Q: QuestionCan police detect this device?

Asked 9 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes, police can detect radar detectors in a car using a device called a radar detector detector (RDD). One of the most common RDDs is the Spectre series, which is used to pick up the small amounts of radio emissions that some radar detectors give off. However, many high-end radar detectors, like the Uniden R8, are designed to be stealthy and undetectable by most RDDs, especially the Spectre. This can make it harder for police to detect them, though no radar detector can be guaranteed to be 100% invisible.

Q: QuestionIt can be installed in a motorcycle?

Asked 2 years ago by Jusaven.

• A:Answer Absolutely! This is where the app and if you use earbuds with your phone like me on bike are set! Just need to buy the ram magnetic mount- it’s as solid as you need considering it’s only magnetically held in place. See how I’ve got this in pictures. I was afraid at first thinking it’d fly off since I am an adventurer rider and do a lot of riding. It’s way solid.
