The patented technological breakthroughs exclusive to the Snooper range of Radar and Laser Detectors provide demonstrable and significant advantages over any other products on the market.

Fundamental Mixer Technology (FMT ®)

Other manufacturers use a harmonic of the fundamental mixer for X band to detect K and Ka band radar. This dramatically reduces sensitivity on the two most important frequencies.

All Snooper detectors utilise a separate mixer for each frequency which ensures a similar range from X, K and Ka bands. The increase in detection is dramatic as may be seen from the chart below.

Three Band Plus (TBP ®)

Wideband Ka coverage is available on ALL Snooper models. Complete detection of the newly extended Ka band width coupled with FMT technology ensures the user has absolute confidence in detecting all types of radar including the new Stalker Gun.

Radar Signal Verification (RSV)

An advanced signal processing technique that automatically eliminates the most common source of false or spurious information - I.F. (Intermediate Frequency) interference.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

A technology that enhances performance by preprocessing all incoming signals using extracted data to identify each radar signal faster and with greater accuracy.

Eurotech 2000

All Snoopers have been specially developed and modified for the UK and European markets. Both X and K bands have had their respective bandwidths extended to +/- 500 MHz from the centred frequency whilst the filtering systems have also been enhanced to restrict spurious signals as a result of using these wider tolerances.

Other detectors by comparison, confine these bandwidths to a maximum tolerance of just +/- 200MHz in the interest of reducing false signals at the lowest cost. This can mean that radar devices operating outside these tolerances may not be detected.

Off Axis Laser detection

The same Laser technology, recently rated number-one in a test conducted by Car and Driver magazine, is incorporated into all Snooper detectors. This patented technology offers the best in off-axis detection - the most common form of monitoring - and Laser detector's biggest challenge!
