- I'm far from an RF expert (and keep in mind that theory and practice of RF,
- especially the "practice" part, can get a little bit strange up in the GHz
- ranges used by police radar).... however I do know that there is at least one
- company, Bel, selling a radar detector that is claimed to be invisible to the
- radar detector detectors.
-
- I imagine that "properly shielding" the unit is kinda tough when it has to have
- an open feedhorn to receive the signals it's trying to detect!
