There are several types of laser guns currently in use by police. A few of these are listed below: Pro Laser™ I, II and III LTI 20-20 Ultra Lyte Stalker LZ-1 Laser Atlanta L-1 Warns drivers of emergency vehicles and road hazards from systems equipped with Safety Alert® transmitters. Safety Alert® is Cobra's answer to the Safety Warning System offered by several other manufacturers. Some models with voice alerts or alpha-numeric displays have the ability to speak or display a description of the specific Safety Alert® warning for which you are being alerted. For example, if the alert was "Road work ahead" you would hear that message spoken if your unit supports voice alerts, and you would see that message if your unit has an alpha-numeric display. The Spectre is a new type of technology designed to detect radar detectors. It is used by police in areas where radar detectors are illegal to find people who are using radar detectors. Radar detectors with this feature are invisible to the Spectre "radar detector-detector". LED displays use lights to indicate alerts. Typically, there will be a light or combination of lights to represent each band. It is marked on the display which lights refer to which band. A more advanced form of the LED display uses icons in front of lights. This usually makes it easier to understand the alert at a glance. Auto muting allows you to tell the radar detector to automatically mute or lower the volume after the first few seconds of beeping. Manual muting usually means that there is a Mute or a Quiet button on the unit that will silence the current alert when pressed. City mode will reduce the number of false alarms that you will receive. There are some differences in the ways that each manufacturer implements City mode. In some cases, city mode will filter out all X band signals detected. Other units will still beep when a signal is detected, but will automatically enter Quiet mode after one or two beeps if the signal is weak. Highway mode does not filter out any band, or automatically silence weak signals. Shipping Weight: 8 lb     Copyright © 2005 Today's Web Business All Rights Reserved
