POP Mode
How the POP Mode Works
The POP Mode is a feature of certain radars made by MPH Industries. Its
only purpose is to defeat radar detectors. It works by transmitting radar in a
short burst—only 67 milliseconds (that’s 0.067 seconds).
What You Should Know About POP Mode
It is inaccurate. In order to outfox detectors, MPH Industries has pushed the
technology outside the accepted principles of engineering. The company
admits as much when its Operation and Service Manual advises users as
follows:
“ A note of caution: Information derived during the POP burst is non-
evidential…Citations should not be issued based solely on information
derived from the POP burst.”
Nonetheless, POP Mode is a reality and it will be used at the discretion of
individual enforcers.
Valentine One Gen2 Has Full-Time POP Protection
There is nothing you must do to activate POP coverage. It’s built in, and
it operates full time. It covers POP on two bands—specifically the MPH
Industries models Bee III and Enforcer on both K and Ka.
What the “Dee-Dah-Doo” Tone Means
Valentine One Gen2 is designed to recognize—and ignore—phony POP
signals transmitted by poorly-designed detectors. Occasionally an alarm
will be initiated before verification is certain. If it’s then determined that the
source is a junk detector, it will notify you it is retracting that alert with a
“Dee-Dah-Doo” sound. A flashing J ( ) indicating “junk” will appear briefly
in the Bogey Counter.
