is there such a thing...like that detects if a spectre is scanning for RD leakage
More importantly.. Are there radar detector detector detector detectors?
Yes -- many if not most detectors come with a VG-2 detector that scans for VG-2 leakage.
As far as Spectre, it is unclear to me why nobody's made a spectre detector. They apparently leak very close to Ku-band although IIRC the signal shifts around during operation. In fact, there's been a few reports of a Ku-band detector falsing to Spectres, though it is unclear if that is indeed the case.
jdong, two things
-does it detect the vg-2 before or after the vg-2 has detected you?
-the coding in you profile doesnt work
For most detectors, the detector itself is VG-2 immune. Its leakage is on spectrums that the VG2 doesn't check for. It only alerts you for the sake of being a cop-detector.Quote:

It should on Linux with iptables ;-)Quote:

Sorry, this is a little off topic.....
As far as the Iptable is concerned, it worked fine on SmoothWall.
What I have done is just used the Adblock extension in Firefox.
It just keeps it from displaying.... works well.
lol, it's really awesome to see a population of *nix geeks here :)
I feel right at home.
*contemplates making a Radar Detector section at UbuntuForums....* :D

I then turn on the Spectre III and the Spectre III detects the Cobra while the Cobra doesn’t detect it (radar detector detector detector detector).
I also do the same thing with a Whistler 1788 since it shuts down the oscillator and leaves you vulnerable as jdong mentioned.Quote:

The VG2 alert will persist this time. It will check for VG2 again in 30 second intervals, and when it finally fails to find VG-2, it sounds a double-beep all clear tone.
I don't believe the V1 has a "vg2" detection feature or bell products such as the 995. However, I believe Cobra does have a feature like that though.Quote:

I hope everybody understands that...
EDIT: In other words, as long as your Spectre/VG-2 detection is built into a regular RD, you can always use the Spectre to detect the Spectre Detector. Yes that rhymes, nothing I can do about it.
Yes, But Wat About Having 2 Find a Radar Detector Detector Detector Detector Detector Detector?
Oh go away.
Alas, It Must b Undetectable...
