Does anyone know the range at which the radar starts to detect signals?

No, it will alarm at the detector to warn you. however you will not be able to tell what band of radar it is detecting. I run mine quite frequently without the Cobra app running.

The X and K bands are mostly detected from electronic doors ,it was never consistant enough to figure out a pattern,My other radar detector works very well and I can develope a pattern of where the noises or bands are coming from(its a beltronics)

The answer to your question also varies. If the laser or radar can't read your speed, then your detector may not be able to detect it either. I have driven on rural roads, highways, hill country and where I live and drive, mostly Houston is flat. I have had this detector for over a year and it has never failed me so far. You won't be disappointed. I have always been alerted much before I am able to see the cop, giving me ample time to slow down.

You can download the iRadar (by cobra) app from the App Store. I use it to configure the Radar Detector and gain access to the Aura Database (warnings while driving).

Not long at all unless it is obstructed. If I put it near a window it starts locating them immediately, then picks the strongest signals to use.

Range is not far. About 200 yards is perfect. Anymore then that and you'll start braking up and hearing static.

My experience has been that the signal begins to weaken at about 100'. Before I purchased this system, I called a tech rep at RCA to ask specific questions, one of which was the signal range. He told me it is designed to have up to 200 meters, which is around 600'! If you're using it at home, it should be plenty, but I use it at work, and am very displeased with the limited signal range.

The manual says the rf range is up to 450ft. depending on receiver. Mine is about 100 ft away from the 330a and works very well. At first mounted my sensor in the sun and it had a lot of false alarms, I was able to move to the shade and it is very dependable. The detection range on my sensor is pretty close to 40 ft. and it is mounted 8 ft off the ground.

I don't have a radar gun but I'm guessing maybe 10-15 mph. It's faster than your usual 6v toy rc. This was actually the last toy grade I purchased before going hobby grade. Go hobby grade.

The manual implies up to 50 feet. I deliberately aimed my unit to try and cover a limited area, but it seems to detect people at about 25', cats at about 12' and moving cars at about 40'. I'm sure the range would be greater if I aimed the sensor up a bit more.

I never tried to see how far the signal would actually reach, but one of the cameras is located on the back corner of my 48' long house under the eave, and the other is located on the front corner of my house on the same side pointed in another direction, also mounted under the eave of the roof. The monitor/lcd screen is located by a window in a computer room about 15' from the camera in the back, and about 25' from the camera in the front. The reception is indicated by a status bar ( one line -five lines, like a cell phone I guess ) on the screen for each camera. The closest camera in the back shows four bars, the one in the front shows three bars. The antennas on the cameras were moved ( they spin around ) until optimum reception was found.

Hello, this device detect radars that are used by the police. This radar detector is able to detect laser radars and radars based on K, X, and Ka band. It works very nice.

I believe within 300-500 fts (not yard b/c 1yard = 3ft). The further away, the signal is weak and sometime it disables itself. It is great within a house (downstair and upstair.) I hope the info will help you in making the selection.

I have the xrs 9370 and as you may see from my review it does not give ANY warning against the latest 'police' radars. I would expect the 9570 to not work either. You will always get false alarms, even with the expensive Bells etc.Hope this helps.

No, range is poor if you are lucky enough to see it in the first place on the radar.
