RX65 down under

[random101]

i acquired a V3.6 that had a faulty speaker that i had just replaced

anyhow i live in Aus (victoria)

and we have alot of contracted speed detector people from http://www.gatsometer.com/

they have the litting thing on the front of the car and u can hardly tell their there

anyhow

i was taking out the RX65 for a spin and i switched everything on and from the other side of the road had it pointed straight at the cars radar and well it hardly picked up anything .. .

anyhow the moral to this thread is A. is the 3.6 useless?

B. What are the settings i should have as i pick up just about everything..

p.s. it picked up K & X near the cars radar but the radar according to that site says it runs under Ku??
Edit i swear i read Ku according to this site
VICTORIA GATSOMETER K Band 24.125 GHz

eghh

random,
Don't know if this will help, but try tipping the unit on it's side. I read somewhere that those units radar beams are vertically polarized as opposed to horizontal. Someone else weigh in on this????

It doesn't make a big difference with Gatso if you mount RD vertically...but for Multanova detection you gain a lot if you mount RD vertical.
BTW,turn off X-band,it's not used in AUS.And turn SWS,Ku-band and POP off.Works better if you do this.

Cheers i did pick up alot of X lol

it picked up all the fixed cameras on a high way i was reall happy about that

hey random,i really wouldn't risk using anything other then the bel STI (cant be detected by a radar detector detector) in victoria as i dont know if your aware but there's an $1100 fine,5 demerit points and confiscation of the detector

[random101]

i know there was a fine but not 5 demerit points :O


is it an obvious pick up ?

[antilag]

it comes down to luck really,if there detector detector goes off around you they will swivel it around until they isolate the car then your in trouble

the chances of getting caught are low,best not to risk it though
