Difference between IO & QT

I had two saves yesterday thanks to a rabbit about 1/4 mile ahead. Both K band.
In both instances the LEO was in a mobile coming at me. The RD burst was approxmately 2-3 seconds. I am curious what I was hit with.

You were probably hit with instant-on. I believe quick trigger is defined as less than a second but it might be quicker than that.

I/O:

QT:

If you received it on a Belscort detector, it wasn't QT. ;)

I define QT as any radar shot that is too fast for your detector to alert to it. That could be anywhere from a fraction of a second to several seconds long.

Yes, It was recieved on a STi R. Would a V1 alert to it, albiet then too late?

No way to tell from just the info you have given us. No detector is going to save you from point blank IO, whether you receive it or not. But the strength of the V1 is that it consistently picks up QT, so you can get the alerts as he shoots cars way ahead of yours.

Great illustrative vids snoopy. Should be required viewing.

I tested my STi-R with CFL and it did batter than any other belscort product I have tried. (Segmenting makes it even better against QT)

It's still not as consistent on QT as my V1 though.

In that case there's plenty of detector that would define C/O as QT.

I'd say Q/T is approx half a second, but defined as an officer using the minimum time possible to get a single speed reading.
