Hi
been looking at Escort 9500ix radar detector and about to buy now
It has operating bands:
ka-band 34.700 GHz +/- 1300MHz
Laser 904nm, 33MHz bandwidth

http://www.dontgetcaught.com.au/speedcameras.html
While Perth is using Multanova & Vitronic Poliscan
Multanova (Ka band) is being phrased out by Vitronic Poliscan (laser based) now, may I ask if Escort 9500ix can handle the Vitronic Poliscan?

For laser speed camera, are they all in the same band?
(Laser band in 9500ix is 904nm 33MHz)

Just want to make sure the 9500xi can pick up the laser signal from the Poliscan

Many thanks for your advice.

Laser can't be detected in advance. It pretty much warns you of laser at about the same time as the cops can get a speed readout. A laser jammer is the way to go for laser.

You guys are high tech peeps

wouldn't that be obvious to them though that you have a detector/jammer?

The fines are huge in nsw if you get caught with a radar detector.

Wish these were legal here. Good luck working it out.

Hi,

I had a V1 Radar detector for years and it does detect laser and the new Vitronic Poliscan, however the range of detection varies greatly depending on how the camera is setup.

I had the thing warn me well outside of the camera's detection range (over 200m, camera's max detection range is 75m), if the camera is setup more facing a straight line to the road.

However the range decreases greatly when the they place the camera at a sharp angle to the road or if they set it up for a rear facing setup, in both of those cases you will get very little warning.

The Vitronic Poliscan (cameras on the side of the road) can be detected in advance, from my understanding (researching via the radar forums) they work via scanning the road at 50Hz (or something) and a decent RD can pick up the signal outside the camera's (theoretical max) speed detection range of 75m when placed under ideal conditions.

Lets just say that my V1 has saved me a couple of times from a fine in the mail or have reduced my fine from a higher range to a lower range one

But yes you will get zero advance warning if it was a cop aiming his hair dryer at you, as the reading would be instant, fortunately for me cops with radar guns are fairly rare sight around my area and commonly travelled routes.

RDs are legal to use in WA (only state in Australia) , HWPs here don't carry radar detector detectors (yes that's a real thing lol) so they can't detect your RD or there are certain stealth RDs you can buy (along with stealth installs) to counter those HWP's RDDs if you want to use one in the eastern states (I'm not liable if you get caught though... ).

I had my RD for several years now.

Laser jammers are the best defence against the new cameras, but not legal though.

There are stealth install options for those 2 and some jammers (like the AL priority) have the option of turning themselves off after a preset amount of time when it detects that it is jamming something to reduce the risk of police suspicions.

Thanks.
I read that Multanova has been phrased out, so, Ka band radar detector is kinda useless here in Perth (at least for metro area). Multanova are being used at rural area now.

I also read that Poliscan (904nm laser) pretty much read your speed already by the time you got alert from the RD?
Valentine 1 is known to be the best, but I have seen a used Escort 9500ix at nearly half of its original price and that's why I am tempted.
While the speed camera in Perth are Poliscan (LIDAR), do you still recommend getting the Escort 9500ix?
Or better save the money and eventually get a laser jammer or AL Priority?
