Since Radar signals travel in a straight line,this Radar
encounter potentially offers maximum warning range.Once
the signal is received,the initial warning consists of the X,K
or Super Wideband Ka audio and visual alerts and the simul-
taneous illumination of a signal strength digit.The actual
digit displayed will depend upon the strength of the signal
received.As the strength of the Radar signal increases,the
audio alert becomes more rapid and the signal strength digit
will progressively increase.Assuming the Radar signal
remains uninterrupted,the audible and visual alerts will
clearly indicate a “weak”signal becoming stronger as you
drive closer to the Radar source.Remember,when the police
Radar source is moving toward you,the Radar signal strength
will increase much more rapidly than if you are approaching a
stationary source.

Under this circumstance,reaction time is considerably
reduced.Since the Radar signals are transmitted across your
line of travel,there is generally no signal available to receive
until you are relatively close to the source.Once an alert is
received,expect the strength of the signal to increase very
quickly.Advanced warning in this situation may be reduced.
