<chuckle> Yeah, my lack of a smiley at the end changes the whole meaning

To a point, though, they could cut down on the amount of leakage if they spent some time properly surrounding the oscillator section (the V1 does a relatively good job on this one... nice metal case on that sucker). The horn is going to be the biggest offender (by far), but I have no doubt they leak a ton out of the connectors (particularly on the cheaper models) and holes for the LEDs (not much you can do about that, unless you optically isolate it all, and that's WAY not worth it).

You can tell a lot about the quality of shielding if your detector picks up a cheaper unit every time it comes near... leakage out the wazoo.

 

Why spend money on a worthless electronic radar detector when you were born with the best radar detector money can buy. And there undetectable to boot...

 

We pride ourselves on cars that go 0-60 in under 6 seconds... I want a device that will make my car go from 100-55 in 0 seconds.

 

They have that, actually. And it's fairly inexpensive to boot.

I think they call it a brick wall.

It works really well, but it only works once.

(I guess that's 100-0, but it's better than nothing)

 

actually they have one that does 100-55.
its called a big ass ditch in the road.
