Not so with relatively recent vintage Escorts from Cincinnatti Microwave. They have circuitry to be sure they are receiving pulse modulated signals, as any real range or velocity measuring radar device must use..... Yes, I know this. I was trying to explain why a cheap radar detector may be able to set off other radar detectors and still be quite incapable of jamming a real radar gun. Did I really need to write "another nearby radar detector which can be falseley triggered, (which means most detectors other than recent Escorts)" instead of simply "another nearby radar detector"? I was simplifying the truth, since the fine detail of the truth was irrelevant to answering the question that was asked.
