Cobra radar detectors are devices used to detect if the police are monitoring your car or checking your speed limit using a radar gun. This is used by motorist so they can fix their speed before getting pulled over.
A cobra detector is a radar detector. Radar detectors work the same way a radio receiver does. The radar detector looks for frequencies that a radar gun uses.
Yes i used my cobra in Germany and they actually work alot better there.
Yes, but not as well as we wish they would work! Don't depend 100% on a radar detector. There are a number of related questions and answers on WikiAnswers on radar and speed control. A link is provided.
Radar Detectors will only work if the beam from the radar gun "shines" directly on the sensors. Mounting it other than 6-12 inches from the dashboard on the windshield will greatly reduce its effectiveness
Yes!!! Radar uses its own emitter. To the receiver it is always night until the transmitter is tuned on. Turning on the transmitter is like turning on a flashlight.
It's actually very simple in theory.Just like your eyes detect variations in the way light hits other objects the radar detects variations in microwave (and other types) of radiation.The trick is in figuring out exactly what this means through signal processing.
Radar detectors and jammers can be an excellent tool to help the "Average-Joe" drive smarter and avoid those hefty fines that can come from speeding tickets. However, radar detectors and jammers are not an end-all-be-all license to ignore the posted speed limit signs. Here are a few tips to help use that radar detector properly!1) Realize the Limitations: Radar detectors and jammers are not perfect, and they all have their limitations. When it comes to radar detectors, they can take time to recognize a laser signal, depending on a number of factors. A police officer does not necessarily have the laser on at all times, and by the time they turn it on and capture the speed, an officer may already have enough to write a speeding or reckless driving ticket. The jammers too have their faults. First, they are not legal in every state and if caught with one in a banned area, they can result in hefty fines. Plus, they do not always work in time, which can lead to tickets, more fines and headaches.2) Don’t Get Crazy: While it may be easy to get into the mindset of infallibility with a radar detector or jammer that is certainly not the case. It is still necessary to drive smart and safe, and not be reckless when operating a motor vehicle. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that your car is safe from all infractions just because the devices are there.3) Proper Installation: Radar detectors and jammers are only effective when used and installed properly. If it needs to be mounted in a certain area, make sure that it is. Most radar detectors and jammer manufactures recommend that the device be placed in the middle of the windshield in a high position. However, this isn’t always the best idea. Placing the device lower can offer better concealment (to deter theft) and can often result in a better signal.So while radar detectors and jammer may seem like the invention of the century, it is important to remember that they are only effective if used properly and safely. So buckle up, be smart and get driving!
Yes the Rocky Mountain Radar RMR-C435 Radar and Laser Jammer does.
Jammers and detectors serve different purposes. Jammers are designed to block or disrupt specific signals, such as those from cell phones or GPS devices. Detectors, on the other hand, are intended to identify and alert the presence of certain signals, such as radar or radio frequency signals. The effectiveness of jammers or detectors can vary depending on various factors such as the technology used, detection range, and interference conditions.
i don't the answer
It can be off by one mph either way. The way it's supposed to work is the officer, who has been trained to do so, estimates the vehicle's speed and then uses the radar to confirm his estimate. Audio helps determine which vehicle is being clocked.
Yes, the cobra gps system will work in a honda. It is a very effective traffic navigation system.
