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.
