Yesterday, a friend was driving down the 4 lane highway east of Celina.He encountered a Stationary radar unit designed to show the public thier speed on a display on a red led screen. Here,s the thing. He uses a whislter radar detector, It didnt sound off not a peep.He calls me knowing i have some of the best radar detectors on the market. We go and take my blazer down to this stationary radar and see if my Passport 8500x50 picks it up.Well . the detector didnt sound off .zero warning. I also use a Bel 985 in the Semi. We went and tried it and didnt get no alerts.Even tho the stationary radar gun aquired our speed every time. Does anybody know what they might be using?What band of radar could it be. Our Radar detectors never detected the source, even tho we were clocked and our speed displayed on the screen Don |

AzRedneck Unregistered guest | I don't really know, but my girlfriend just got nailed doing 75 in a 55, and her Passport didn't make a sound. This was just North of Canton Ohio. Maybe these damn buckeye's do have something new |

I decided to buy the Passport because of all the test I read showed it was the best. I am going to contact Radar Roy and ask him if he knows anything about a new type of radar in Ohio. I'll let ya know what he says. Troy |

You need to buy a brand new detector if you dont wanna get caught by it. |

Like what is the point of them if they can't give you a ticket for it??? When ever i encounter one, I always speed up so the simulated red and blue lights come on lol. It wouldn't matter even if they could give you a ticket by mailing you one, because I don't have a front license plate... |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 3566 Registered: Apr-05 | Of course you could get a ticket from one, whether you have a front plate or not, the technology is there. The question is: do they do it? My state must be behind in those things, some have simulated red and blue lights on them? haha wow |
