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?? In the sense that the detector radiates something that gives you away, no. However, in states where radar detectors are illegal,a cop will drive up behind a suspect car, turn his radar on, and see if any lights in the target car turn on with the radar. If they do, you're busted. Please people, no flames on whether radar detectors can be banned by states! I think we thrashed that subject to death awhile back. >2. Is there a way to insure that your radar detector is working?? Best way I know of is to find an airport. The radars usually cause my Passport to alert. -- John Allred General Computer Company uucp: seismo!harvard!gcc-milo!john
