Road Angel detector with heated windscreen

[bongomania]

Does the laser detector work ok through the front windscreen?

Are there any problems with picking up satelites?

[rubystone]

Yes to the heated screen question and no to the satellite question - I've found that I can't even squeeze the smaller of the Sputnik series into the boot of my Caterham

I have a Cylops unit and it works fine in the Cat. If you have difficulty with picking up sats they have an extra antenna for it to go somewhere it will pick them up.

The unit is small and light and has a nice bright very clear display unlike Road Angels tiny dull screened effort.

Ok - will just have to find some midget japanese satellites to fit in the boot - expect they make them as they make miniture subs and all sorts of other miniature paraphernalia.

i'm amazed this rumour comes and goes. all detectors i've tried in our SV work just fine through a heated screen.

our BeL 9901(nternational) works better than our BeL Vector LR did, which was very good

Oi you lot. Get over to blatchat and stay there where you belong

The problem with picking up things through screens comes when they have the metal coatings. If you look at a Renault Scenic in sunlight the windscreen appears coloured (purple I think) these can prevent sattelite signals getting through.
