:copied from a labusas board poster:
This is for all you techies that have a V-1 detector! I think it sounds pretty cool!
"At a gas station today I happened upon a guy riding one of those checkered taxi cab BMW bikes. He was decked ouy in the latest gear and clothing.
I noticed he had a V-1 and mentioned to him that I also ride with one. He went on to tell me about his new invention.
He designs and manufactures wireless temperature gauges that detect how hot the air is inside a hot air ballon. The sensor goes up inside the ballon and the gauge sits in the basket.
His invention for the V-1 works on the same principle as that. In his helmet he had a tiny piezo (sp?) speaker attached to a transmitter and a small rechargable battery. Under the rear seat was the reciever/sending unit that plugged into the V-1 and into the bikes wiring harness (for its power).
He let me try on his Arai RX7-RR3 and he powered up the V-1. It was awesome! I moved about 30 feet away from the bike and still got the beeps from the V-1! The unit has a variable volume control and best of all you can differentiate between radar bands such as X-Y and laser. No one hears it except you! No flashing lights or loud beeping speakers for the world to hear. he said he has the patent on it.
Finally someone did it!
It is not exactly cheap but I'm getting one! 100 units will be available on 9/01/00. Roughly 50 are spoken for so far according to the maker."
