Generally no, but if used around any naval base or military aircraft facility you run the risk if their radar systems causing major damage to your equipment due to the strength of their systems.

What is VG 2 on radar detectors?

Vg-2 is a radar detector detector used by police in areas that its illegal to posses a radar detector. However, its barely used as most police departments now use to spectre1-5.


Do police have a radar detector detector?

Police do indeed have Radar Detector, Detectors 99% of the time they're only used in Virgina, and Washington DC, or other countries. According to www.speedcountermeasures.com in their Blog, Detector companies have found away to get around such issues but only a handful of detectors have it, such as the Escort redline, Beltronics Magnum, Beltronic STI-R plus, Escort 9500CI.


What are the benefits of having a radar detector?

Having a radar detector will alert you when a Police Car with its speed radar is near. The Radar Detectors will produce an audible signal alerting you of this, and will do so far in advance of when you are able to see the Police Car.


What is vg2 immunity?

VG2 Immunity referrers to the ability of a radar detector to keep you from being seen by the VG2 radar detector detector. The VG2 radar detector detector is used by police agencies in the U.S. and countries (Canada for one) where the use and or possession of a radar detector is illegal. The authorities use the VG2 to detect whether or not you are using a radar detector. The VG2 detects the electronic emissions of non-stealthed radar detectors allowing law enforcement to pull over offenders, ticket them and (in Canada and some U.S. states) confiscate the detector. Radar detectors that use Shadow Technology™ are purported to be shielded in such a way that the amount of detectable emissions allowed to escape the detector are not enough to trigger the VG2 radar detector detector thus making them "immune" to the VG2. It should be noted that in Canada i believe that use and/or possession of a radar detector is considered "conspiracy to speed" and carries a hefty fine and includes the confiscation of the radar detection unit. Edit: In Canada, there are certain Provinces were radar detectors are illegal. You are allowed to use them in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.


Do they make a detector that locates police?

There is a device called a radar detector, but it will only detect a radar signal, not police in general.


Do police know if you are using a radar detector?

AnswerAll modern radar detectors use a local oscillator (LO). The local oscillator is part of the radar detector's superheterodyne circuitry which greatly boosts the radar detector's performance. Radio (actually microwave) emissions from a radar detector's local oscillator are readily detected by various types of radar detector detectors (RDDs) such as VG-2 and the Spectre. Spectre RDDs are in widespread use throughout the state of Virginia where radar detector usage is illegal. Although radar detectors at present are completely legal to use in all states except VA and Washington DC, the Texas DSP is known to use Spectres to nab unsuspecting motorists who use radar detectors. Several radar detector manufacturers have made strides during the past few years to greatly reduce the LO leakage from their products. This greatly reduces the range at which the Spectre RDD can detect these newer radar detector models. And, at present, there are three specific radar detector models which have virtually zero LO leakage. This makes these three radar detector models completely immune to detection by VG-2, by the Spectre, any other present technology, or any new technology which possibly could be developed during the next 5 years or so.


What is a police radar detector?

A radar that the police use to detect stuff.


What do they mean by three band radar detectors?

A three band radar detector can read signals from 3 different band widths. This comes in handy with the new types of police equiptment out there.


What is the fine in Virginia for getting caught with a radar detector?

If you have a radar detector and you are travelling through Virginia, take it down. The police will confiscate the detector until whatever fine they write is paid. At one point they would even destrol the radar detector, but that has since become illegal due to lawsuits.


What do you do in the police station on Counterfeit Island?

What is the purpose of a Whistler radar detector?

The purpose of a Whistler radar detector is to detect the speed of the motorists, if it is being monitored by police or law enforcement by a radar gun.


How does the Escort Radar Detector work?

The Escort Radar Detector scans for the radio frequency waves of most police department speed guns. These speed gun frequencies can be detected for about a mile before actually seeing the police officer.
