$300 for the detector and it probably saved me almost that much today. Had I not slowed down, he probably would have pulled me over since I was "first in line." Sure enough, he was aiming for the RX-7, and a little ways up the freeway, he had just pulled it over. He gunned it and was approaching behind me when I pulled over into the #2 lane to get out of his way. Needless to say, the Chippy lit up his light bar after I had passed him. The RX-7 continued on, blissfully unaware of the radar emmissions bouncing off his car. I decided at this point that the cop was either on the other side of the freeway or he was just around the bend.Īs soon as I rounded the bend, I had slowed down to about 65mph only to receive a full blast of the cops Ka Band radar gun. Probably a fluke I thought, but as I continued on, the signal got stronger and stronger slowly. Well, the freeway came to a bend, and my radar detector made a cautious beep. I'd been following him for about 6-7 miles, ever since I got on the freeway. I was doing about 80-85 for much of the drive home.Ībout 4 car lengths in front of me, a guy in a Mazda RX-7 was doing about the same speed. I had my music a little loud and was enjoying the fact that I had the next three days off of work.Īs a result, I was being a bit more liberal with my speed on the freeway. Falcon Net connector: Integrated male socket with female cable connector.Today was a half day at work, and the freeways were empty.Falcon Net adapter: For a serial connection between Falcon Net and PC.Options: Integrated male socket with female cable connector.Other features: Network capability, up to 15 detectors per bus line.Operational temperature range: -40° – +70° Celsius.Data protocol, format: CSMA / CD, binary.Power supply (nom, min, max): 12V / 8V – 36V DC.Transmit frequency & power: 24.165 GHz / 5mW.Detected direction: uni- or bidirectional.Sensor type: CW stereo-Doppler radar, planar module.Traffic density and travel time calculation.Traffic jam warning, wrong direction driver warning.Radar detector network connected to traffic counter systems (single vehicle data, vehicle counting and classification, speed, net time gap, …).Radar detector network connected to traffic management systems.A RS 485 / RS 232 network adapter for a simple PC connection is optional available. The detection distance range is adjustable. Detects approaching and / or leaving vehicles (detection direction adjustable). With a typical mounting angle of 45° the detector delivers speed, length value for vehicle classification and inter-vehicle net time gap when a vehicle passes the beam. Falcon Net 3 (11° x 18° antenna) with higher distance range for mounting in overhead or sidefire position with an elliptic radar spon on the lane. Falcon Net 2 (11° x 11° antenna) for mounting in an overhead position with a lane selective round radar spot. Every Falcon Net is assigned with an unique network address on the network bus with up to 15 detectors. Its RS 485 multi-point communication supplies nearly real-time data for a traffic controller. Microprocessor controlled radar detector with network communication for use in traffic management systems. A short survey of applications and technology of Falcon radar detectors.
