| Defensive Equipment Tests. This Page covers equipment that I have been sent and with the help of a few friends (inc. Police) we put under test, and we will give you our views on the products, not the salesman's views. Not all manufactures of equipment want us to test their equipment, wonder why...? So all not all the equipment on the market may be tested. If you have any equipment you have bought and you want to send us your views on how well it works or doesn't for that, let us know.

Vector Europa 966R Motorbike

| Approaching back of Gatso. Range in feet (metres) |
Other detectors in this test for comparison as the distances can vary from test to test.
Please note: Detection range will vary depending on mounting position and type of car and wind screen. We suggest you try different positions in you vehicle to maximise range. If you are approaching the face of a gatso you can expect ranges of 3x what is shown above in most cases. Speed v Distance covered. |
Alarm Mode, the boom light is bright and clear,
the closer to the radar you get the faster it flashes,
the head unit shows the signal and type.
Handheld radar was not a problem, the tester was getting readings from the Vector Europa 966R before he could even see the police officer, a range of over a mile and a half was reported.
Laser Gun Test.
The Laser gun was used in two ways, the first test
was directly at the bike with a car behind, although the detector
worked and was instant on alarm, the Target Laser Echo 850 did all
the work, no signal was taken off the bike and therefore no speed
was shown on the display. The second was only with the bike the
results were the same no speed reading. This bike was immune to
laser, and believe me the officers were trying very hard to get
a reading.
Can we recommend it, YES, we can,
This is a real ticket saver.
Remember a Target Laser Echo 850 was also fitted to the bike.
Car owners can also have this unit in a car format.
