Bank and supermarket doors aim their signal at a 45* angle to the ground to detect people's presence. A true cop radar will be aimed on the roadway to clock cars. I want a radar dectector that can filter out the errant junk and give me what it believes is a real threat.




And I want a radar detector which detects all kinds of reflected signals which bounced off other people's cars and terrain objects. I want no radar detector which detects only the strong, straight signal aimed at my car. Guess why.

If you're 2 mi away from the partol car, all you can catch is a weak, probably several times reflected and distorted signal.
That is exactly what I want to pick up.
