

(1) Move your local oscillator to a different frequency not previously known as a radar detector's signature.
(2) Shield your LO well enough to make its emissions not detectable (for practical purposes) while not compromising detection distance
(3) Detect the RDD's LO and shut yourself off before they detect you.

#1 is easily defeated by the Spectres, which offer routine firmware updates with new LO frequencies. Since RD designs have to be approved by the FCC, this gives them plenty of time to add new signatures.

#2 is used by the STi and its cousins.

#3 was used for evading the VG-2 but not employed by any detector against the newest Spectres. It's unclear to me why it's not tried, and I've yet to get a clear answer here either why this wouldn't work.

There's an echo in here, lol.

I hate it when I spend fifteen minutes on a brilliant post, then someone comes along thirty seconds later and bumps the thread to a new page so no one will ever see it.

[KnightHawk]

But seriously, how do you guys in Canadia and Virgina live with such faggotry?

How? Traveled through Virginia lately on I-81 border to border with my V1 turned on ONLY WHILE DRIVING IN A GROUP OF 6-7 VEHICLES with my RD not visible from the outside.

I haven't driven a state like Virginia where median passes are less than a mile apart. One good thing about it though is that you see a sign that says "Authorized Vehicles Only". Just look for that sign and go to PSL and if you see LEO, turn off your RD and watch your back. It works most of the time. But it's not 100% perfect.

I hope people read through all posts anyway

Sorry if I rained on your superhet lecture; that wasn't my intention.

BTW, the holes drilled in the V1 I believe are for its temperature sensors for digital temp compensation. This feature allows the V1 to more precisely detect when its circuitry is out of tune, so it can compensate or give the user an error.

Ah, thanks! I knew I had heard something like that, but wasn't sure. I'm still pretty new to this whole business, so I don't know a lot of the history. Do you know when that change was made? Was it before RDDs came out?

[Red Turbo Tegg]

So how far out can spectre get you? Are we talking regular radar distances or what? If RDs false, then do RDDs? What causes them to false? Do cops just ride around with thier RDDs on? Even if it wasn't invisible to the spectre, there should be a warning tone letting you know that it's in the area. Is that feasable? Or when it's detected, there should be a kill switch were it just turns off. I'd like to know more about this even though I don't live in a banned state. Sometimes I have to go through Virgina during trips.

[hockey005]

depending on wat model v1 you have it the spectre cant pick it up from that far...i think the ones pre digital temperature sensor? are harder to pick up then the ones with it...for canada u just need to have an STi..but if u are gona go thru VA or canada with an RD that is not stealth then i would have a navi up a the same time...navigations sometime set off the spectre i believe so you could argue that you have been pulled over before and dont have an RD and sometimes ur navi sets it off
