How the Spectre Works
One of the areas that I feel is important to our RadarDetector.org clients is the educational content that we provide. In the coming weeks I’m going to shift from preparing long and sometimes complicated text articles to online videos and podcasts to our membership on here and RadarDetector.net. These videos will cover product testing of speed countermeasure devices and give you some insight on how police radar and laser works.
I’m also polling our members to come-up with some ideas on videos that they would like to see, perhaps how to install a laser jammer, or how police officers calibrate radar equipment. If you have an idea please PM me, RadarRoy on RadarDetector.net.
This first video from my archives is a couple years old, but it shows how a police officer would use a Spectre RDD to sniff out radar detectors.
A few years after Kustom Signals introduced their VG2 RDD, Beltronics shifted their LO (Local Oscillator) frequency, thus making their units the first detectors invisible to VG2. Other radar detector companies shortly followed suit and within a few short years, VG2 as an RDD was obsolete. Enter Stealth Microsystems from Australia with their new RDD, the Spectre.
The Spectre detects every radar detector made today with the exception of the new Beltronics STi. Once again Beltronics was the leader in the industry to develop the first radar detector that would not leak any RF (Radar Frequency) thus defeating the Spectre and all future RDD devices.
