How is the Patriot radar different from other radar systems?
Patriot’s radar is somewhat unusual in that it is a “detection-to-kill” system, meaning that a single unit performs all search, identification, track, and engagement functions. This is in contrast to most SAM systems, where several different radars are necessary to perform all functions necessary to detect and engage targets.
Are there any laws against using a radar detector?
These prohibitions generally are introduced under the premise that a driver who uses a radar detector will pose a greater risk of accident than a driver who does not. The table below provides information about laws regarding radar detectors in particular nations.
Which is better a LIDAR detector or a radar detector?
Radar detectors, which detect radio transmissions, are unable to detect the infrared light emitted by LIDAR guns, so a different type of device called a LIDAR detector is required. However, LIDAR detection is not nearly as effective as radar detection because the output beam is very focused.
Can a superheterodyne be used in a radar detector?
The superheterodyne receiver in radar detectors has a local oscillator that radiates slightly, so it is possible to build a radar-detector detector, which detects such emissions (usually the frequency of the radar type being detected, plus about 10 MHz).
Can a power cord be cut for a radar detector?
This adapter was purchased to replace one which the cord had been accidentally cut. The replacement power cord inport plug to radar detector fits EXTREMELY LOOSELY and becomes unplugged on its own, simply from the car’s normal driving movement on smooth paved roads.

Where is the power point on a COBRA radar detector?
The cord that came with the radar detector was a coiled cord that only extended about 2.5 feet. My power point is in the console so the cord was stretched tight just to reach the windshild directly in front of the consile. I like the detector down in the lower left corner of the windshield and the cord that came with it couldn’t reach.
