Since Radar signals travel in a straight line,this Radar
encounter potentially offers maximum warning range.Once
the signal is received,the initial warning consists of an X,K or
Super Wideband Ka audio alert coupled with simultaneous
identification of the Radar band (X,K or Ka) and signal
strength in the Text Display.The number of bar graph segments
displayed depends upon the strength of the signal received.As
the strength of the Radar signal increases,the audio alert
becomes more rapid and the bar graph will display the
maximum number of five segments (bel 980 will also display
the digit “9”) indicating maximum signal strength.Assuming
the Radar signal remains uninterrupted,the audible and
visual alerts will clearly indicate a “weak”signal becoming
stronger as you drive closer to the Radar source.Remember,
when the police Radar source is moving toward you,the Radar
signal strength will increase much more rapidly than if you
are approaching a stationary source.
2. Stationary Radar aimed around a corner
Under this circumstance,reaction time is considerably
reduced.Since the Radar signals are transmitted across your
line of travel,there is generally no signal available to receive
