Genesis-II Directional™Features
The Genesis-II Directional™is a highly advanced traffic radar device
offering many advanced capabilities. It includes 32-bit digital
signal processing (DSP), a versatile detachable computer/display
unit, K-band Directional antennas, and an easy-to-use hand-held
remote control. It also features Faster Mode for detecting the
next strongest target going faster than the strongest in multiple
target situations.
Unlike conventional radars, the Genesis-II Directional is able to
determine which direction targets are moving. Directional
technology enables the radar to single out vehicles moving in one
specific direction, while ignoring vehicles moving in the other
direction. This capability makes stationary operation far more
effective and makes moving same lane mode very easy to operate.
The Genesis-II Directional digital signal processing provides instant
target acquisition and speed lock as well as more precise tracking
and speed measurement.
If space in your vehicle is at a premium, you will appreciate the
detachable computer/display unit. For more safety conscious
installation options, you can separate the pieces and mount them
wherever best meets your specific needs.
The hand-held remote controls all the functions. It features
convenient “eyes-off” raised buttons for use without taking your
eyes off the road. The remote control fits comfortably in the palm
of your hand, positioning all controls at your fingertips.
