The car brand Sho-Me needs no introduction. Under the wing of this Chinese company, auto electronics for the most diverse purposes are produced, including radar detectors.

Long detection range

Model 520 STR from a strong middle class of catchers of high-speed traps "with a bang" recognizes lasers, low-power radars in all used ranges and signals of the Strelka complex along with its derivatives, providing a detection range of police ambushes at a distance of up to 1200 m. To filter interference in the urban rhythm of movement, the device assets have a two-level "City" mode. When traveling on the highway, the driver has the right to activate the mode of the same name with increased sensitivity.

Protection against VG-2

Such devices are used on the roads of countries where speedometer detection devices are illegal. You can take Sho-Me 520 STR with you on foreign trips, but you need to use the radar detector wisely so as not to have problems with the “letter of the law”.

Nuances of operation

The "carcass" of the radar detector is attached to the windscreen on suction cups. With intense temperature changes (for example, in the winter season), they sometimes peel off from the windscreen and the device goes on an uncontrolled "flight" through the car's interior. Among other nuances, it is worth noting the sharp reaction of the device to gas stations, which is explained by the operation of sensors for gas station sliding doors in the K-band. To finish the story about the model in a positive way, the functions of voice notification, LED brightness adjustment and memory of preset settings help.
