Lol:

"Easily measure large objects like cars....but don't point it at cars, people don't seem to like having things pointed at them when they are driving."

There is an article in the latest MAKE magazine showing you how to "enhance" the performance of this thing.

I remember as a kid and even into young adulthood how I longed to have a Radar Gun. At one time I even considered giving close to a grand for one (A real one)

Can't buy this one since the SOB's at CC won't ship them out.

LOL, set off all the radar detectors.

panic! panic!

Amazon.com has plenty of reviews.... they're mostly positive.


Far as the CC review of MPH being way off... well, the device has two modes.

Real World and Hotwheel.

Real World is actual MPH/KPH.
Hotwheel mode is for 1/64 scale hotwheels...so speed recorded is multiplied by 64. so a Hotwheel going 10mph (fast) will register 640mph! 🙂


I'd definetly grab one if you can... great fun, or an excellent gift.... Seattle and Portland area CCs are sold out... not avail on-line either.. too bad..

I've always wanted a portable microwave emitter to toy with those who use radar detectors. Wonder if this one puts out enough to set them off 100 yds away.

 

[superHARD]

with a max of 2mph it's worthless to me.

 

[Souka]

where does it say 2mph?


oh you mean the stupid review comment from a CC poster?


Try checkin Amazon.com.... a bit more useful....
