![]() Did they invent this just to beat radar detectors?ĭespite obsoleting almost every radar detector sold in the last decade, MultaRadar was not invented purely to force radar detector users to upgrade. MultaRadar works the opposite – it is as if someone is starting at the top of the keyboard and sweeping their hand up and down the entire keyboard, pressing every single key as they slide back and forth. Continuous wave radar is like someone choosing a single key on the keyboard and pressing it over and over again. If you are still having trouble visualizing the difference between continuous wave and modulated radar, you’re not alone – it can be a tricky thing to understand! One easy way to get a clearer picture is to visualize a piano keyboard. This is confusing to most radar detectors, and if they are not designed with MultaRadar in mind from the ground up they will not be able to detect it. For example, MultaRadar might constantly sweep up and down from 23.8 GHz - 24.3 GHz. Instead of operating on only one frequency, MultaRadar is what we call “frequency modulated radar.” While that sounds complicated, it’s just a fancy way of saying that MultaRadar constantly changes the frequency which it operates on. ![]() This is why radar detectors can pick up police radar from such a long distance! Since continuous wave radar operates the same way all the time, radar detectors know exactly what type of radar pattern to look for. This is what we call “Continuous Wave” radar. For example, a K band radar gun would operate at 24.150ghz and never vary from that. Traditionally, radar used by police officers operates at a fixed frequency that does not change. To understand what makes MultaRadar different, it helps to first know how standard police radar works. Police have the unit pointed towards the rear facing out of the tinted glass of the truck cap. In this example below, the system is in the rear of a Ford truck to the right. In Canada, the police hide the large MultaRadar photo radar systems in the rear of pickup trucks to completely conceal the units. Here are photos from New York City showing the new technology. New red light cameras with the latest technology in the United States are beginning to appear that use MultaRadar. The adoption rate of MultaRadar continues to accelerate, with several more states currently conducting trials. Currently, MultaRadar is in use in Virginia, Washington D.C., Texas, New York, and Illinois. While used extensively all over Canada, MultaRadar is newer to the USA. A different type of technology that does not operate at just one frequency like old police radar guns do, the vast majority of existing radar detectors simply cannot detect MultaRadar. Having been in use overseas for several years, MultaRadar is a brand-new threat to drivers across North America. ![]() For the most part, if you owned a top-tier radar detector from any brand you could consider yourself protected against all radar threats. When a new enforcement technology was needed, most officers traded in their radar guns for new laser (or LIDAR) guns, which offered pinpoint accuracy and were harder to detect by radar detectors. ![]() X, K, and KA band have been around for decades with few significant changes and little reason for police agencies to upgrade to other radar-based systems. The Net Radar is a remote radar detector designed to be installed in your grill and plugged into the AntiLaser Priority laser jamming system to offer you a fully integrated radar detecting and laser jamming setup.Speed enforcement radar has remained the same in the United States for a very long time. Rear antenna: Optional to give you improved radar detection from behind.Front antenna: Primary radar detector everyone will need.You can check out my impressions of the Net Radar here. Now there’s actually several different Net Radar antennas you can purchase, depending on your needs. Front MRCD antenna: Optional antenna for those who live in Edmonton, Alberta or around Quebec where the MRCD is in use.Ī firmware update is coming to add directional information, aka arrows, if you have both a front and rear antenna.Now to configure your Net Radar, there’s actually two ways of doing it. ![]() The traditional way is to configure everything on your computer via the ALP website, download the config file with your settings to your computer, take it over to your ALP in your car via a USB stick, and plug the USB stick so the ALP can apply those settings. The second way is to do things through your phone if you have a Bluetooth module. You go into the app’s settings, find the section to configure your ALP online, click “Modify” to go to the website online, create all your settings on the website, save the settings, then download those saved settings through the app again to apply them to your ALP. ![]()
