Used to be a radar detector would pick up signals from a radar gun in standy-by mode. If they aimed it down the road in your general direction, the detector would go crazy.
Most of the cops in our area now use instant on, seems like you only get a signal if it's aimed at you. That's not a lot of warning. Are the new radar detectors reliable enough to avoid getting caught ? Attached image(s) ![]() ![]() |

I think the reason modern radar detectors work against 'instant on' radar is that you aren't the only one targeted and your detector goes off because some poor fool three blocks ahead just got zapped. That is your warning.
One of the coolest innovations I have seen is the detector that doubles as a GPS navigation system with red light camera warning and speed trap warnings. That's a group buy I would be down for... |
