Good luck with the instruction manual ..... :lol:
THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL WOULD HAVE SOMETHING WORTH READING IN IT :shock: I thought i just asked simple questions that would not offend anyone but it seems like the questions i asked have ruffled some feathers somehow + now I'm being accused by Cath of trying to get people to do work for me and that i am up to some sort of weird plan to get devious information :twisted: so i think Mick is right, Case Closed, nothing achieved. I'll find some rock to crawl under and stop annoying everyone.

Ok, now you're starting to worry me. Can you pass that one by us that again?

Hang on, didn't we agree on Case Closed?

Well that confused the crap out of me...wasn't that the post you didn't want to read as it was too "involved"?

Cath's post looks fine to me...but then I'm not paranoid either, so maybe I need to squint or something to get it to look that way.

BTW I'm way way waaaaaaaaaaaay past caring now, it's like a car accident though, it's hard not to look...even though you know you shouldn't.

For the last time CASE CLOSED nothing to see here, move along....

Mick :?

I just got PM that was actually helpful (thanks again) and I just can't let someone else close my thread, so - CASE CLOSED. It's a shame though, because you guys do have such a great sense of humor.

Us lot???? A great sense of humour???? Your in the wrong forum arn't ya Peter????? :lol:

I think maybe there have been some recent attempts at spamming in here and a few members are being a little cynical about links or suggestions to call/email/ctc an unkown business. Don't take it personally. Also, what they say about legalities is true. It is a huge fine in most states. But, I've seen more than one person do it and not in states where it is legal either. So go ahead and have a lash. You never know, it might just be the thing which saves your licence.

On the subject of radar detectors, I have a little system in the Jeep which works for HWP radar and mobile speed camera radar. I sit my mobile phone next to the stereo on FM and whenever a Radar comes up ahead, I get little digital beeps from the radio. It really does work for some reason and often from a long distance. I've had it pick up a radar two hills away (2klms). Not sure why it works, but it everytime it goes off, sure enough, there is a radar of some type ahead??? :?

I think all what you're hearing is is your phone changing cells, nothing to do with radar.

Once it does this there may be a few transmitters within range and they negotiate which one you talk to and you connect to the one with the strongest signal. This results in the radio pinging up some type of harmonic from the phone transmitting and you get audio something like the duh-duh-duh-de-duh, duh-duh-duh-de-duh, duuuuuuh. You can get much the same effect holding your phone near the radio while you're on a call (while the car isn't moving or you're a passenger of course). I have to keep my phone a few feet away from my radio for this reason.

The fact that there is always a radar of some type ahead is because they're bloody everywhere and there is ALWAYS a radar ahead somewhere :lol:.
