GOL RADAR SHOOTOUT TEST 1/28/06

Guys we will be holding a radar testing session on 1/28/06. Thus far we will be testing the Escort DSP (1991), Valentine One, RX65, X50, STI, and some older ones. This will strickly be a radar test. We MIGHT sneak in a LIDAR detection on the STI to see if it is really improved on LIDAR detection. We should be able to nail this in one day. We will not be video taping do to time constraints. We will be taking plenty of pics though. Any equipment donations (loaning) would be greatly appreciated. This is what we need:

STI
Kustom KA gun


We are NOT making any money of this (like always), this is for us and the forum to see what is the best and for our education

Would be real great to see the STi versus the old DSP :lol: A friend of mine in PA swears by his PASSPORT. Yep, a real 22 year old PASSPORT :shock:

If we have time we'll try that too :lol:

How about getting the DF2 and the AL6 (and some of the older ones for reference) and do a new-jammer first contact as well? 8) 8)

* no videos needed for verification, just the reported figures, GOL already has a reputation of being honest.

May I suggest that the generations of CMI detectors be tested? I realize this may add time, but it will certainly clarify the apochryphal ranking of detectors. I have my opinions based on owning a flock of radar detectors (no GULs, though) and I believe the 2nd gen Escort DSPs have the fewest falses (from Cobras) and modern Ka sensitivity.
The generations:
Original Escort
Passport
DSP (Motorola)
2nd-gen DSP, including 4500,4600,5000,6800,7500.
7500S (?)
8500,X-50 are Motorola DSP.

I'll supply a 5000 and an original Escort if interested.

Sorry no laser jammer tests this time. But, we will do one in the future as soon as production versions of both of these jammers are in the marketplace.

If I only drove in PA, I'd have a Passport or a DSP, too.

We'll see what happens and how much time we have. No need to send your 5000, I might have a couple :wink: I would be very surprised if the detectors you listed for "2nd Gen DSP" were even close to todays sensitivity on any band. But, maybe we'll find out for sure.

What do you know about the GUL detectors? Were't those early units by Beltronics or something?

Cool. Imma lil confused. From the 2005 GOL shootout. The k,ka,x test that shows the mark of each detec. I see the V1 was at the top of each graph how many feet was it from the gun to where yall marked the detector reading?

Do you guys think that we should keep the same location or should I start to scout for a new one?
