Hey, where are all the good pics of radar detector guts? I've never taken one apart (although I have a good candidate) and was just curious. :?:

Well, I Wouldn't Want 2 Take my Detector Apart, and If u Take a RMR Apart It'll Juzt b a Giant Piece of poop Inside...
I think the FCC has pix. Jim has posted some inside shots, as well as other members.
Yeah, you can search the FCC site for lots of cool guts pictures... if you look in Whistler's forum I definitely saw XTR-690 and Pro-78 guts. IIRC there's spectre guts in the spectre forum too, and it looks like a cheap RD, I think there was even a hole where the laser detector diode was supposed to go!
Looks like InsertQuarter just made another quote worthy of JDS sig.
Im pretty sure if you take apart a radar detector, it voids the warranty. At least in V1's case.
Who's guts did you want to see? The X50's, the RX-65's, or the V1's guts?
Oh just any guts in general. I'm no electronics whiz or anything....just trying to satisfy the urge without dismantling anything. :lol:
Now I want to shove my STI's guts into a Cobra casing :lol:
good 9500I guts!

I do not know of any single thread or location here to post pics of radar internals, if that is what you are asking (although that would be a good idea). Additional guts are scattered around the forums, and just a few to be found are posted here:
BiGeAsYgUy posted this nice V1 mug shot which used to be a sticky here;

Is that an Atmega chip I see? Is that the primary processor on the 9500I? I would doubt so?Quote:

One ridge waveguide, reminds me of the old non laser radioshack detectors...Quote:

I would say > 90% "other circuitry"...Quote:

When I say "other circuitry," I don't mean filtering and the like, I guess I mean range/sensitivity.
