Wide Detection
The KAT500 provides distinct visual and audible alerts to warn you of the presence of X, K, and all kinds of Ka Band radar guns in the front and rear of you. It also provides 360 degree laser detection with adaptive laser tracking (ALT) for better laser performance. Stay alert with a 3.4 mile radar detection range for radar and 2.5 miles for laser.

VG-2 Immunity
VG-2 are devices police use to detect radar detectors. This model provides the benefit of 'undetectability' by alerting you to the presence of VG-2 signals.

Advanced Micro-Scan
Scans the radar bands 2-4 times faster than as any other detector. This allows Rocky Mountain devices to pick up the new P.O.P. radar that no one else can.

Smart-Scan
When Rocky Mountain devices detect radar in one scan, they repeat that scan, instead of completing programmed scans and returning. This means they detect quicker with less false alarms than any other detector.

Safety Alert and Safety Warning System
The The KAT500 unit incorporates the Safety Alerts (SA) and Safety Warning Systems (SWS) detection. This safety feature warns you of the presence of potential road hazards by detecting signals from safety transmitting devices.

City Mode
The false-alert are often caused in urban areas by automatic door openers and alarm systems. The KAT500 features a City mode, in which the X band is not detected and K/Ka band sensitivity is lowered.

I have had 3 RMR units now 2 of which I still use. Let me tell you they have saved my back side several times. They work great and give you plenty of time to slow down before you reach the punch through zone. I have never gotten a speeding ticket since I started useing these jammers. The only reason I have bought 3 is bacause the radar types change. Our town just installed photo radar and my old one didn't pick it up this new one does.

This detector works great. Warning starts way before any visual can be seen. Some people say the sound is not adequate....it seems to fine with us. No problems so far.

I can't tell you how many tickets this has saved me from. When you drive a fast car and stand out of the normal cars, it's a great thing to have. The only down fall is trying to reach over to switch it to city mode so the automatic doors in stores doesn't set it off, so I just unplug it till it's time to hop back on the highway.
