Lines: 16 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???
