Paid for itself...

[bomber]

I was given an inexpensive detector a few years ago.

It was on the bike when I got my only ticket in 10 years.

It DOES, however, accurately point out the location of every convenience store, pizza joint, bar (that reheats frozen "food"), and AM radio station transmitter within 2 miles.

Prettyhandy, now that I think on it.

I have used detectors since the Fuzzbuster II days, to say they paid for themselves would be a huge understatement. I have  trunk tracking scanners in my cars along with det, they allso alert when Police units with mobile extenders are within 3 miles of me, very handy on the open road. The radar detectors now have great features, mine has voltage monitor and compass and you can program out bogus frequencies and it shuts off if they're scanning for radar detectors.

So yesterday, I'm railing through some twisties...

Hmmm....must have been on an FJR.

Well, that bike does handle like it's on rails

Can someone please tell me what this all means?

BearTracker feature has analog mobile extender channels that many State Police use preloaded on a state-by-state basis. Extenders are the patrol-car-mounted transceivers that are the “helpers” for the cop’s belt-mounted walkie-talkie, which is too weak to get back to the dispatcher by itself. You’ll get an audible and visual alert when in range, just like a radar detector. All you do is enter the state you’re in

So it's more of a LEO detector, rather than a radar dectector? I can see the usefulness . . .thanks, I learned something!

[falconati]

can you post pics of the setup?

Hmmmm...Interesting.

Wonder if it is legal in VA?  

Doubt it...

Can you post links for more information?

I'm looking for a deal on this Handheld  http://www.frys.com/product/4386965    it's suitable for my bikes. For the car any std trunk-tracking scanner  is fine.
My old VFR with new Cobra... works great for low cost, programmable to eliminate most all unwanted freq and bogus alerts plus compass, volt monitor, auto shut off and gps that ties in with the Aura database to alert before you get to speed and redlight photo cams.
You'll find lots of scanner info on the web about what states are legal or not.
I hooked the Cobra to Honda's accessorie plug in so you have to add 1.4 volts to volt reading due to voltage drop at the cluster, same on my XX.
