DETECTION

TheLRD750detectsemissionsfromradargunsandsounds

anaudioalertforthedriver.Thedetectordetermines

whichbandrangethesignalisfromanddisplaysthat

frequencystrength(1thorough5)alsodisplaysinan

increasingbarformat.

False signals can come from other devices such as the

automac doors at a supermarket or even another

car’s cruise control; these devices operate in the

same frequency ranges as radar guns.

BANDS

TheLRD750recognizes:

• XBand:Thisbandwasthefirstfrequencybandassigned

topoliceradar.Itoperatedonalowerfrequency

(10.525GHz)withahigherpoweroutput.

• KBand:Thisbandisthemostcommonfrequencyused

inradardetectors(24.150).Itsrelativelysmall

wavelengthgivesitaclockingdistanceofabout1/4mile

upto2miles.TurnontheKbandfilterthroughthe

• KaBand:Overtheyears,theKabandincorporatedthe

Ka-Band,theKaWide-Band,andtheKaSuperWide-

Band.Mostphotoradars(alsoknownasstoplight

cameras)usethisband.

POP™ is a single-pulse Doppler radar feature on some

K and Ka band radar guns. This type of radar gun is

a very sensive receiver; limit POP detect mode to

highway and rural driving.
