Hi!
I got a radar detector, gladly didn't buy it, and got a problem - it doesn't work.
Well I know why - windshield! It is protected with some kind of a layer, that doesn't allow radiation in from the sun and maybe something more.
And of course it doesn't let in radio waves from police radars.
So I thought a simple solution - get a radar detector with an external antenna, but that was a problem, because there were no such things.
As far as I know then these detectors are like radios - they have an antenna and they make a sound when they find a radio wave and the laser detector isn't much different - it uses a diode to detect light (I think).
So if it is quite that simple, then why there are no external antennas for these radar detectors (there are no models from any vendor that would support it)?
And maybe I could make it outside - add wires and glue it somewhere...
I know for Wi-Fi's there are special coaxial cables that allows to move the antenna, sadly I don't know if it works.
