Over The Hill
Radar Detector Testing

The sensitivity of a radar detector, is an important factor in determining its ability to detect a radar signal over a hill. Line of sight reception is much easier and the sensitivity of a detector is directly related to its ability to see around corners or over a hill. The better sensitivity of a detector, the better it performs over the hill.
