Radar detectors

Post by Lou Girardin » Fri Nov 30, 2001 8:25 am

There's not much defence against 'instant on', quick reactions will help
against Hawk units but Eagle and Stalker are more sophisticated with quicker
lock on time. A good detector will pick up the pulse when a car ahead is
zapped, up to 3-4 km with the valentine. But the rule is '1st in line, cops
the fine'!
As far as laser is concerned, forget it! No detector will protect against it
except under the most ideal conditions. It's too quick and the beam is to
narrow for a detector to pick it up before you"re nailed. The only defence
is a laser jammer. These are brilliant, the look on a revenue collectors
face when he gats a zero reading on the read-out is priceless.
