cheap radar signal generators
Your playing with fire, if misused you don't know what those units can
potential emit, where 100 feet might not be a safe distance, and when you think it's working ... is it really? For the added cost, it would be very much worth while to mate the scanner to a display following the installation instructions (available on line in most cases), then you will be sure the scanner is being driven at the appropriately output level to be a valid test for your kit, and you can verify the operation of the radar (by looking at the display), play with various radar settings (e.g. tuning low through high in the x-band), by following the instructions have a much safer situation for yourself, and as a bonus providing power is as simply as using a car battery. .... and if this is to much work, then there is still the original option of going down to the marina.

Well, my idea was to remote-control one of these unit placed in the backyard, at a "safe" distance Thank you |
