  1. 9500i All The Way!

    Great info on what speed they ticket at. Always great to see honest testing showing the 8500 having better range than the V1!

    I came across one of the DPS SUVs not long ago near Apache Junction on US60. I had a little Bel Express 795 which did pick them up, but only right before I was right on top of them.

    zr1: Could be due to your windscreen. We in the Netherlands have tested this and a windscreen especially with a special heat coating will reduce your range dramatically

    They must have updated most of their fleet with even lower-powered K band units. I have had numerous encounters with my V940 and RX65 where there was no alert until I was right on top of the van. I am not alone in my experience having heard of same from friends with Bels, Escorts and V1s. Although you have to twist V1 owners’ arms to get them to admit it. 🙂

    • I’ve also noticed this and infact been doing some additional testing as there has been a unit down the road from our office. It seems that they are now using a narrow pulsed K band gun and detection has been reduced in some cases to less than 100 feet.

      As there was a shooting of one of the van operators a few weeks back, I’m keeping my distance so I will not seem suspicious.

  7. The only way that they do not work is if they fail too get your licence number on camera. In California where I live the minimum fine is $5.00.00 dololers for any foto violation. You are lucky as they also count against your insurance.

  8. the vans do exist they use them in Arizona as well. I don't know if they kick on with only one mile an hour over as a matter of fact im sure they don't or I would of had a few tickets by now.
