The ULTIMATE and most annoying feature is that despite what the box says there is NO english. If this Fing thing says “KA King” one more time I am going to throw it out the window. That being said the K band performance is decent, and I have had Zero X band alerts.

More than likely I disbled the X band and had no idea. This unit claims to have KA narrow band and other conqueror units tested decent against the KA camera tripods.

In an urban environment this thing goes off KA band or “KA King” I should say like every 5 minutes.

The geiger effect is decent on this unit as I approached a real KA threat it is audibly different then the false signals and alerted at approx 3/4 miles which is about right for the section of divided highway with concrete median. There is a chime before every band announcement which causes you to loose 3 seconds of reaction time before the band is announced, unless you slow down for the chime.

For a while I had zero detection because I had it set to GPS output for radar functions on the gps navigator instead of the CIG plug speaker.

They claim the wireless RX is bluetooth which may be an interesting addition to a car computer if one could capture its output and design a smartphone app or whatever.

The interesting thing is that there is a super low power KA band radar sign by my house. The Passport, SteelEye, K40, and RMR ignore it completely. The $70 cobra my wife insisted on buying bleeps once or twice, and so does the R7 I have. This chinese detector not only detects it both ways, it detects it before you turn left at a 90 degree axis.

Until I can figure out the 4 main menu items, and between 2-6 sub items for each main option, I really have no clue what its set on city/highway, and it also claims to have 4 sensitivity levels.

And as far as “hiding” your identity and location is of concern. If I have a problem with your product and/or service how do I find you?

I also don’t see how registering a domain privately is such a problem. Many of my own domains I registered privately.

Many people also open companies in Oregon for tax reasons – maybe that’s changed under Obama, I don’t know much else about it.

Anyway, this blog is something I’d expect to see coming from a tabloid, not from an allegedly experienced person in this industry.

Hell, just buy one and then say it sucks. Maybe it does, but until you try it you’ll never know.

Also Escort’s Patent involves the inclusion of the GPS directly into the radar detector. The models that Uniden and Cobra are both making involve an external GPS module that plugs into the detector.
