How to choose a radar detector
Radar Detector is a compact device whose main task is to detect radar and photo cameras-video fixation of the road service. Radar detectors are often called antiradars, but this is not true. Radar detectors only detect traffic police radar and notify the owner, and radar detectors block radar radiation, which is why they are banned in Ukraine and many other countries.
The most common velocity meters and radars in Ukraine are the following: Vizir, Radis, Berkut, Iskra, Sokol, Arena, LISD, Luch, Barrier, TruCAM, Garpun. Road service radars mainly operate in the K, Ka, X, L (laser) bands. Accordingly, in order for the radar detector to detect these radars, it must also work in these ranges.
The range of the radar detectors-the parameter is non-permanent and depends on factors such as congestion and weather conditions. The detection range of top models of radar detectors can reach 5 km, but in rainy or foggy weather, this range can significantly decrease.
Radar detectors can have a capture angle of 180 ° or 360 °. Models with a capture angle of 360 ° are able to detect radiation from traffic police radars around the entire circumference of the vehicle.
The next criterion is noise immunity. The better the radar detector is noisy, the fewer false alarms will be. Radar detector can be bought in Kharkov, Kiev, Odessa with delivery in Ukraine at 130.com.ua.
There are 2 ways to install radar detectors. Most radars are installed on the windshield of the car with the help of a sucker, and some models have the option of a covert, divided installation. In such models, the main unit is installed covertly, and the display is located in the cabin of the car.
Also, when choosing a radar detector, you should pay attention to the type of display, it can be symbolic, LED, symbolic and numeric and text. At the moment, the most informative display is text.
Do not forget about useful additional features such as voice notification, the presence of a GPS logger, compass, periscopes of lighting.
When choosing a radar detector, you should pay attention to the ranges in which the device operates, the range of action, pick-up angle, noise immunity, installation type, display type, and additional functions.

More information about the advanced features of radar detectors
Radar detectors with GPS logger can be used to install databases with the coordinates of traffic police stations and stationary radar complexes. Also, you can independently add to the base points. At a distance of 1 km from the point of the radar will signal an approximation.
Speech informer is designed for voice notification of a detected radar in a specific range.
The digital filter filters spurious signals and increases the noise immunity of radar detectors.
Alert Periscopes — LED indicators provide an additional visual alert.

The lineup
With radar detectors buy:
cigarette lighter sockets
Not all cars are equipped with several cigarette lighter sockets, and in the current realities, having many useful devices working from the cigarette lighter is difficult to do with just one socket. Using a cigarette lighter socket splitter, you can simultaneously connect several devices to the cigarette lighter, for example, a radar detector, a DVR and a phone charger.
