Decatur Genesis VersaPak Directional GVP-D Radar is a handheld, cordless
Radar Gun.
Decatur Genesis Versa Pak Directional Police Radar Gun can
isolate traffic in one direction.

Direction selectivity has always been a feature of
moving radar. As you know, in moving-mode (opposite direction), the
radar only shows the speed of on-coming traffic. Similarly, same-direction moving mode only shows vehicles travelling in the same direction as the patrol car. Now,
Decatur expands this direction selectivity to
stationary radar gun. Unlike previous
hand held radar guns, with
Decatur GVPD Direction Sensing Radar Gun the operator can selectively monitor traffic coming toward, moving away, or both directions simultaneously!
Decatur Genesis-VP Traffic Safety Radar Gun for the Police Force and Law Enforcement Agencies is a revolutionary new
cordless radar gun that gives you built-in quality, convenience, and top performance. Powered by two Black & Decker VersaPak rechargeable batteries,
Decatur Genesis-VP Directional Police Radar Gun gives you hours of performance on a single charge.
Decatur GVP-D Genesis VersaPak Directional Radar is ideal for motorcycles.
The balance and feel of
Decatur Genesis-VP Directional Sensing Radar Gun is superb! The handle, which is modeled after Black & Decker power drills, is made of high strength ABS plastic and uses a reliable locking device to hold the batteries securely in place.
Decatur Genesis VPD Police Traffic Radar features
K-Band Directional Antenna . The antenna itself is precision machined from solid aircraft aluminum.
Decatur Genesis VersaPak Directional Law Enforcement Traffic Radar GVP-D features rechargeable / interchangeable Ni-Cad batteries which are the same ones used in many of Black & Decker's power tools, household products and lawn and garden products. They are easy to use and last for hundreds of charges. Best of all, they are inexpensive and usually available locally.
Decatur Genesis VersaPak Directional Police Traffic Radar Gun gives you excellent distance range, quick target acquisition, and pinpoint accuracy.
Decatur Genesis VP-D Police Radar Gun is set-up to be used right out of the box. If you wish you can easily adjust sensitivity (distance range), squelch, audio volume, and back lighting using the "menu" and "select" buttons. To track the faster target with
Decatur GVP-D Speed Radar Gun, just press the FAST button.
For years
radar guns could display only the speed of the vehicle returning the strongest signal. Now
Decatur Genesis-VP Directional Hand Held Cordless Radar Gun GVPD lets you track and lock the speed of the vehicle with the strongest signal return or the speed of the faster moving vehicle.
Decatur Genesis VersaPak Directional - Direction Sensing Speed Radar Gun:
- When Decatur Genesis-VP Directional Radar Gun is in "directional" mode, vehicles moving toward you are indicated with a "t," vehicles moving away from you with an "A".
- Directionality dramatically enhances the target selection process. If Decatur Police Radar GVP-D is set to "towards" mode, it will only track vehicles coming towards the radar. Decatur Genesis Versa Pak Directional Radar Gun isolates traffic in one direction. All vehicles going "away" are ignored!!
- In heavy traffic situations, the operator can choose to make traffic moving in one direction "invisible" to Decatur Genesis VP Handheld Radar, thereby concentrating on the most problematic lane.
- In other radars, "same direction" capability is added to the software to give the operator capability to read traffic moving in either direction while in moving mode.Decatur GVP Directional Radar Gun gives the operator the option to easily select and focus on vehicles going away from or coming toward him/her from a single, stationary patrol position.
- The faster target feature is included and may be used simultaneously with directionality. Decatur Genesis VersaPak Directional Law Enforcement Radar Gun will identify the strongest target, and the next strongest target which is also going faster than the original target.
