Radar Detector Experts

E-RadarDetectors.com Provides an Overview of Motorcycle Radar Detectors

(PRWEB) October 8, 2005

According to E-RadarDetectors.com, standard radar detectors were not built for motorcycles and were never intended to be used on them. Most detectors use an audio device to inform the driver that radar had been detected, and are therefore inappropriate for motorcycle riders because they cannot be heard.

Manufacturers now produce cordless detectors with an earphone jack so that the rider can hear alerts. For instance, BEL has released a model specifically for motorcycles, while Escort and Whistler make models with earphone jacks.

The Escort Passport 8500 X50 is among the most popular for motorcycle riders. In addition to an ear phone jack, this model is highly sensitive to X-band, K-band and Ka-band radars. When set in its “ExpertMeter” mode, this model allows the rider to see up to eight radar signals, as well as their individual bands and strengths, simultaneously. In addition, the display brightness settings include a “dark mode” for stealth use. One method of installation for this model is to tie the 8500 into the rider’s helmet speakers using a common universal stereo mini-plug patch cord. The unit can be mounted with suction cups to the windshield.

Although the niche for motorcycle radar detectors continues to grow, most models will still lack in at least one area. Thankfully, most detector retailers sell attachments that allow cordless models to be converted for use with motorcycles.

ESCORT “Cash for Clunkers” program for a limited time

West Chester, OH (PRWEB) September 8, 2009

ESCORT Inc., maker of the world’s best radar and laser detectors, announced today an added incentive for drivers using older model radar detectors — “Cash for Clunkers” radar detector Trade-In program. For a limited time, ESCORT radar will give customers $ 80 credit when they trade in their old out-dated detector on a new one from ESCORT. “We are excited about the opportunity to offer customers an easy way to increase their protection and get paid for doing it!” said Tim Coomer, ESCORT’s Vice-president of Marketing. “Just like the incentive to trade older cars for more fuel efficient models, we want radar detector owners to trade their old detectors for new technology that offers complete protection against all the latest threats,” he added. “Most drivers, who are using older detectors, are not aware that they are driving around with a false sense of security because they don’t receive signals from the latest threats,” said Coomer.

ESCORT’s “Cash for Clunkers” Trade-In program applies to any brand detector when purchased directly from ESCORT.

ESCORT “Cash for Clunkers” Trade-In program — just makes good sense

Like other consumer electronics, law enforcement radar and laser guns have changed dramatically over time. And because those changes alter the guns’ characteristics, older detectors cannot detect them and therefore won’t alert. ESCORT continues to drive innovation by developing new technologies and incorporating them into their products to meet these challenges.

ESCORT–owner of more than 85% of all radar detector patents

ESCORT Inc. is the undisputed leader in designing and adopting new innovations and patented radar detector technologies. ESCORT has an industry winning radar detector designed to meet all of the latest threats. For example, ESCORT developed the world’s first internet ready, GPS based radar detectors–the PASSPORT 9500ix windshield mount model and the PASSPORT 9500ci custom-installed version. Both models established a new technology standard by introducing patented features including AutoLearn™ artificial intelligence. AutoLearn™ uses GPS technology to automatically eliminate false alerts by indexing their exact location and frequency.

Both the PASSPORT 9500ix and the 9500ci radar detectors are designed to alert to red light and fixed position speed cameras. “The majority of radar detectors being used can’t alert to the fastest growing threat drivers face today — the rapid increase in the number of red light and fixed position speed cameras being installed all across North America!” said Coomer. Both detectors meet this ever-increasing risk by incorporating the ESCORT Defender™ database, which identifies these threats well in advance. In addition, the Defender™ database includes the top speed traps throughout North America. The Defender™ database can be easily updated through the ESCORT website.

Redline™–the longest radar detector range on the planet

Always innovating, ESCORT has just released the all new RedLine™ radar and laser detector. For ultimate long range sensitivity, RedLine’s™ test-shattering performance represents another leap forward in detector technology for the industry. The sensitivity of the new RedLine™ can be attributed to its unique “twin turbo” receiver design which incorporates a patented twin antennae system and dual LNA’s (low noise amplifiers). This technique allows RedLine™ to provide unprecedented range and performance by band, which provides the earliest warning possible. RedLine™ is the new long range champion. RedLine™ begins shipping in mid-September.

Before one studies about radar detector reviews, it is of utmost importance that one understands what radar detectors are and what they are majorly used for. They are devices that pick up electromagnetic signals from the radar guns of patrolmen and policemen and help drivers and riders by preventing them from ticketing because of over speeding. Now that you know what it does, here are some reviews about some types of them that will help you in choosing which radar detector serves the best for you.

The Escort radar have been rated some of the best that are commercially available today. These are exhibit high-class improved detection range with a V-tuned detector, which makes use of the state of the art microwave-like receiver along with a proprietary software, which render ultra-high sensitivity to these radar and make them a preferred choice over the instant-on and conventional device. These detectors offer more range on Ka-band and K band.

The other type of detecting radar that are making a lot of buzz are the BEL (Beltronics) radar. These are known for their frequencies that they exhibit. In addition to this, these radar offer complete value for price because of their sheer performance. The best out of these is the Beltronics 955 that provides you with the performance of the vector range of detectors from this company.

In the list of radar detector reviews, we will also bring into limelight the Whistle range of radar detectors. These detectors help you in reaching your destination safely and quickly. These have been manufactured with a cutting edge technology that helps them gain an edge over their competitors. Owing to this feature, these have also been given the top position in the ratings. The Whistle type help you by making you remain updated and alert always on the highway and give you complete insight on the traffic conditions.

ESCORT Inc’s Industry Leading Radar Detectors Silence Annoying Traffic Monitoring False Alerts with Proprietary TSR Rejection Software

ESCORTRadar.com

West Chester, OH (PRWEB) October 11, 2010

ESCORT Inc, the leading manufacturer of premium automotive electronic accessories and maker of the world’s best radar and laser detectors, announced its expanded efforts to help make drivers and radar detector owners aware of ESCORT’s proprietary solution for silencing annoying false alerts generated by traffic flow monitoring systems. “Radar detector users are experiencing some very annoying false alerts originating from K-band traffic flow sensors—the good news is that ESCORT has products to help you drive smarter and avoid these false alerts,” said Dave Smidebush, Vice-president of Marketing. “Radar detector users who drive where traffic flow sensors are in use are experiencing dramatic increases in their detectors’ false alerts—only ESCORT has a solution for ending this problem,” he added.

Originally deployed and tested in the nation’s highest density traffic regions, the success of the autonomous K-band traffic monitoring systems has led to their rapid growth and placement along traffic routes traveled by every day drivers. The sensors, placed one mile apart, are solar powered, have no wires and begin collecting and transmitting traffic data immediately. The K-band signals used in the monitoring process send false alerts to radar detectors—the sensors turn on and off cycling about once each minute. With hundreds of sensors along major routes, the level of annoyance can be intense. The outlook is for continued expansion of the use and installation of the traffic flow measurement systems and K-band sensors. ESCORT radar detectors with the proprietary Traffic Sensor Rejection (TSR) software prevent the false alerts generated by the presence of the traffic flow sensors.

ESCORT’s proprietary TSR feature is user-selectable and can be engaged for rejection of the K-band false alerts, or, the feature can be easily disabled by drivers not exposed to the traffic monitors. TSR enabled ESCORT radar detector models include: PASSPORT 9500ix GPS-enabled windshield mounted radar and laser detector, PASSPORT 8500 X50 and the ESCORT REDLiNE windshield mounted radar and laser detectors, and the PASSPORT 9500ci and PASSPORT Qi45 Custom Installed radar and laser detector systems.

“Similar to our responses to previous obstacles in the radar detector industry including the FCC mandated Oscillator redesign of all radar detectors, the introduction of laser guns, and now false alert K-band traffic sensor sources, ESCORT is the first and only radar detector company to overcome and solve another unforeseen barrier,” said Tim Coomer, Vice-president of Product Development.

Known as the category leader and innovator, ESCORT has developed many of the world’s radar detector ‘firsts’ including the first internet ready, GPS based radar detectors—the PASSPORT 9500ix windshield mount model and the PASSPORT 9500ci custom-installed version. Featuring ESCORT’s patented TrueLock™ feature, which uses GPS technology to eliminate false alerts by indexing their exact location and frequency, and ESCORT’s patented AutoLearn™ feature, which automatically analyzes all incoming signals and automatically eliminates false signals, ESCORT continues to lead the category with the addition of the TSR software. “ESCORT’s patented features including built-in intelligence, make ESCORT radar detectors the most accurate and reliable radar detectors on the road,” Coomer added.
