All,
	I thought I would ad a little tech spin to this.  I think what is
meant by instant on would be laser.  Difference being that radar is a radio
signal and laser being light.  I am not privy to what frequencies these guys
are using but I can tell you if they are using laser you need reflexes that
are on the order of time travel to not get nailed.  There is a big problem
with detecting laser as well, it is not transmitted out into the world until
the cop pulls the trigger and to boot it requires line-of-sight contact for
detection.
	I think the entire concept of a detector may be predicated on the
idea that you are not going to be the first one getting zapped by whatever
method used.  The only way a detector can receive a signal is when it is out
there to be received.  This only makes the detector effective for radar
signals (ONLY) and in moderate to crowded traffic situations where you are
not as likely to be speeding anyway due to the desire not to die.
	Thinks about this folks before investing whatever these sellers are
asking for their product.
