1. Vertical Mounted radar detector Escort 9500i - KA band

I have uploaded two videos to show that vertical mounting is better in Perth Western Australia. The Multanova 6F in Perth is horizontally polarized so mounting your radar detector vertically works best.

Multinova on Scarborough beach rd.
Going 60km/h, detector is blocking out industrial K bands in Osbourne Park and picks up the multinova from around the corner. The Multinova is on the second light post after the turn when the detector goes crazy.

Check out the horizontal mounted pass by video.

Unfortunately u can't get them anymore because the GPS makes it so heavy that when it is mounted it was so heavy that it would point to the sky.

I bought a little door knob thing that looks like a lil piece of chocolate from bunnings and sanded it down and wedged it in so it would point straight ahead LOL dodgey but hey it works :P

its home made.. I'm sure u could make one too.. two clips $10 each.. some metal -width of the clips bent into an L shape.. n some bolts to put them together.

Oh I see, do you know where I could get one of these? I'm all for increased detection range, though it does look a bit funny mounted like this :)

I find detection range varies significantly from radar to radar, a few I have got very little range, and some I have got fairly high range compared to my 2 year old bel, sometimes it seems like less though....

I usually go past radars on Wanneroo road and as you would know it's fairly hilly so range is not all that constant.

It's a custom made clip.. Consists of two normal mounting clips and a L shaped piece of metal and some bolts to hold them together. It's not that hard to take off. just the same thing you'd do with normal mounting plus a little rubber piece.

Do you find that you don't get enough warning with it mounted regularly? I remember it just goes crazy - no ramp up or anything and the multinova is like 10 meters away.

Mate how did you mount this?

I just mount my 9500 regularly, but that looks a bit troublesome if you are continually taking the radar detector of the windscreen.
