POP Radar Detection

If your current radar detector is over two years old you need to be very concerned about this development. Police radar guns for over 25 years have had a “hot standby” feature that allows the operator to turn the gun on at the last minute to measure your speed. As long as there was any sort of scattered traffic at all ahead of you, and you had a good detector with long range you were fine. You could get an alert as traffic up ahead of you was targeted. The friendly folks at MPH Industries (right here in Kentucky, as a matter of fact) have created an enhanced variation on this old technique. Instead of a transmission duration of, say, a full second or so, when one of their guns with their “POP mode” feature is fired, it only transmits for an incredibly short 62 milliseconds. No detector on the market up until a couple of years ago was able to see a signal of such a short duration. Thankfully, the geeks at Escort and Bel in particular have figured out how to deal with it.
