| Radar Detectors: Detailed descriptions and reviews of radar detectors.Radar Detectors are becoming increasingly popular thanks in part to the innovative Safety Warning System used throughout Perth. The internet is flooded with reviews, tests, opinions and evaluations of various radar detectors and laser jammers. The strange thing is, reviews of the same products by different people, often result in wildly different results. We even have documents showing some competitors test and review radar detectors that do not even exist... Subsequently we do not bother selling everything, only products we believe in and know for a fact work well in Australia. We also don't waste your time reviewing or rating products steering you into buy the most expensive radar detector or laser jammer on the market. It is clearly obvious that many reviews are bias and harbor a hidden agenda that favour particular products - usually with the ultimate aim of self promotion. We supply in Australia such radar detectors as the Valentine One, Escort 9500i, Whistler PRO-78 and Whistler XTR-690 and our exclusive GF100 laser jammer and Escort 9500ci combination radar detector with laser jammer. Our GPS enhanced video drive recorder is worth investigating. See what we believe makes the best radar detector?

What are radar detectors?Radar detectors, sometimes called a fuzz buster, is an electronic device used by motorists to determine if their speed is being monitored by a radar unit. To do so, police bounce a radio wave off of a moving vehicle with a radar gun or other radar device that determines the vehicle's speed by the Doppler-effect-moderated change in the wave's frequency. Most of today's radar detectors detect signals across a variety of wavelength bands – usually X, K and Ka (as well as Ku, in Europe, also recently approved for use in the U.S). Radar Scrambling Although some companies advertise that their radar detectors can 'scramble' or 'absorb' radar and LIDAR (such as Rocky Mountain Radar), many or all of their products do not affect radar and laser equipment due to the low power intake from the device versus the high power that bounces off a vehicle. Legality of Radar Detectors In some countries and areas, such as those listed below, using or possessing a radar detector is illegal and may result in fines, seizure of the device, or both. These prohibitions generally are introduced under the premise that a driver who uses a radar detector will pose a greater risk of accident than a driver who does not. However, some research has found that the opposite is true. The 2001 Mori report suggests that radar detector users posed a 28% less risk of accident. Belgium: In July 2006 a provisional seisure of a vehicle worth over 75.000 EUR itself was ordered by the courts, destruction of the radar detector itself and the driver's license was suspended for 3 months. Canada : Illegal: Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, the Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories. Regardless of whether they are used or not, police there may confiscate radar detectors, operational or not, and impose substantial fines in provinces where radar detectors are illegal. Germany 75€ fine , 4 Points, destruction of the radar detector Netherlands 250€ fine and seizure of the device (since 2004) Romania - legal since 2006 (although radar jammers still illegal) South Africa - illegal (defeating the ends of justice) Switzerland, destruction of the radar detector. The use of any GPS-based device to locate speed cameras is also illegal. United Kingdom, although not legal to own, but was technically illegal to use under a 1949 wireless act until 1998, due to legal loophole causing them to be legalized suddenly. The law will be changing in November 2008 to make all radar detectors illegal. United States law varies from state to state, but detectors are generally legal in private vehicles under the Communications Act of 1934[7] and illegal in commercial vehicles by DOT regulation (49 CFR 392.71). Exceptions: Illegal in all vehicles: Virginia, Washington D.C., U.S. military bases RDDs - Radar Detector Detectors RADAR detectors are built around a superheterodyne receiver, which has a local oscillator that radiates slightly, so it is possible to build a radar-detector detector, which detects such emissions (usually the frequency of the radar type being detected, plus about 10 MHz). The VG-2 Interceptor was the first device developed for this purpose, but has since been eclipsed by the Spectre III. [8] This form of "electronic warfare" cuts both ways - since detector-detectors use a similar superheterodyne receiver, many early "stealth" radar detectors were equipped with a radar-detector-detector-detector circuit, which shuts down the main radar receiver when the detector-detector's signal is sensed, thus preventing detection by such equipment. This technique borrows from ELINT surveillance countermeasures. In the early 1990s, BEL-Tronics, Inc. of Ontario, Canada (where radar detector use is prohibited) found that the local oscillator frequency of the detector could be altered to be out of the range of the VG-2 Interceptor. This resulted in detector manufacturers responding by changing their local oscillator frequency. Today, practically every radar detector on the market is immune to the VG-2 Interceptor. To date, the only radar detector that has been proven to be immune to all RDDs is the Beltronics STi Driver. Source: Wikipedia.
