Radar Detector Multi-Band

$160 US, no name, probably get seized at customs - Blatant ad by
business owner.

I don't think so.

Guess you can buy one, but I thought using a radar detector was illegal in Oz

Anyone?

Argusy

Illegal to even have one in your car

Cheers

Tony..

Not if you have a ham ticket and claim to have modified it

  in fact the police could be charged with interferring with a primary
service .

Oh, now THAT would be a good one to try.
$160.00?
I might buy one.
It would be an experiment to see if their radar systems are spattering our
frequencies. That would be winnable in a court, especially if it's modified

Argusy (AKA VK5CRC)

It would be interesting and I expect quite winable

I was told you can buy them in W.A. but not use them anywhere else in
Australia.

:-P

only if you get caugt

You will.

I think it is cheaper to get caught speeding if you can afford to loose the
points.

Even cheaper to not speed.

:-P

wrong

AFAIK, the police radar detector detectors only pick up local oscillator
leakage from the RD.
A *well* designed RD will probably not be detectable at any useful distance,
but the cost of such units is pretty high I believe.
And after you spend a fortune and think you are safe, the unmarked patrol
cars will simply follow you anyway.

The odds are very low , after all I hear there are only a couple of
detectors in my entire state .

distance,
patrol

And a lot more unmarked patrol cars.

MrT.

Not that it matters atm not enough bodies to fill em after 6pm
  in this area of several 100k people after 6pm two whole patrol cars
working

legal to buy and use in WA.
In WA highway cars use K band - on all the time, easy to detect.
police standing on side of road use laser - hard to detect at distance
during the daytime
stationary multinovas use Ka band, easy to detect but only up to a few
hundred metres. They are starting to use 2 multinovas back to back to catch
motorbikes.
