Radar and Laser Detectors – What really works?

Author: admin  |  Category: bel radar detectors

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) August 16, 2004

It seems like there’s a million different products out there claiming to shield your vehicle from the all-intrusive electronic arm of the law. There are companies claiming that everything from plastic license plate covers to liquid spray will effectively evade the radar and lasers of the boys in blue. But many of these products are really designed for one thing only – fleecing consumers. The solution to overcoming police radar and laser technology is found in technology that can detect and/or evade police speed guns. In this article we’ll be discussing factors to consider when purchasing a radar/laser detector, and also which models offer the best protection for the price.

There are currently three bands of radar utilized by the police. X-band was the first to be put into use, followed by K-band in the 70’s, and now the latest – the Ka-band. All of these different bands are easily picked up by any radar detector of reasonable quality. However, different radar detectors have very different range and signal discrimination. There are a lot of signals out there that can set off a radar detector, including everything from microwaves to garage door openers. A good radar detector will have the ability to discriminate between such signals and actual police radar.

With laser speed readers, commonly utilized by highway cops, there are other issues to take into account. There are two types of laser trap prevention – laser detectors and laser jammers. In every state other than Virginia and the District of Columbia, radar and laser detectors are perfectly legal to keep in your vehicle – however, the legality of laser jammers and laser scramblers vary from state to state. Either way, 360 degree detection is a necessity, as police will appear from almost any angle. Since laser is a much more focused beam, usually spanning the hood of your vehicle, it can be more difficult to detect. So you’re going to want a device with a long range of detection. If you’re driving down the road and a law officer is reading speeds a mile down the road, the chances of you picking up the signal with a quality detector are fairly good.

One of the finest models on the market right now is the Escort 8500 X50 (http://www.radarsource.com/escort-passport-8500.htm). It features a radar detection range of 1.5 miles, picks up all frequencies of radar, and has 360 degree protection. It features full laser detection with long range accuracy. The Escort 8500 X50 is frequency upgradeable, meaning that the microprocessor can be reprogrammed to combat future radar and laser technology.

Another high-quality model is the Beltronics “Bel” RX65 Pro (http://www.radarsource.com/beltronics-rx65.htm). Special features include 3 different modes of selectivity, allowing you to determine the sensitivity of detection based on your surroundings, Ku-band detection allowing you to take your Bel RX65 Pro to Europe and utilize it there, and also includes Shadow Technology to evade radar detector-detectors.

The Beltronics RX65 Pro is comparable in price to the Escort 8500 X50. Both are available with rush shipping from RadarSource.com (http://www.radarsource.com), an authorized dealer of both Beltronics and Escort Radar Detectors. Their customer service staff is knowledgeable, and readily available to help you decide which radar detector is the right one for you and your radar detection needs.

Author: admin  |  Category: bel radar detectors

Have you ever been fined for speeding. Most people would have received the ticket, especially today’s younger generation. Either because they are in a hurry to reach somewhere or simply because they love the thrill of speeding. So, haven’t you ever thought that it would be great if you were warned of a policeman around the corner?

Well, here is good news for speed lovers. Fix a radar detector on your vehicle and you can be aware of the police officers in the area in advance, and thus you can avoid receiving a seeding ticket. Radar detectors help you to save a lot of money too. These detectors detect the beam from a police officer’s speed gun and warns you with a beep sound, so that you can slow down.

There are so many manufacturers of car radar detectors. A few features, like the most popular and sort out brand, less false alarm feature, laser detection facility, with digital voice alert, with VG-2 protection etc. will help you to choose the best radar detector. Apart from this you have to consider the size and price also. Now let’s see which are some of the best radar detectors. Based on various tests and evaluation it has been found out that the best radar detectors are:
1.Beltronics Radar Detectors
2.Escort Radar Detectors and
3.Valentine Radar Detectors.

Bel radar detectors manufactured by Beltronics, has introduced many models of detectors with various features. The Beltronics Sti Radar, comes with multiple laser sensors and with TotalShield technology and it is very simple to use. The Bel Victor 995, with multi sensor laser protection is very easy to use and provides 10 times more sensitivity than other detectors and the Beltronix RX65 Radar Detector has voice alerts and safety warning systems, but it is not recommended for use in Australia.

Talking about Valentine Radar Detectors, you can choose Valentine 1 Radar detector, which antennas and laser sensors both in the front and the rear. Similarly Escort has also come up with many different models of radar detectors like Escort 9500ix Radar detector which is a GPS radar detector.

Although radar detectors are a very useful device for all motorists, you have to be very careful, because most of the countries have banned its usage and according to the radar detector laws, you can be fined for using it illegally.

The Ins And Outs Of Laser Radar Detectors

Author: admin  |  Category: escort radar detectors

Many of us have had the feeling of anxiety, having been brought to a halt along the side of a road by some flashing lights and a siren. You were speeding, and it has caught up with you. Speed traps are all over and they can sometimes be difficult to recognize or locate until after you have a ticket in your hand. Radar guns have made it hard to go faster than the law permits, until the production of laser radar detectors.You should be made aware that police officers do not look to kindly on the sight of a radar detector in a vehicle. While they can be very helpful to assisting you in not getting pulled over for speeding, you should avoid getting pulled over for anything else with one installed.Laser radar guns are the most effective method that police now have to catch and penalize speeding citizens. The early forms of radar guns required the officer to remain stationary to get the most accurate reading. With the new laser guns, a beam of light is emitted and can very accurately determine your speed, whether the officer is moving or not.When the vehicle is hit with the light, it relays the information back to the police officer in the form of the difference mathematically. For instance, if a police officer is traveling at 60 MPH and his bounce back indicated 20 MPH, your vehicle is traveling at 80 MPH, and you are most certainly in line for a hefty fine.There are different types of radar guns, and the advancements of the detectors have been able to handle them all. With the laser detectors, the beam shot at the car to register your given speed is reflected back with a new informational beam from the detector. This will not register any actual figures, but rather scramble the results so that they are inconclusive. The detectors main job is to warn you of the potential to be gunned at any given time.There are a lot of different names and companies that make decent detectors for a pretty reasonable price. You have to think of it as an investment. The more you put into it, the more you are likely to evade in essence. Names like Cobra, Beltronics, and Escort all have very good reputations and reviews, but they will likely cost you more than lesser-known brands.Laser radar detectors are a definite aid for anyone in a hurry. If you think of the tickets you won’t be paying, spending a little bit of money to keep yourself in the clear is a wise move.
