Is this unit accurate in detecting laser/radar?

While I have not had it very long my husband has driven with it more than I have and said it was very accurate. I will be traveling with it tomorrow across 3 states to put it to it's test. I can't wait!

I have found it to be very accurate, and it has to reviews on other sites as one of the best under $300 radar detectors.

Yes. As mentioned earlier you will be able to quickly determine bullet impact at distances other than your mounted laser site. Remember, if you buy Laserlyte targets your mounted laser will set them off.

Hello,This would be a good unit for ranging without a laser. With some practice you should be able to range from point blank to hundreds of yards. -Derek

YES, I tested the unit I have & The Max I could read was 102 foot. It is almost impossible to see the laser dot at that distance anyway.

Very few depts. use laser. They might not be using laser as much as you think. Mine picks up all other bands here, (KA, K, X) from a mile away. If your picking up other bands from a good distance, I would say your detector is working fine.

Based on my experience with the product I doubt it would. The radar needs a clean line of site, and you basically have to come close to hitting it to get a reading.

Not sure if it would work for a radar detector. It is for use with one large suction cup, if I remember correctly most radar detectors have 2 small cups and I think it would be to wide for the suction surface. Hope this helps

Yes, but there might be small features that do not work with other vender equipment such as this. For instance I can not memorize locations with this one. If I want to do that I have to use the buttons on the detector. But everything else works. I love it and would not drive without it. So great for silencing the unit quickly and having more lights go off when radar is detected. Great unit for the price.

I can't think of any reasons why it would not work outside the US. The only thing there may or may not be an issue with would be red light camera and known speed trap locations. As far as the functionality of detecting radar and laser is concerned, there should be no problems.

Yes, no problem with detection. I mount on the visor without fear of radar from all sides. This is battery operated so carry a spare set but the detector will warn you of low power.

I have not tried that, but it detects a red laser and should work with any visible red laser.

I have not wired it,use on battery.not a great laser detector.i would not recommend it.

Ive had this range finder for 3 years now. It is deadly accurate. Make sure your hitting the pin and its dead on. If the GPS next to you gives a different reading it is wrong. I have had that come up several times. I trust the laser in my hand over the satellite 12000 miles away. If I check GPS locator on my smartphone its never dead on. Misses by 30 feet (10 yards) sometimes.

The spec says no. Even if it can, I wouldn't trust the accuracy because it is out of range. CMRR of the current sensor might not be high enough at that high current.

If you mean is the laser dot bright enough to measure outside, then the answer is YES! And for really sunny days, it has a digital viewfinder which shows the target crosshairs on the video display. Works great!

Detects radar used with speed trap areas. Has free app database that shows known trap areas. Simply put no. It doesn't detect the camera itself. Most of those spots don't activate radar til you run the redlight .. So..... Goodluck. Haven't had a ticket since I bought it

Yes it will. It works in a similar fashion as does an AM radio, with respect to detecting lightning. A lightning strike puts out a broad pulse in the EM spectrum which is detectable in several different ways. As to its ability to detect range, that will be based on the closest part of the strike to your detector and not necessarily its point of origin or destination. Your distance accuracy will vary while underway, considering your in motion. Also note, the Acu-Rite will not give you direction in the case of not directly observable or simultaneous strikes.
