![]() We carry the best radar laser detectors, with full Canadian warranty and customer support. Now to sell some of the old lady's jewelry and my recumbent bike.KMPH specializes on radar and laser countermeasure for the Canadian market. And If I am going to engage in electronic warfare, I would want the best. I don't even ride that fast.about 85 MPH.but I would love to know when I'm being tagged by radar and to be protected against laser. So, for the cost of entering the IBR, you can get the ALP/NetRadar DSP system and would have front and rear coverage for radar and laser detection, and front and rear laser jamming capabilities. We know how good the NetRadar DSP is and I would be confident with the TPX, but you're now at the cost of the full-blown ALP/NetRader DSP package and you'll have a lot more work installing it. Trying the TPX and NetRadar DSP? Well now you're at $2,700. So, let's say you want an R7 and the TPX.you shell out $1,950 for a system that has many compromises and limitations.and don't forget- you'll be shutting down your R7 in VA and other locations. The radar is, again, invisible to Spectre and other guns like it. The radar detector has very long range and the laser jammer kills to gun almost every single time. Now when getting a full ALP/NetRadar DSP system, the price isn't $3,200 but a-still-jaw-dropping $2,740, but for that, you are getting a system that is constantly being updated and is, without question, the best out there. The icing on the cake is that both the ALP laser system and the NetRadar DSP are completely controlled through your Android phone or iPhone. For that, you get two DSP heads that detect everything, have excellent BSM filtering, are totally weatherproof (these are designed to be externally mounted), have no attention-seeking lights, and is totally immune from Spectre detection. The NetRadar DSP matches the range and features of the R7, but costs way more.about $1,600. So not bad, but also not too acceptable given the disadvantages listed above. Can't have that, can we? For costs, I would need a mount (about $100 for everything), that Sena (about $150), and the R7 ($600), for an estimated total of $850, not including any wiring harness needed. So riding with this thing on in certain areas would get you pulled over and possibly fined. Finally, it's bad enough it can't hide from the Spectre, but it also can't hide visually from a cop riding by. There isn't any other visual alert system as found with the V1 and Adaptiv systems, nor is there any way to control it with an external device (like a phone). To hear audio, you would have to run an AUX audio cable from it to your headset or use that Sena device that connects multiple devices to one unit. I feel it would be very difficult to operate with gloves on and maybe the display would get washed-out in the bright sunlight. The R7 isn't weatherproof, though we all know how to work around that. ![]() If I were only driving a car, I would get this device, but we are talking about MC's here. Unfortunately, it can't hide from radar detector detectors, like the Spectre. The R7 is the best windshield mount out there and better than many of the installed units costing several times more. I would suspect it would still do the job given what I've seen so far. Still, we know ALP is for all intents and purposes, undefeatable, whereas the TPX is a new player to the game. Cost would be about $1,100, which is about $500 less than the ALP system. However, I think it would be good to buy two sets (instead of one set plus one optional head), and have one pair facing front and the other pair to the rear, with each pair being its own separate system. However, the laser jamming capabilities from the stand-alone TPX are excellent, even though it only supports one (optional) head in the rear, and sadly, one isn't enough to block the more difficult-to-jam guns like the various Dragon Eye systems. I haven't really found much on the Adaptiv radar detector, but from what I have seen is that it is.not good. Sure, it can mostly get the job done, just as one can complete the IBR on a 1950s machine. I'll just start with this: The V1 is well-past its prime, even with the different apps available. I finally signed-up for the Radar Detector Forums and have been pouring over the test data people have been providing. I think the first system I was looking at was the AL Priority and NetRadar DSP, but WOW is that system costly (just over $2,700!). I've been toying with this whole idea of installing a radar detector and laser detector/jammer for a while now.
