To my knowledge....all radar detectors are also transmitters....and their emissions are what are detected. Keep this in mind....it is against Federal Rules to have a "radar detector" in a CMV. Not only would a CMV driver be fined, but the device would be confiscated.

Also, even if someone came out with an "undetectable radar detector", on Monday at 8AM, more than likely by 5PM that same day there would be an "undetectable radar detector detector"......

Remember: Discretion is the better part of valor.
Skywalker, While technically radar detectors are NOT transmitters. However, they do radiate a signal that can be detected.

There are ways that the so called "detector - detector" will not detect the presents of a radar detector. But to my knowledge no one builds such a unit.

They do, the Beltronics STI is undetectable. It's been documented several times in tests. Neither the VG-2 nor the SPECTRE can pick it up at all.

Unfortunately it does not pick radar very well either :?

Or the cops could use the poor man's detector-detector. Sit facing oncoming traffic but be shooting traffic going the opposite way, hit the Instant On and watch which dummy slaps their brakes on.

The novelty of having a detector is great but not worth it. They are illegal in VA for everyone, if you are stopped and a detector is within your reach, your charged and it's confiscated until your court date. The judge will usually give it back to you because it was used as evidence or the cop will allow you to avoid a ticket for it by making you smash it on the shoulder of the road. My brother got busted with one, even though it was in the backseat, unplugged and he could not reach it with ease, it was still reachable(so the judge said.) It would have been ok if it had been in the trunk and unplugged.

While the specs (other than it's poor receiver performance) on the Beltronics STI does look good it still used a single conversion converter. Which does have leakage of the conversion frequency. And as such a "detector - detector" unit can detect this conversion.

A much better process is to use a 2 or 3 conversion process. By so doing this "detector - detector" will not see the conversion. An even better approach would be to use a digital processed oscillator that keeps changing the local oscillator.

Problem is I'm not sure it could be build and meet the price constraints.

In my daily life comings and goings, whenever i get the urge to put the hammer down, i always ask myself one simple question:

Can i afford the ticket?

Shortly afterwords, my foot always leaves the gas pedal for a few seconds to slow back down. :lol:

Well, that's not what I've read in the most recent tests but whatever.

This post makes the most sense of all of them!

Better yet, DON"T get on the road, if your only thought is breaking the law! I make good money without having to break any laws.

It amazes me the energy that people will expend, to figure out how to get away with breaking the law. If one were to exert the same energy into doing things legaly, they would be less stressed, and in most cases, have much more money in their pockets at the end of the week. Wouldn't you say!

I will wave at ya when you go by!

dont forget that the same companies make the detectors and the detector detectors, so they will always come up with new ways to defeat both as long as people are willing to buy them

The SPECTRE is built by Stealth Micro Systems of Australia. The VG-2 Interceptor is built by Technisonic Industries Ltd. Neither company builds radar detectors. :wink:
