Does anyone have accurate information pertaining to the Eaton Vorad radar causing interference to police speed radar?
 
How about ANY information. I beleive that the Eaton Vorad can interfere with the operation of some police radar units,causing the police radar to think that our tractor is travelling faster than it actually is. I was hoping that this theory may have been investigated by someone.
 
Your vorad is not a radar. It is a cruise and safety warning device. It does not transmit nor recieve radar frequencies. Therefore it does not affect police radar in any way.

It absolutely is radar, both pulse and doppler radar (see link below,) so it does transmit and receive radar signals. There are so many specifications of radar that it may not interfere with the ones police use.

I still think it may affect police radar. If you will, try to find some evidence. I have talked to several Police officers who are radar trained and they beleive my theory could have some merit. And also, VORAD is an acronym for V-ehicle O-nboard RAD-ar.

We have had several drivers who have received speeding tickets that they swear they did not deserve.( when you know that the trooper is there and you make sure that you slow down below the speed limit and the trooper still comes and gives you a big ticket).
 
if they got a ticket then the shop can do a print out from the computer for the specific times the infraction occured and as long as they were not speeding it can be thrown out in court.
 
it definally sends a signal,the big trucks that run birddogs slowdown when they come by me. It make their dog bark.

Very true..... these truck computers record Everything now days..... throttle posistion,,, gear selection, speed , number And times of 'panic stops', overspeed,,, of course following distance,,,, etc etc....... It remains in the truck until its cleared........ It showed number of times the brakes were applied at all,,,,, 17,000 + in the case I am talking about..... This is another case it will &quot;hang you&quot; OR save you.........
 
radar detector

Don't know if this helps,but a few of us were told by dot that we had radar detectors in our trucks.And were actually pulled behind the scale house and trucks searched for same.They finally determined that it was the vorad system that their radar detector detectors were picking up.
 
whats the difference from the old version of the vorad and the new ?. As far as the doppler. can I forecast the weather ????:hysterical:

They have been told by the company that NO they cannot do that.

They CAN do that and WILL do it if they think they
have a firing offense onboard the computer. They will
do it if they think it will help them with something against
you. Why should they use it to clear you? Without
proof they will have another mark on your record to use
when they deside to help you gain employment with
someone else.

I thought most radar is now laser based. The vorad won't
affect that.
 
Must not be a problem with California highway patrol. I go by 4 to 7 patrol cars a day on my route. I don't speed and never have been stopped.

If you get a ticket you are on your own FedEx will not help you beat it. It is your problem not their's.
 
Old vorad vs. new vorad.

The old vorad is X radar band, and the new vorad is infra red so as
for interfering with radar the new vorad will not interfere with
any band K, Ka, Laser, or dopplar.
If you run a radar unit with the old version of vorad you probably
will set off your own radar unit.
I have a radar unit in my car and I asked Beltronics why I pick up
some of the big rigs on my radar unit. They said it's because the
vorad system transmits a radar signal. And to &quot;tone down&quot; your
radar unit would decrease the affectability of the radar unit.

fedupdal is correct, i got pulled over for doing 70mph in a 45mph construction zone in gurnee,Il which I still don't understand, but fedex just put the truck on the computer and i had to do the rest in court.
