TETRA Detectors

[endaf90]

Anyone had any experience with TETRA detectors such as Python or Project Blue Eye. Considering buying one of the Python detectors but would like to hear from someone who has had experience with them before I go ahead.

I've also heard that they might not work soon as the emergency vehicles are changing from TETRA to 4G or something, any info on this would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. Yes I've already googled it but found contradicting information all over the place. Might not be worthwhile spending all that money if I'll only get a years use out of it :/

I don't necessarily want one so I can get away with speeding everywhere, I just got pulled up a few months back by an unmarked police car for not wearing my seatbelt (Stupid I know, I was driving from my house to Tesco, which is a 30 second drive, I'm lazy haha)

Now I'm paranoid every car that gets up my arse is a copper, so I want it more for the peace of mind to stop me worrying about this. One way to get a tailgater off your arse is to put your foot down to open up the gap, not a great tactic if the car behind is a copper though!

I live in a rural area so the how it works in the city isn't so important for me. Sounds pretty disappointing from what you've said so far though :/.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful comments, I think I'm going to take the plunge now and get one of the Pythons. I knew this subject would summon some of the grumpy old farts as well haha. I've been driving all around the UK for 7 years and have never had any points or accidents so I'd like to think that I'm a good driver, I know plenty of more 'cautious' drivers that have had multiple accidents that were their fault in that time. Using this device for some peace of mind when putting my foot down every now and again is well worth £300 if it works as they claim.

Ideal, sounds like the coppers really don't want people to have these devices, that's enough of a reason for me to buy one haha!
