Technology today allows all new radars (both Laser and In-car Ka band radars) to be "paused". This allows the radar to be ready to transmit a signal and obtain speeds at the push of a button or pull of a trigger. By pausing the signal, your radar will not detect anything because there is no signal to detect. Once the Officer transmits a signal, your speed is obtained and your radar detector will go off...... but it will be too late at that point to slow down AND when the officer observes his radar jump from 70 down to 55, he will know your using a radar detector.

If your looking at purchasing a detector for passive reasons (know when your coming up on an accident, known speed areas, out of town etc), go buy a cheap wal-mart unit and call it good. The best, most expensive radar detector will NOT save you if an Officer is doing what he's been trained to do.

Horosho ti prav, but it still helps tho I mean not every single time like 70 out of 100%. It's ok not a big deal. Today for some reason I picked up all of them... weird really weird!

Also, today when I went to work earl AM I made a fast turn switching from express left lane to right lane and there was an SUV infront in the middle lane as soon as I switched to right lane I seen the Highway Patrol aiming at me with the laser gun and then my radar went off... WTF! it was too late. I'm also packing 3% tints all around and 20% on the windshield I don't think that's the problem I don't have those bronze or red looking tints I have normal tints not any metallic and The radar is below the factory tint on the windshield!

Anyone can tell me what's going on?
You were hit with LIDAR (laser).

The difference with LIDAR and RADAR can be summed up with the following analogy: RADAR is like taking a bucket of tennis ***** and throwing them out at once where they will hit a number of targets. Some of the ***** will hit the closest target which report in the strongest target signal on the radar, some will hit the fastest car, and show up in the fastest target signal, while other ***** will hit many other cars that aren't reported, and one will hit you way before it cn return to the radar unit, so you can slow down and not get a ticket. Laser is taking one ball, and aiming it just at you. As soon as it hits you ( actually just takes 1/3 of a second) your speed is recorded.

You need laser jammers.

Pretty much, and some have a hold button even when they are using the radar like if they are parked they can just press hold till your car is near then release it and then your radar will go off, happened to me twice but was obeying the law....

Don't google radar roy. He only recommends radar detectors he sells.

Ok then what detector you want to see tested? It's just a reference guide for users. I tested detectors back before they were superheterodyne.

Try radardetectorforum.org I think ou would llke it there.

I run a Bel STiR+, V1 and a Redline to run LIVE. Once they ship LIVE for the STiR+, I will sell the Redline.

What feature from live do you want in the STiR+ (BTW nice choice of detectors)?

"pausing" the radar signal is old technology. It's been around since K-band Radar was first introduced to law enforcement in the late 70's. It is not used in several States because of Court rulings dealing with self calibration, target acquisition, Judges who don't like instant on and other reasons with pausing the signal.
A good Radar detector in the hands of an experienced driver will save you countless tickets.

The LIVE alerts are what I am interested in. Unfortunately, I haven't seen many of them yet.
