Anti Radar Device Sold to Motorists
NORTE TONAWANDA NY UPD An electronic firm here has developed adevice for motorists to seek out and neutralize radar speed traps. The Radar Sentry by Radatron weighs 1 ounce and is palm sized with a battery. It provides distant warning from 1200 to 1500 feet, helping drivers slow before police radar can measure speed. Company founder William L Waytena says it responds to complaints about radar tactics but stresses it does not enable speeding. The device mounts on the dash or visor and emits a whistle as radar beams approach, with limited effective range to prevent misuse.
