How To Identify Bogeys
Look first at the Radar Locator. If it points to the side, the bogey is non-
threatening—radar can’t get you from the side. If the Locator points ahead or
behind, try for visual identification. When the Locator changes from Ahead
to Beside and then Behind, you can be sure the bogey is safely
behind you.
Check the Bogey Counter. Many non-radar devices occur in multiples. For
example, most microwave door sensors have at least two transmitters (for In
and Out). Often such an installation will have multiple doors, too, so there
will be many transmitters. When you see two or more on the Bogey Counter,
and particularly when you see it counting up quickly to four or more, you’ve
likely found a nest of door sensors.
Burglar-alarm microwave sensors are often multiples, too, because a
single transmitter is not enough to safeguard an entire building. However,
microwaves from alarms are less likely to leak out of buildings. So alarms
may appear singly or in low multiples.
Single bogeys must be regarded as threats until you see them or put them
safely behind you.
Remember, too, that radar beams are easily reflected. Buildings, overhead
signs and passing traffic are all good reflectors. When you have a strong
signal from one direction, don’t be surprised if the Radar Locator shows brief
flickers from another direction also as you drive by reflectors.
And never forget that a brief alert, acting alone, may be Instant-on radar
zapping other traffic.
