Introduction
The JUGS PRO-SPORTS K-band radar was designed to measure the speed
of a wide variety of ball sports such as baseball, softball, soccer, tennis, and
cricket. It may also be used in a carnival or fundraising setting.
The JUGS PRO-SPORTS radar sends out very-high- frequency radio waves
and measures the change in the frequency after it bounces off a moving object.
This is commonly referred to as Doppler radar. This invisible radio wave is
extremely low power (about 1/200th of a watt) and is completely safe for close
and continuous operation.
The JUGS PRO-SPORTS radar is a true digital system. The JUGS PRO-
SPORTS radar converts the reflected microwave signals into a digital stream
of data. The gun’s own computer then processes this data stream using
sophisticated programming to interpret, filter, and measure the speeds. This
technology is closely related to the compact digital disc and modern personal
computers. This type of radar system has the potential to provide substantially
superior performance and accuracy over conventional radar systems.
While the technology in the JUGS PRO-SPORTS radar is extremely advanced,
its operation is quite simple. You need only to press the ON/OFF key and pull
the trigger to begin measuring ball release speed.

help you to take full advantage of the other features and capabilities of the
JUGS PRO-SPORTS radar.
