in the Bar riearea Moving radar units arent new says Traffic Sgt Andy Austin Barrie already has two nthe Elli7 and the Speed tiunt But the K35 says Austin is an improvement Some of the interference we had on the other units has been oirected with the K65 he says Iltltl The beam arcs out to catch moving mass and then bounces back to the computer in the unit says Austin which subtracts the difference between the cruiser speed and Ihat of tlic mass it has picked up While inovning the K75 tracks speeds of all cars com lIlLZ in the opposite direction Stationary the unit shows the aigil speeds of cars

down Another valuable feature of the K35 says Constable llondi is its ability to avoid detection by Iiuxzbustcr All you do is tip the beam up or down so the luzzbuster cant pick it up he said Then at the last minute you point it straight at the car By the time the lUYIitlltl detects our radar heaiii hes beenclocked And drivers who challenge the claim they were going certain speed are in for sur
