![]() ![]() of warning, or 14+ seconds of warning against C/O if driving at PSL. The next group of detectors also did really well giving 1500+ ft. After that it was a beast.Īll of these detectors did an excellent job of picking up the officer ahead with plenty of advanced warning to spare. Something was very wrong so I double checked my antenna connections and power cycled (I normally drive with the NR DSP unplugged and I plugged it in just before starting the test passes). Strangely the first detection it gave was only 717 feet (not shown). The Net Radar DSP managed to be the top performer in this test which was extremely impressive. (Lower end detectors gave just a few seconds of warning which may not be enough if you’re driving faster than the limit and especially if the officer is using instant on…) At that speed you’d have a full 22 sec before entering the kill zone, impressive for a very challenging situation. Here were the best performers able to alert over 2,000 feet away: Without further ado, let’s get into the results and some discussion regarding the rankings of different detectors, including important things we learned that you won’t see in the test charts: I brought 3 radar guns and we only had time to run 1. There were some bad runs we discarded and reruns that we did for various reasons, 92 test passes total over 7 hours, lol. ![]() ![]() Because of this, we did multiple runs per detector.Įvery detector was configured the same: latest firmware, X off, K on, Ka 2/4/5/6/8 when available, 2/5/8 otherwise, Ka filters off (except for testing both on and off with the Pro M), and MRCD/CT off. Other times the detectors did a little better, maybe because a car helped reflect some signal around the bend and down range to the detector. Sometimes the detectors did a little worse when there was a car in front of the radar gun, maybe because the car blocked some of the radar signal. Traffic was very light, though sometimes it did seem to affect the results. ![]()
