detectors are tested

7 different radar detectors are tested against a LTI Ultralyte 100 LR speed laser gun to determine which radar(laser) detector is the best unit for alerting to a laser hit on your car. This test was done at 200m distance. Detectors tested: Bel STi-R remote, Bel STi, Cobra 9930, Escort X50, Whistler Pro-78, XTR-690, V1.



There are three bands of police RADAR. They are labeled "K," "KA" and "X."

Some RADAR detectors will pick up all three, some only get one or two. Some even detect Police LASER units.

They work by detecting radio waves in the frequency bands as labeled. If the unit is not transmitting, no detection. If the police car (undercover, etc) doesn't HAVE a RADAR unit, no detection. See?

As far as I'm concerned, they only have one use, and that's to help you break the law without getting caught.
