Default Phantom Radar Detector

I just bought one. They say it jams and detects. Anyone know anything about them?

Never used or owned one before, but I heard it does not live up to its claims. Give it a test and let us all know. Hopefully you will have positive results.

Try spotting your speed as you approach those speed detectors by a school zone. Other than that I dont see any concrete ways to test it other than pointing a laser gun at it. Tell us if it works.
