After you know this you can turn off the other frequencies for longer detection range.
* New Exclusive TotalShield(tm) Technology - Our new TotalShield Technology makes the STiR Plus completely invisible against any type of radar detector detector. Not only will it keep you unseen by all current radar detector detectors, (RDDs), it's designed to be completely...Read more
