Bee III POP
Radar Detector Test
MPH has developed POP mode for use in their police radar guns. POP mode allows an officer to send a quick "burst" to allow an officer to get a quick and accurate speed checks without alerting approaching vehicles. MPH claims that 95% of all the radar detectors in use today cannot pick-up their radar guns while being operated in their POP mode.

However when an officer uses this POP mode, he is unable to lock a violators speed into his gun, nor is he able to establish a tracking history of the target vehicle, until he switches over to conventional mode.
Many radar detector companies have been discounting the importance of POP radar because of the officer's inability to lock on or to establish the tracking history. However POP is gaining in popularity as evidenced with the Nevada Highway Patrol now outfitting their patrol cars with POP radar.
The following are the Bee POP results from the 2003 Speed Measurement Laboratories testing:
