In my opinion there pointless, unless you go to illegal drags etc. If its just for cruising an you wanna really know were the cops are get a radar detector. Illegal in all states but WA though, so be careful.

radar detectors

[TVR-190]

I have a UHF / Scanner, its not digital though. can still pick up rural police and city fire/ ambo etc always good for a laugh listening to the cops.

[Drift_Clown_VN]

[TVR-190]

if your not in W.A dont bother

[azza77]

radar detectors

well since you dont live in WA i cant really recommend a place but if you did here is a good place to start. PS, these units retail for $1200 in WA...

about the same amount as the fine for having one in any other state, where the police have radar detector detectors

wat knida trouble can you get in for using one in NSW?

Used to have one, got it taken off me and lost 2 points. SHould have seen it coming considering it was a dinosaur of a unit. Theres some pretty awesome units around now but, undetectable ones the link i gave you. I dont speed enough to find reason to buy one anymore but have herd alot of great things about them.

9 demerit points and about a 1k fine now i think

[azza77]

9 demerit points and about a 1k fine now i think

global economy must have effected fines too. haha. jeez thats a bit.
worth it? not finding out.

[Drift_Clown_VN]

so its not worth having one unles its an awsome undetcetable one.

[TVR-190]

yes, which will probably become detectable shortly after you buy it

[azza77]

They do state they are 'completely undetectable' and will never be detected because of there revolutionary design, but how many years have these units been out and how many test would have been conducted on em. Only a matter of time.

where the police have radar detector detectors

so what if ya got a radar detector detector detector, that way you detect them with your detector before they detect you with their detector and you can turn it off, all unless they have a detector detector detector detector lol

sorry couldnt help myself, it reminded me of the movie ''the big hit''

[thedeadwalk]

the raidar detectors are not worth the money any more can't pick up the new raidars.

as for the scaners i got one in the house scans all freq's till it picks some thing up and the police come up with some funny things at times

Unfortunatly if you are in Melbourne you won't be able to listen to the police because all their voice transmissions are scrambled.However,you can still listen to the ambulance and fire brigade etc.

[blackdoggg]

Kinda sliding off the point, but i love listening to the CFA transmittions
My mate got one, because hes in the cfa and VERY into it. But yeah he got one so he can have it on when hes goign to the station for a call out so he has an idea of whats happening. But he leaves it on just cruising around, its good fun to listen to i reckon! Interesting as!

Ambos are now on the same digital network as the police. Their networks are encrypted.
