someone pointed out that an RD with a longer range gets around this but I don't think a range detector with a longer range would make any difference as they leave the Radar on standby then turn it on when 50M from you... time to react is very small...
BTW the whistler is right up there with the others in tests etc.![]()

It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
If you haven't seen the car, remembering that any Falcodore is an immediate suspect, before 50m - hell 200m- you'd be after a new glasses prescription me thinks.
400m isn't a whole to ask from your eyes in idendifying a potential mufti and blue & whites stand out from further a-field than that.
It's already been suggested in this thread that RD's are the back up to a keen road scanner and not the silver bullet and as Denill states, with any traffic within 2-3 km ahead of you you're gonna get plenty of warning.
I used to have a Whistler ten years ago or more. I'm going to check some test results and see where they're at.
Scummy, are you referring to a time when Police sometimes would give the discos a flick and/or wave the finger at someone who was up around 114 for instance? They were great times indeed. Shame too many people couldn't see that was pushing the extent of their driving skills...
People are never satisfied.
Here's a thought, stop pinging people for just being different. Maybe if people only got pinged when it could be proven empirically they were actually dangerous (say, after they'd caused a crash) people would get the impression that the powers that be actually cared about road safety.
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin (1706-90)
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending to much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it." - Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

Well I've taken my Scorpion RD out of the car this morning. No one can beat the law, (except Helen) so I am weening myself to driving at the legal speed limit on the open road.
I have to go to Palmy this arvo so I will see how my head handles the adjustment. I know the Quattro will hate it, as it's cruising speed is 120kph. But it to will have to tell the OB computer that from now on we cruise at 100kph. What a bore Zzzzzzzzzzzzz!!
But as for the bike. Well that's another kettle of fish!!!!
Most raders have a jammer that jams the Police radar I guess thats why they are shitty
Blindspott are back as Blacklist check them out

I met a guy at the track day Saturday with a large red BMW , I have never seen so much electronic trickery installed on a bike !
Everything was hidden, detector, front and rear jammer units !
Guess he was serious ? Gaz.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
Only one company has ever produced a radar jammer (scorpian ka jammer) it costs $1500USD and takes up most of your dash on a car. Would be ridiculous on a bike. Trademe is full of people claiming to sell radar jamming detectors that simply dont work.

You just recycled an already abused derogatory comment for no good reason other than as a fishing expedition.
