Hello

My husband has a radar detector and, while I was doing a Google search for an online instruction manual, your site came up.

I'm not sure of the protocol of posting this request here, if it breaches any of your rules please ignore it!

Would anyone be able to give me link to an online operating manual for a Cobra Trapshooter RD-3168? I'd appreciate it greatly. The number of multanova radars in our City seems to have increased markedly.

Many thanks from Perth Western Australia

Well, sadly the Cobra isn´t exactly the epitome of detector performance and you´d be much better served by getting a Bel 975R from http://www.radarbusters.com

Besides, the detector you have doesn´t have Ka-band on which the Multanova radars operate. Like I said, get a Bel 975R and get a dutch upgrade, which makes it invisible to the Spectre (the radar detector DETECTORS the Police in AUS use).

Thanks Crash, that's good information. I'm a novice with this sort of thing.....I don't even know if radar detectors are legal in WA.

Now I know what to get him for his birthday!

Cheers from scene

Australian conditions are very different to those
in North America.
See www.australianradar.com.au
Cobra units are not invisible to the Stalcar RDD.
Neither are Bel, Escort or Valentine

Yeah and Australia is also a lot more vigilant than here, but by the same token there are far more people using the devices.

listen to me on this i have researched it quite a bit before i purchased my radar,for WA most of out multinovas us the ka band plus of course the K band and laser so i worked it out the best for us is the Bel 990 or the latest Bel995 which should be coming soon next thursday hopefully and make sure you look at your mannual on how to turn of the X band (cause i'm pretty sure we don't use it any more "pretty sure") as to stop it going off at servo's and shopping centres most prices on the net are pretty much the same thou you can find some big differences watch out they might be some real good specials but its better to buy off roy as his prices are the cheapest ( i checked)and he has been around for years the other ones for some reason keep on having going out of business sales were lucky were not in the eastern states thier all RD's are banned but not good old WA :lol:

hey over there....

In Western Australia Radar detectors are actually LEGAL, so you wont need to worry about the Spectre/Scalar. WA is the only state that still permits RD

Wow, how is Perth these days? I was in Fremantle and Perth in 2000. I absolutely love your country, and I may move there some day.

I must say that Perth and Freemantle are much better places than Darwin. Darwin was pretty much a hot and humid hell hole!

The people of WA (Western Australia) are awesome.

Still an excellent setup would be a Bel 975R with a "wavebox" preventing signals from <20GHz from passing. This ensures complete undetectability of the detector, and you won't get X band radar - but Aus doesn't have X anyway! The 975R also has excellent Multanova range. That is definately what I would purchase if I was in Australia.

While WA permits detectors, I would still buy the wavebox and install it since it means you can drive anywhere like on vacation, etc and not have to worry.
