radar detectors ?

[campbell]

Mel I should realy put something into my profile but I would proberly make a load of mistakes but I will do it some time No I dont have all of them on the dash board I only use one of them at a time and im sory if your dog is dyslexic, there is people out there that can give you advice on what to do with it I drive 140 miles a day and need my detector to help with the long journeys I do but its home time I will catch you all later

Just a thought - if laser jammers open garage doors, how long before the criminal fraternity strip the contents of of my existentialist pied-a-tyre?

If apache could give me the email address of ted I could send some pics of my pride and joy MK1 MR2 I have updated my profile so people can get in touch

no they are very illegal. you will get a very big fine and they destroy the detector

same in Belgium. I managed to get mine back and avoid a fine by pleading ignorance and pointing out that they were allowed in Germany/UK. I had to go in person to a police station in the middle of Ghent to pick it up, though. In Germany, due to a legal loophole they are not forbidden (what isn't expressly forbidden, is allowed under german law), but they'll still try to confiscate. They've been "legal" now for around 2 years. Knowing the stupidity and slowness of german bureacracy, it'll probably take another two years to close the loophole Rgds, WalterU

Yeah Geek, but it depends on the detector you are using... its as system called VG2 which listens out for the harmonic frequencies given out by your detector that its local osc uses to tune into the radar signals. However most modern detectors have sheilding that makes them VG2 immune by blocking the harmonics from getting out of the case.. Im not sure if any equipment exists that can detect a 'VG2 immune' detector but if they become illegal then they might try and find some way... Hope this answers your question. Marv.
