    Newbie question

    Hello,

    If I have the Net Radar/ALP combination, I've read that the Net Radar is not "invisible" to RDD, but only within 24 feet of the front of the vehicle.

    So... if I were to get pulled over somewhere like Canada, is there a way to turn off the system so that it isn't detectable at all?

    Just press the power button.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    If you're in a banned Province, it would be prudent to turn power OFF 300ft BEFORE you get close to Him !

    Cool, so the power button on the ALP controller will turn off both the Net Radar and the ALP?

    Thanks!

    Just for the record; in case anyone else has the question, the answer given was incorrect.

    Pressing the power button does not turn off the radar detector. It will still be detectable. In order to be undetectable, you need to splice into the power and have a switch in the car.

    Not doubting you, just hoping to learn
    How did you come to this conclusion?

    Screw this LOL stuff. If they don't find it humorous on their own, then let 'em take it seriously.

    This is nonsense. When powering off the system with the power button the antenna has no power and there is nothing to detect.
