Cheetah Sentinel

[PyrotiX]

Well, I was given a Cheetah Sentinel to try out because where I am radar detectors are illegal and the police are equipped with Spectre.

So assuming the SML 2006 tests were accurate and the word of Cheetah was creditable I installed it.

WELL.. I just got our Spectre III the other day and tested it.. BAM straight away it was detected. In fact it was detectable from 250+ meters away.



I am wondering how many people have been caught out by this..

how well does it perform?

[PyrotiX]

Surprisingly well, as the site boasts it can pick up radar from behind from between 600-800m and front on up to 1km away.

Wow..it was picked up by the Spectre III at about 700 feet away...thats very bad. i'm glad there are no Spectre's in or near my area.

I have heard the K-band range on the thing is insane even compared to the V1...Some people were discussing using that to detect just K-band for their set-up

Is there a special freq. for euro k-band guns that would be different then the US K-band guns?

Yes, they differ slightly but still fall within the North Amerinnca K band range. For example most (Gatso, Mesta, etc) are in the 24,125GHz and the new Multaradar C is in the 24,100GHz, but since american K-band is at 24,150GHz, its close enough given a +/-100MHz listening range.

With my V1 I get better distance on Multanova6FM Ka-34.36GHz,than on MultaRadar-C K-24.100GHz.
MultaRadar-C set a new standard for K-band radars.This thing is amazing.
The other day,I came across MultaRadar-C with my RX-65 and I got 3sec. warning with the radar antenna was pointing in my direction.If the antenna would be facing away from me,I'm not sure if RX-65 would even alert.The problem is that,I don't know if I reacted in time,before picture was taken,because I didn't have enough time to slow down.When RX-65 gave the alert I was doing 80km/h in 50km/h zone.I managed to slow down to around 60-65km/h,before I passed the radar.I keep my fingers crossed!
There's also another problem with MultaRadar-C and that's the horizontal polarization of the antenna.In Europe we normally mount our RDs in vertical position to inprove Multanova6 detection,but if MultaRadar-C is also used in your area,you will get nailed,if you have vertically mounted RD.Even DSI spectrum analyser,which is the best at detecting M6F,Multa-C,Gatso...etc,. struggles with MultaRadar-C
