Thread: hello from pa

  1. #1

    Default hello from pa

    New to this forum but has used my escort x50 for 4 to 5 years now. I just moved to PA and it seem though that it doesn't pick up any cops. Which i don't get, cause in NJ it picked almost them all up.

    Police in Pennsylvania are not allowed to use moving radar. Only stationary. Watch out for that VASCAR though.

    moving radar? I'm lost, what do you mean by that. I see them sitting on the on ramps but i go by and nothing happens on my radar but i see them pulling over people.

    They're probably using VASCAR, which is basically timing cars as they travel between two points. No radar detector can detect that. The other option is LIDAR. which is very hard for radar detectors to detect, but even if they do, it's too late.

    Instant on K will be your biggest threat by far, followed by CO K, then IO KA, and CO KA. Turn off X and laser.

    Just found out the hard way that some don't use radar. $170 dollar ticket 23 over from a 65 to 55 zone. Ugh. Ticket says 78.2 in a 55 via uspec. I'm not sure what that is. Then below it says speed timing device operator - self miles timed .1527 secs time 6.09. Does this mean he was following me? It took him a while to catch up to me with his lights on so i know he wasn't behind me.

    That's VASCAR and I warned you about it twice in this very thread.

    Yeah i know. I guess my radar is kind of pointless now in PA. Have to really watch my speed now, don't want to hit that 6 point mark.

    Probably ENRADD, but they both time drivers between two points and are both undetectable.
