Which radar detector setup?

[CookMySock]

Ok I should have a radar detector because, well, you know why..

Can I have some "this works for me" type ideas please ?

Is it worthwhile considering a front and rear facing detector or just front ?

Should I put a set of super-bright red LEDs on my dash ? Put a beeper inside my helmet ? Both ?


TIA,

[emaN]

don't be in a hurry to hand over wads of cash just yet bro...
might pay to sit tight n see what develops re the whole 'making radar detectors illegal' thing.
for now, git on down & boogie! ;)

[Hitcher]

Try wrapping yourself in aluminium foil. That absorbs radar spectrum emissions.

[The Pastor]

hard system Expensive but it works

[HornetBoy]

Yea wit for a couple months until the radar detector law thingie passes or not ,otherwise you could take advantage of the outlets discounting the prices on thie detectors and buy now ...:2thumbsup

front and rear detectors cost a frickin shyt load ,what price range you looking at ?

[Swoop]

Have a play with the "Search" button and you will find plenty of info here.

[CookMySock]

illegal, pfft. I'll conceal the bugger.

Price, well if only forward-looking is practical, then they shouldn't be pricey at all.

Ally foil ay, do I twist the ends shut tightly ?

DB

[madandy]

Flashinglights? Extraloudspeakers?
Not necessary with a Bel. Volume goes plenty loud enough & mounted above the dilas its right in yer face anway.
If the law makers do become complete sweatyballlickingassholes & ban RD's, or the possiblity of that happening makes you hessitate, and you simply MUST have one for your might sowellhung gt650 look to a hardwired, hidden set-up.

[puddytat]

Yep it sounds like they're going to ban the things....I got a Beltronics RX65 hardwired into me bike with a set of modified T.V headphones in my helmut..these have the advantage of a built in vol. control which amplifies the alert which I couldnt of heard with the bud type/non vol. control ones you get with your walkman type gadgets. The only problem is forgetting to unhook 'em when getting off the bike.... theres lots of info here, try a "search".

No silly, aluminium reflects.

He needs to dress in rubber to absorb.

doesn't matter if they detect you with it , no matter how much you have concealed it they will more than like still fine you for it(it wouldnt be very effective if your concealing it anyway) ,but the leway period if this law comes into play will be 6months plus so thats enough time to flog it out on trademe.

upwards of $500 ,you wouldnt really want to go anwhere below that ,otherwise youll only be detecting tractors and auto open doors :blank:

[CookMySock]

doesn't matter if they detect you with itsuck!! so they are going to use detector detectors ?

DB

[HornetBoy]

suck!! so they are going to use detector detectors ?

DB

yea well that would be my guess aye ,i mean why else would they bring in a law like this if they cldnt patrol it .. they do it in america in the states where these are illegal ,mind you its new zealand so they might only just pull you up by chance or by instincts .. or if they see the suction cups on your cage windows...not sure how they will catch it on a motorbike if they dont have a detector detector ..

[CookMySock]

geez then I'll have to find a NEW location for the detector detector detector.. :blink:

DB

[HornetBoy]

geez then I'll have to find a NEW location for the detector detector detector.. :blink:

yes.. id say its going to get like that eventually ,wouldn't be suprised

they muck ya around anyways ,if you have got the money to spare go for it

[twotyred]

mind you its new zealand so they might only just pull you up by chance or by instincts .. or if they see the suction cups on your cage windows...

all the more reason for EVERY law abiding citizen to put an empty black box suction cupped to their window ... lets waste some more of their time seeing as they are so bent on wasting it on the highways rather than on catching criminals..

[HornetBoy]

wasting it on the highways rather than on catching criminals..

well seeing as alot of crimes are committed on the road -drunk drivers ...etc dont mind if they catch them people,wouldn't want them plowing me off the road

but i see what ya mean.

the other thing is if you buy an expensive enough detector then it will not be able to be detected by the police,something like that would cost you $1000+ id say (looking at the latest ones that say undetectable eg they do not leak a signal that can be detectd)

[Swoop]

suck!! so they are going to use detector detectors ?
Who cares? Get an STi and peace of mind.

the other thing is if you buy an expensive enough detector then it will not be able to be detected by the police,something like that would cost you $1000+ id say
Not quite true. The Bel STi is the best unit on the market at the moment and is undetectable. It is also quite nicely priced...

[sAsLEX]

Not quite true. The Bel STi is the best unit on the market at the moment and is undetectable. It is also quite nicely priced...

You wanna bet?

I bet I could detect it with some of the kit at work. It more than likely is little different to other detectors.


Ever wonder how the vans could detect tvs without licenses?

[HornetBoy]

... well its priced at $850 but id have to disagree that the sti is the "best" i would put my money with a V1.8 for the vote at best at this point in time.

i would look at ebay if you going to pay that much for a radar detector,in my opinion, NZ tuned means nothing but someone who has changed the pop2 and all the rest of the settings to nz specs (which u can do very easily) so why pay $850NZ when you can pay something like 400-500 nz from ebay

[twotyred]

well that makes the ceaseless revenue collection ok then...:yawn:

of course not ,but if everyone was left to their own devices and sped around without speed limits being policed then you would be asking for a change of prioritys towards this.

[Defiant]

Pfft.....if the law passes or not doesnt matter......just conceal it with an external sensor mounted inside your park light housing. then you need an indepentdant on/off switch somewhere easy to reach but out of site. Then you use the "huh???? what detector you must have picked up the car behind me or something officer?....check again......", Its gonna be another stupid law...what bout the new cars that have auto safety protection for GPS they slow the vehicle when you go too far over the limit when turned on? and they intend to ban those too......Geeze that means they might have to recall half the governments fleet of limos and polly's cars.

Get a front mount mount heaps cheaper and you gonna be using it more on the open road anyway cause we know you dont intend to speed in 50 zones Aye!???....lol..

[Swoop]

You wanna bet?
I bet I could detect it with some of the kit at work.
We are talking about the public servant's being "possibly" issued a cheapo detector device, that is already being used overseas. This has been proven not to detect the STi. I posted a link to these tests in one of the detector threads. All the top detectors (including the Valentine) were put up against the usual radars and detector-detectors.
Only one was worth investing in. Longer detection range (handy for instant-on on other vehicles some way up the road) and immune to RDD.

... well its priced at $850 but id have to disagree that the sti is the "best" i would put my money with a V1.8 for the vote at best at this point in time

but the concealing part is the part where it will most fail ..as you would be obstructing the radars view i would think .. woulnt that decrease the effectiveness of it ?

i think if your going to get one put it behind your screen and make use of it fully ,as i dont think they would be able to spot a detector on a bike unless they had one of these detector detectors..

[sAsLEX]

Point to the main radar below.

well you cant as its covered, and if it works for the RN!?

[homer]

since theres always a fix to everything

example :radar = radar detector
:radar decector = radar decectors

Do we then need a radar dector and another device to detect the radar detectors the police may have with them to detect the radar detector that you have .

[puddytat]

Dont forget that they tend to keep the finger off the "trigger" till they spot a likely target...dont tend to get much if any warning at all unless they've flashed someone else, & often its the mufti's...:buggerd:

[CookMySock]

but the concealing part is the part where it will most fail ..as you would be obstructing the radars view i would think .. woulnt that decrease the effectiveness of it ?no. Behind your screen or behind your fairings - makes no difference. Plastic is transparent to microwaves. The main thing is not to inadvertantly refocus the beam (dont put it in a headlight) or put it too low so it can't "see". It will only report what it can "see", and microwave energy is more like light than other radio frequencies - especially 30GHz.


i think if your going to get one put it behind your screen and make use of it fully ,as i dont think they would be able to spot a detector on a bike unless they had one of these detector detectors..yeah this is looking like the go, under the cowl somewhere and remote the warning lights. The other thing to do is once you have a solid warning is to turn the unit off.

Like the guy I used to know who had a CB set capable of reaching from West Australia to NZ in good conditions. His set was in a vehicle and he operated "mobile". Probably from the top of a hill where he could see for miles...

I thought all detectors "looked" behind as well as to the front, mine does.

Detectors should hopefully work out of the top of a tank bag but I guess we'll see. Might have to shell out for a HARD...

yeah. no need to panick then people...all this talk of detctor detectors gives me the yips.

Well, we can all sit around posting to KB about the detector ban but that won't actually achieve v f much. Or we could send an email to Harry Duynhoven whose little rush of shit to the brain this was.

Nope.


Super-heterodyne receivers require a Local Oscillator at the frequency of interest to separate the wanted signal from the carrier. This LO would also emit from the antenna used to pick up the incoming signal, and it is this that the vans would detect.

Most have a rearward "window" but it's less effective than forward. Only the Valentine shows the signals separately , I think.

Mine works fine in the map pocket of the tank bag, haven't tried it in the "inside", but the GPS receiver works OK there so I think radar would. No metal in the way is the rule.

While it scares me that you have pictures of rubber suits on hand... I just happen to have a unit you could test against, if you have ready access to your gear. Promise to keep a safe distance from me, and I'll bring my toys to play :yes:

If RD becomes illegal, no doubt they would follow some australian states, where they use RDD devices such as stalker III, and as someone pointed out, the bel sti driver is not detected by them. sti driver is the US name, its rebranded something that slips my mind, out here.

[CookMySock]

This LO would also emit from the antenna used to pick up the incoming signal, and it is this that the vans would detect.aha you work for the moc :buggerd:

Technically, all superhet receivers emit some of their local oscillator. So these radio devices must meet some technical standard ala c-tick. If they DO meet this standard then they are legal. If they DO NOT meet this standard then they are NOT legal.

If the unit is a bona-fide receiving device with bon-fide approval then the unit is "A c-tick approved receiver", and thus is NOT a transmitting device. It is not against the law to operate a receiving device of any type in NZ.

If the units' LO emission levels place it in the category of a transmitting device (whether it transmits anything meaningful or not) then it should be classed, approved, and licensed as such.

All IMO, YMMV. Rock on.

Eh, nooks is sooo last century. Put Brucie's 10kg in orbit with minimal reserve fuel and you can chuck it anywhere within a few thousand klicks of it's orbit shadow. Seen what a few Kg of carbon steel shaft at terminal velocity can do to an armoured column?

Won't do it with a pulse jet though, and sourcing LOX or anything useful for orbital insertion will attract the same attention. Rocketry as a hobby in the western world is somewhat limited nowadays because Uncle Sam has locked all his toys up.

[Ixion]

A bit over the top though, an orbital insertion just to avoid a speeding ticket, don't you think. Got to be practical, don't cha no.

Well, true. OK then, so everyone's agreed. Orbital missile is the way to go (only if they do ban radar detectors, though).

We know we can manage the vehicle. All we need to source are suitable negines, fuel and a nuke warhead.

And, it occurs to me that Mr SaSlex probably has access to all that sort of stuff. Or at least to places where it's kept.

And knocking off the quartermaster's stores is a fine old navy tradition All we need to do is twist his arm.

They don't have a warhead, at those speeds a fair amount of the mass is converted directly to thermal energy. Literally just a solid steel shaft with guidance fins.

Then there's the school of thought that all detectors (as opposed to jammers) are an absolute waste of money cos by the time you know there's one there then the chances are that "they" :Police: will already have you locked on . . . false sense of security and all that.

Is this opinion backed up with fact ? Can you give some hard numbers on these "chances" ? It sounds like you haven't actually used a detector, because *mostly* you get ample warning way way up the road, with little K band beeps and blips well before you run into a massive wall of microwave energy - a dead giveaway that theres something ahead. It's rare to run *hard into* a microwave trap, *unless* its a 45 degree low-power speed camera - these give you only a second or two warning if they are positioned correctly.


If ya wanna speed, just speed. And keep (both) your eyes wide open !!!!! :Playnice:I don't speed, but I pass, and its perfectly trivial to hit 125k before I'm back in, and consequently its perfectly trivial to run right into a radar unit.
