What’s The Best Radar Detector For You?
To narrow down what might be the best radar detector for you, consider the following: Where do you drive? What kind of vehicle do you drive? How many miles do you drive? Do you drive more locally or for longer distances? Do you intentionally speed or find yourself accidentally over the limit? Do you drive primarily on interstates and highways or more rural roads? What's your budget? Are you looking for something portable to move from vehicle to vehicle? Or would you prefer something that is installed? These are the questions a K40 Consultant asks a potential customer to determine the best radar detector solution for them and the proper customizable settings. There are many factors to consider when looking for the "best" radar detector. The best radar detector for one driver may not be the best for another. Whether you're an enthusiast or an everyday driver who doesn't want the hassle and expense of getting a speeding ticket, you have choices. In looking for a radar detector, you should consider the following: Sensitivity: The more significant the sensitivity of the radar detector, the more signals it will report from greater distances. K40 Sensitivity: Our Platinum Series radar detectors use LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) technology to boost signals, which gives you optimum range. Selectivity: This is the filtering technology of a radar detector. It allows the radar detector to receive and reject signals that do not precisely match police radar frequencies. K40 Selectivity: K40 radar detectors minimize false alerts and allow you to customize which police radar band frequencies they scan for. K40 engineers balanced sensitivity and selectivity into K40 products, giving the driver time to slow down to avoid a speeding ticket while minimizing false alerts. Every K40 Electronics radar detector includes a KBF or K-Band Filter. KBF features advanced signal processing that automatically evaluates and ignores signals from vehicles equipped with radar-based safety features. K40's built-in K-Band Filtering is automatically activated when the system is turned on. There's nothing to turn on or configure. More importantly, this filtering technology does not reduce detection range or performance. All K40 radar detectors have a FILTER button. With the FILTER button, you can select from the following settings to further customize your radar detector selectivity: HIGHWAY – Maximum range and sensitivity on X, K, and Ka-band police radar signals. This setting is for highway travel or any area in which you are unfamiliar with the types of radar used. CITY – Decreased range and sensitivity on X, K, and Ka-band radar signals. Use when traveling in an urban area [...]
