Powerful New Radar Units In Use by Highway Patrol
Des Moines Iowa. The Iowa Highway Patrol has streamlined radar units that can pick their beam from a new sea highway. Chief T R Mickesch notes the radar is near invisible and designed to trap motorists. Each of 14 patrol districts gets one unit packed in a suitcase sized case. The chrome like antenna sits in a car and wires to dashboard speed indicator and cigarette lighter. no battery needed. These units cost about $1 000 and motorists warned electronic gadgets designed to defeat radar will not work with the new system. A dash gadget selling for about $30 emits a warning buzzer that tips off drivers but the radar operator can time the beam anyway.
