When the radar is on stand by the detector will not pick up the radar beam making it detector go off and alert you, Only when he hits the button to clock you will it go off and tell you hey theres a cop, and by then its to late hes already got you when he hit the button.

Driving this thread off topic but...
This roving radar, can they always be set to ON? Since I starting reading this thread and hooking the 'ol STI up. I noticed just how much activity is going on in my normal drive
. I usually drive 5-10 over which means a lot of right lane driving, so no need to really care about getting hit with either laser or radar. Anyways, today I went to the gas station down the road and when I came over the hill the STI screamed KA hit and I saw a state trooper SUV parked at Subway about 150 yards away, I swung in the parking lot and I noticed that the trooper was inside enjoying his lunch and the detector was screaming at me still. I remembered reading your post and thought I'd ask.
tl;dr Can roving radar be set to always on?
