I used to have a Police Speed Radar Detector that let me know when I was approaching a Speed gun. It had a City and highway setting. I remember one time it was going ballistic on what appeared to be a completely empty road, about a mile further along the road I went over a humpback bridge and sure enough there was the Police car and the policeman with his Radar gun.
I have a Valentine 1 Gen 2, it's mounted on my driver side visor and concealment kit. It is an amazing detector, but instant on radar and laser is deadly. You need to understand the alerts, if it beeps for a split second then stops, and does it again it's possible there is instant on up ahead and be cautious. If you flat out speed you're gonna get nailed
It's just a Tetra TMO RF receiver UHF (380-395MHz) which uses 25KHz spacing TDMA 4 Slots. Control channel (continuous) and the traffic channel. Like the Tetra DMO Repeater GB7PR-R which Tx a presence check burst signal every few seconds. The BS continuously and (simultaneously) receive continuously from various mobiles on different carrier frequencies.
Hi, would you know what to use for Australia? Instead of TETRA we use P25 phase 1 and 2 but it's based on regional mobile radio (RMR) What do you think?
Looks like it’s detecting TETRA, 380-395MHz. There was a BlackHat/DefCon “project” around a decade ago called Tetra-Trak (used a modified logo of the milk carton Tetra-Pak) where they initially tried to break the encryption, but then they worked out you only needed to know if certain agencies were nearby - similar to this bit of kit you were using. Sadly when the emergency services migrate to ESN (based off the mobile phone networks) in 2023 this device will no longer work.
I get that the UK doesn't have as many natural disasters as other places, but a cellular system isn't as reliable as land mobile radio. Particularly if the cellular is reliant on the civilian cellular system.
Tetra network they use, when you go past base stations you would also get indications on your little tool. In the UK, TETRA base stations typically transmit in the 390-400 MHz frequency band, which is just below the UHF TV band. Motorola Solutions owns the Airwave TETRA network in the United Kingdom. The Airwave network is a mobile communications network that uses the Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) specification and is used by emergency services in Great Britain.
You can scan tetra ranges for about 1/4 cheaper with a little research folks and python always seem to be sold out sooo, I'm waiting for the stuff in the post right now and I'll be making my own detector.
@@pteppig How do you think or what would I need to do this in australia? We have p25 phase 1 and 2 and it runs on Regional mobile radio. It's mostly VHF Thanks

May seem like an obvious question, but could you scan 380-385MHz (which is what Python monitors) with Attenuation on (or a rubbish rubber duck aerial, to narrow down on too much range) and listen for a signal to know when an emergency vehicle is nearby ?.
Yes you can scan 380-385mhz, you don't really need to attenuate as the radios put out such a weak signal you actually need a pretty decent antenna to pick them up any distance away.

If stopped by the plod, what's your reason its in use sir? To warn of emergency services. No sir, that's what you eye's, ears and mirrors are for. Get a proper Alpine or similar integrated unit and your fine, otherwise points coming your way.
Ears and eyes are too short sighted. It's 2023 we can do better than that. I wanna know long before the sirens come on that there's something around. The amount of times ambulances and cops have slammed into drivers with no lights or sirens on is actually a lot. In the US there's lot of data on this. Hence the need for a product like this
"Fuzz Buster"! It's what used to call a similar device, to evade "radar detectors" which were really only illegal if you were using in while driving a semi tractor-trailer (truck driving, over the road, long haul) which in some states (USA) may have been, and might still be) a felony!

Nice video. You failed to say what model number your using. I tried to make purchase today and was met by a pleathera of options. Come on guys. Give model number out please.
Some older Uniden scanners such as the BCT7 would detect the frequency of a handheld or extender repeater used in state police/highway patrol cars in the USA. In the case of the BCT7 anyways, these were in a preloaded bank at the time of manufacture. So today the frequencies used might be outdated.
@@andykirby Thanks 😊, that what I thought too. I know you us Tetra in the UK 🇬🇧, but there are various systems here such as P-25, etc. I never saw a device like the Python here, only radar detectors, which are only illegal in the state of Virginia and Washington, DC.
@@raymondmartin6737I think I've worked it out. Here in Australia we have p25 too. Everything is encrypted like the USA but the RX is still pulsing. A simple cheap spectrum analyser can see it. Totally legal.
For the range, if your speeding or braking the law in any way the police will be well within view and catch you before it picks it up in time for you to take action 😼
It alerts you way before anything comes into view, the video perhaps doesn't show it as we were always right on top of the radio it detected. Look at the signal strength in the video when we were near the ambulances etc, it's 5 out of 5 LEDS, when the signal is 1 LED the radio could be half a mile away. There's also additional antennas to improve the reception further.
That entry level model only seems to ping when they are right on top of you. The better ranged ones are more viable, however, so expensive. Are they the only company making these or are there (possibly cheaper) alternatives?
I put a higher gain antenna on mine and it picks up far enough away. Because of the nature of tetra beacons you won't always receive them at a predictable distance it can vary massively. You'll increase the false alarms if you increase the gain too much. If you got a magmount whip antenna that covers 380MHz and stick it on the roof you would increase the performance of this model by several times. No need to pay more for the other models.

Hi Andy I love the Ringway Manchester channel - Lewis puts out some fascinating content, I'm a big fan! My Dad was a "Y" operator, Royal Signals Regiment abroad then a radio ham in private life and worked on communications intercepts professionally so the bug bit me at an early age. (As a boy, my Dad would point out antennas and ask if I knew what band they were for!) I also work in aerospace & defence, locating emissions is also a professional interest of mine. Incidentally the Uniden Bearcat UBC-125XLT Handheld Scanner has the "Close Call" feature that shows strong local signals and will show you the frequency - gives you a bit more info than 5 LEDs. Great video! Nice to see you guys together! All the best, Rob in Switzerland
@@andykirby Good question, I don't know. I don't know the characteristics of Tetra - here the blue light organisations use encrypted Polycom, so no chance to experiment :-( Though, reading @Ian H comment below, I DO get "hits" on 380 MHz and slightly higher so maybe it's comparable,
Hi Rob What do you think would work for something in Australia? We operate on regional mobile radio P25 phase 1 and 2 trunked system here. My nate has a UBCD436 I think and we were able to get some data bursts steadily coming through but you have to know the uplink frequency.

For picking up the data bursts of radios what would you suggest for P25 and regional mobile radio? Thanks!
@@thegadgetemporiumaustralia8509 Flattering you should ask, but I’m afraid I don’t know. Your wish was to re-sell the Target Blue-Eye, I guess. I don’t know P25 unfortunately. If you could find out the characteristics you might be able to find something by looking at the specs, I guess.
Good video Andy, now if the coppers pull you over and see your nifty device, my first guess is lets have a closer look at this guy, never draw attention to yourself..
So let's say you're travelling with a herbal remedy. What do you do when the detector flashes? Slow down, turn around, stop? What exactly? Or you're speeding and it flashes... Do you slow down and find out that it's an ambulance or just a parked police car? I think it's best to use in a deserted herb farm so that when it pings, you know they're coming closer. Maybe I'm wrong.
@@sersolo3112 You shouldn't be speeding anyway. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. But I like that it tells you Police are nearby. But as someone said they'll be on cellular networks within a year or so. Good gadget though 👌
@@joez.2794 I already own far superior equipment. A big portable RF detection unit. 0 - 2GHz. RF monitor on any specific entered frequency or set to monitor the whole range. The purpose of the other is to help speeders. My use is not for speeding. But to trace signals.
Hi Andy, I bet your fed up of being asked this question, but, where can I get one? I’ve looked since you made this video but no luck! Do they still make them? I’m a ham and CBer and love all gadgets. I’m also a subscriber to your channel. 73s Eamonn. G4TZV.
I used to use a valantine V1 in conjunction with a uniden scanner looped scanning Tetra ranges. The uniden scanner would lock on to a signal once within about 1km as an early then the V1 pings when it picks up lazer or radar with a direction once nearer.
Very handy if you live in the middle of nowhere with a herb farm.

Sadly when the emergency services migrate to ESN (based off the mobile phone networks) in 2023 this device will no longer work.
The UK EMS Tetra Airwave Service will still be running along side the new ESN Network for quite a few more years.
I get that the UK doesn't have as many natural disasters as other places, but a cellular system isn't as reliable as land mobile radio. Particularly if the cellular is reliant on the civilian cellular system.
Target Blue Eye 2 is future proof and a software update will enable it to detect ESN.
Now if we could get a bit of firmware which could decipher the system and our dv1's will be glued to our ears!!

Kind of correct, it just picks up RF energy in the frequency range of airwave.
This is epic mate
This is mad cause I can tell when there are police or ambulances around so maybe my brain can pick it up
I'm guessing TETRA like DMR or P25 has GPS on some radios.
So that's probably what's beaconing from the ambulance.

Or you're speeding and it flashes... Do you slow down and find out that it's an ambulance or just a parked police car?
I think it's best to use in a deserted herb farm so that when it pings, you know they're coming closer.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Could be useful on the Autobahn at night, then you won't get surprised by uncovered police cars.
What's the point?
When you here it beep slow down and drive like good little boy there might be police / unmarked police around
@@sersolo3112 You shouldn't be speeding anyway. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. But I like that it tells you Police are nearby. But as someone said they'll be on cellular networks within a year or so. Good gadget though 👌
@@JasonTDolan Why do you like knowing when police are nearby? Are you hiding something?
@@joez.2794 I already own far superior equipment. A big portable RF detection unit. 0 - 2GHz. RF monitor on any specific entered frequency or set to monitor the whole range. The purpose of the other is to help speeders. My use is not for speeding. But to trace signals.
Hi Andy, I bet your fed up of being asked this question, but, where can I get one? I’ve looked since you made this video but no luck! Do they still make them? I’m a ham and CBer and love all gadgets. I’m also a subscriber to your channel. 73s Eamonn. G4TZV.
You can't get top model . If know about sdr radio ? I don't im newbie .
I used to use a valantine V1 in conjunction with a uniden scanner looped scanning Tetra ranges.
The uniden scanner would lock on to a signal once within about 1km as an early then the V1 pings when it picks up lazer or radar with a direction once nearer.
