VIDEO – Radar Detector Driving Tip Moving Police Radar
During this 2-minute video you’ll witness first hand a moving Ka-band constant on encounter.
The detector demonstrated in this video is the Beltronics STiR Plus coupled to our radar detector mirror display. The STiR is a remote mounted radar detector and has been tested to having 8 times the capture distance of a police radar gun.
When an officer enables the moving radar mode on his radar gun he is actually transmitting one signal and the dropper effect is simultaneously computing the speed of his vehicle and the target vehicle and displaying the results to the officer on his radar gun.
Now in situations as these where you have the officer approaching you in the opposite direction it is important to remember that you’ll have less time to react to an alert.
Because of this its important to have a radar detector that has at least 4 times the capture distance of the officers gun.
Now because we have the STiR, which has over 8 times the capture distance, our detector alerted us to his presence at just under a mile away providing us with ample time to slow down.
