    I have two issues, I want a laser jammer but they are illegal in S. Carolina, and I wouldn't want to install one in a car that I will only keep for about 7 years (average for me). However, I love watching all your videos.

      Most of the current third party Uniden apps offer some settings controls via the apps and I expect that functionality to be available on the R9 too.

    Thank you very much for all of your useful videos, i just have big problem with escort ci360 ,the problem is police front of my the antenna bar full but the problem is not alert by sound after 15 second get alert what i have to do is brand new ,i adjusted by your website all setting

      @VortexRadar  Před 2 měsíci

      Sorry could you provide a bit more info? I don't know if you're encountering something like low speed muting, for example. Could you provide a better description? You can also reach out to Escort or hop on the forums for tech support since that tends to work better than asking in a CZcams comment.

    I dunno I've been on the fence with getting a full system ALP but this is makign me change my mind after seeing the other shootout video. Pricing for the jammer system while expesnive aint too bad compared to what they want for installation down here in NYC. 10-15k for full install just seems crazy to me and it's why I still haven't pulled the trigger

  • @butchmcmuffin658
    @butchmcmuffin658 Před 2 měsíci

    The newer police radar units send out a signal that comes back as a tone. The higher the pitch, the faster someone is moving towards them. Once they zero in on which car is speeding, they then turn on the unit and capture the speed. Are there any manufacturers that are developing their radar detectors to counter act this?

    • @VortexRadar
      @VortexRadar  Před 2 měsíci +2

      The tone is just standard doppler shift and the resulting audio doppler. That only happens when the gun is transmitting.
      The second part sounds like instant on which is when they start and stop transmitting to try and avoid alerting radar users.
      I have a video going over this. You might wanna start here: czcams.com/video/WLOTCJUJoIk/video.htmlsi=lwnV_0tccGADdlF8

      @@JaredPaideia- Completely agree & that’s the beauty of the design… all you’d have to do is source a cheap new/used smart phone and “voila” now you’d have a dedicated display that’s completely separate from your main cell phone. Plus, given the fact the main defector wouldn’t need a display, that should make the main unit more affordable & also free up room for better detection components. Of course, the trick is, coming up with a display-less detector design & App that actually works/detects well.
