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)

Real hardcore speeders use stealth technologies.
Hitachi microwave oven paint is good at absorbing radiated energy. 3-4 layers of special paints have been designed to absorb crtain frequencies of laser energies. Yer flat surface of a license plate needs to be angled to reflect both light and microwaves to a safe place, or covered with an energy absorber. And, the real hardcore guys I knew built radar jammers that send back a signal to the sender. One guy liked to send back a "55" mph signal, another guy liked "0" mph, and another guy liked "-55" mph. They did military jammers for a living. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Ken |
