Asked 6 years ago by jim.

• A:Answer One thing radar detectors are competing against for newer cars are the safety sensors. Cars that emit collision avoidance, lane monitoring, stop monitoring and similar features can set off the K band on the radar detector. With that said, the R7 has a new firmware upgrade that incorporates a notch filter K Block Feature (24.194 – 24.205GHz) to improve detection of these safety systems. This will lessen the capability to notify you to true K band alerts, so you can enable/disable this feature, as needed.

Q: QuestionCan the police detect that you are using it?

Asked 6 years ago by Woody.

• A:Answer Short answer, Yes. The R7 is fairly good at blocking out a wide range of RDD’s but IS detectable by SPECTRE RDD’s. When the R7 was tested by SPECTRE devices, the detections were inconsistent and had to be close in order to pick up the signal. The Escort Redline EX does block out All RDD’s.

Asked 4 years ago by jndejure.

• A:Answer It’s a speed measurement tactic generally used/measured from an elevated position (bridge/aircraft) to observe distance and time relationship. Officer starts a timer at known point and ends timer at “finish line” Calculation is made and observation is radioed to ground unit to issue citation. Not detectable in advance by any electronic device. This enforcement tactic is somewhat uncommon except for certain municipalities/provinces.
