therefore necessary to have the
detector set up correctly for each
country.
• Ka: One of the most common-
ly used radar band for speed
measuring.
• K: The most widely used band
at all, is comonnly used for au-
tomatic doors at petrol stations
and shops, adaptive cruise
control, etc. Devices operating in
the “K” band cause false alerts,
so their quality ltration is
essential.
• X: Minimally used band, mainly
in some Eastern European
countries.
• Multaradars CD/CT: Modern
radars used in Austria, Iceland,
Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain. Their detection is
dicult and requires a specially
modied antenna (HDM+).
• DAHUA radars: Modulated 3D
K band based radar with ex-
tremely low power output.
• GATSO radars: Another modern
radars, they can be stationary or
mobile. They are used in Belgium,
France, Finland, Great Britain,
Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovenia.
They are divided into RT2/RT3/RT4
- a higher number means a more
modern version. The detection
of these radars is possible only
by the latest and most sensitive
detector.
• Narrow: Narrowed bands.
Frequency of a specic part of a
band is detected in the narrowed
band to increase sensitivity and
eliminate false alerts.
• Wide: Broadband mode, on the
other hand, searches the entire
band. In Ka band from 33.4 GHz
to 36.0 GHz. Use this setting
only if absolutely necessary, as it
shortens the detection distance
and increases the number of
false alerts.
Filters and false alerts: For the
correct functioning of the detec-
tor, it is essential to lter unwant-
ed radar signals from sources oth-
er than police radars (eg adaptive
cruise control of modern vehicles),
so that the detector reports only
police radars. The lter settings
are further described on page 7
in the manual (ALERTS NOTIFICA-
TION SETTINGS).
Laser measurement: Laser speed
measurement is based on emit-
ting an ultra narrow and short-
time beam of electromagnetic
light at the level of infrared radi-
ation. The signal is transmitted
for a very short time at a specic
place (usually car’s licence plate)
and therefore, it is almost imposi-
ble to detect it in advance. The
only eective protection against
laser speed measurement is an
additional active laser system.
GPS: The GPS antenna also de-
tects measurements that do not
emit any signals. These include
section speed cameras, stationary
speed cameras (induction loops)
or “red-light cameras”. We keep
adding everything continuously
to the GPS database of stationary
threats - all you have to do is keep
the detector updated.
