At the time of it's release in 1999, MPH's exclusive POP technology was the only radar technology that could measure a vehicle speed without setting off any radar detectors. This technology was made possible by MPH’s expertise in manufacturing microwave sources that can turn on and stabilize quickly and by digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. The radar can obtain a speed reading in milliseconds, which is far faster than an operator can operate a switch.

The NEW "POP" Bee III DSP Radar

When the MPH radar is placed into POP mode, the radar emits a short burst of energy and quickly measures the vehicle's speed. The radar then goes immediately into standby and displays the obtained speed for a couple of seconds. The entire measurement happens so quickly that the NO radar detector could detect it with any accuracy.

Some radar detector manufactures are claiming that POP radar is nothing to worry about, and legally police cannot write you a ticket when using POP radar. We think this is totally ridiculous! Since most radar detectors cannot detect POP radar with any good accuracy, certain radar detector manufactures have used this as a defense.

Police departments all over the US are spending large sums of money to purchase and use POP radar guns, so you better believe they will write you a ticket if they detect you speeding while using their new POP radars. Although the new Bee III DSP POP radar is very expensive, this unit can generate a staggering amount of revenue from people who think their current radar detector is protecting them. Unfortunately, this means police are using POP radar more and more - while giving out more speeding tickets than ever before.

While most radar detectors today have now become virtually useless in many areas - as they cannot detect this new radar, fortunately Whistler has developed radar detectors that can defeat POP radar with accuracy!
