Radar Detector Detectors
As radar detectors are illegal in the state of Virginia, Washington DC, in most commercial vehicles and in many parts of the world, there have been devices to detect radar detectors called Radar Detector Detectors (RDD). As all radar detectors leak a small amount of signal these RDD's are able to pick this up and alert the officer.
The first RDD units were called VG-2.
VG-2 looked for leakage within the 11 to 11.4 Ghz band. Soon after, radar detector companies began using oscillators that were of higher frequency, thereby defeating VG-2. To view the SML Laboratories testing results for VG-2, click here.
The newest threat is the Spectre.
The Spectre is manufactured by Stealth Micro Systems in Queensland, Australia. The Spectre not only looks for leakage in the 11 Ghz. band, but also covers the 13 -15 Ghz bands. Radar Roy has purchased his own Spectre III to test all the newest radar detectors offered on Radar Busters and to date, has not found any radar detector on the market that is immune to this technology.

A new VG-4 is on the Horizon.
Engineered by Hill Country Research of Fredericksburg, Texas. A pro-type of this RDD was obtained for testing.
