What kind of radar detector is this?

[dewby]

It says its a Fox XK radar detector, I have never seen a RD with antenna on it.

Looks old as hell, I've heard of Fox but never seen one.

That don't look right

It's a vintage detector manufactured by ComRadar Corporation (Dayton, OH) during the 60s or 70s. It should detect X and K bands.

I think I have seen it somewhere at GOL's radar detector online museum.

Yup, I actually had a "Super Fox" remote mount detector in my 82 BMW...Alerts sounded like an Atari game.

That was my very first radar detector.

You guys are all wrong...

That's a rectal thermometer.

That's a rectal thermometer.

That's all it's good for now.


Another thread has gone the way of "poop".
As someone else said here, this forum has a poop problem.

Its a non-superheterodyne Fox, made in the early 1980's. There's supposed to be a second smaller antenna, but in the photos it appears broken off at the base. The larger antenna was for X band detection, the smaller for K band. Detection by today's standards is extremely poor, but it did do the job back in the day when the only threat was constant on X band.
