Three Radar Frequencies
Three microwave frequencies have been allocated by the FCC
(Federal Communications Commission) and are used for
traffic Radar: X, K and Super Wideband Ka. Your EXPRESS 935
detects all three bands.
Total Tracking Laser
(TTL”)
Unlike Radar signals, which are highly reflective, Laser signals
have very poor reflective characteristics. Many of today’s
Laser detectors do not have the high sensitivity necessary to
detect Laser within a large “field of view”. EXPRESS 935
incorporate
BEL
S
number one rated Laser detection. Twin
Laser ports detect energy far outside the main Laser beam—
including off-axis signals—provide the largest achievable
“field of view”. The alerts provided by your unit are the
same whether signals are received from the front or rear.
Safety Warning System
®
(sws
)—What is it?
The Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights, Inc.
(R.A.D.A.R.) conceived and developed the Safety Warning
System
®
. The concept behind this system is to warn motorists
of potential road hazards by employing Safety Warning System
®
transmitters in areas such as construction zones, accident
sites and detours. These sws
transmitters operate within
the 24 GHz portion of the K band frequency, and broadcast
uniquely coded signals that are detected by your unit.
