Having resently acquired a radar detector I have the following questions.

1.  Is it true that the police can tell you are using a radar  detector  or
is  this  just  hype  that they would like you to believe??  It seems to me
that the way a radar detector works is like a radio, it has an antenna  and
tuner  however,  instead of playing music it plays warnings.  Given this, I
don't see how they could tell.

2.  Is there a way to insure that your radar  detector  is  working??  I've
had  mine  less  than  2 weeks now and it still hasn't gone off, except for
power on diagnostics.  Can you use a garage opener?  I think garage openers
usually work on the X band.

3.  Is the Spectrum remote a good one???
