Solo 2 Impressive

**Golderon** · 10-20-2006, 07:31 PM

I been using my Solo 2 for about 3 weeks now.. I am really impress of its performance. I usually use it on the highway and no false alarm whatsoever, and It hasnt failed me yet, everytime I get a Ka tone usually theres a pig coming from the oppoite direction. I say teh average range is about 1 - 1.5 miles. Today I got an Instant on, thought I got clocked but I was able to slow down. In total it has save me about 6 tickets. Paid for itself already.

So its that means they using 34.7 Ghz where I live? Sorry I am not familiar with the Ka's frequencies.

can u kindly pls tell me what is the minimum range can a pigs clocked you? I mean to get good reading? x, k, ka thanks

I am not an engeener , just an enthousiast.

As I understand : it is a 2 unknown equation

1) the Radar Cross Section of your car.

2) The transmit power of the gun and the sensitivity of the receiving circuitry.

And the Rcs of your car will be frequency related.

Your rd will pick-up the rf before the Leo can have a reading , not by much , the rf have to go back to the gun , but at light speed it is a matter of milliseconds depending your speed .

Surely many will have a link to actual distance ... :wink:

Last night was another encouter with pigs. Doing 85 on 65 when my SOLO 2 gave me a brief tone, then started getting stronger. I was looking at the opposite direction and i couldnt find a pig, 1 mile later I was coming up on top of the hill and then I saw the pig car ticketing someone who passed me 3 mins ago. I was like wow could have been me. The Rd went crazy @ about 1500 feet the funny thing is the car is facing back. When i passed it the tone died down. Also when I arrieved at the city , my RD went crazy again, notice there was a van park 1200ft on opposite direction, PHOTO radar. I am really happy with this RD, the only thing that didnt go off is the laser, still waiting for encounter.

I think SML or Roy did a test on that and it was something like 1.5miles for most radar guns with unobstructed LOS from the gun to the target. That being said, both the way speedtraps are set up, the way LEO's use their equipment, and the legal issues for writing tickets, outside of a 1/4 mile you should be safe.

As far as cordless goes you have the cream of the crop, not as good as a corded but really not much to worry. Its better than a crapra so as long as you have good eyes and pay attention when at speed, dont worry to much about peformance.

My solo saved me too, but it was very close. I was coming up over a small hill, prolly only doing about 10 over, but just before I got to the top the solo lit up and I slowed down. Sure enough, as I crested, there was an officer sitting in the middle of the divider, about 75-100 yards from where I was. Had I been going 15 over, I don't think I would've had enough time.
