TheDFR5detectsemissionsfromradargunsandsoundsan

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.

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.
