Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Speeding Story

[clyde romero (clyderomero]

Total BS most traffic radars don't have the signal strength to effect the
RHAW gear on modern fighters and they have blanking circuits to eliminate
spurious signals to prevent false displays

Read the snopes article.  The type of radar (directional doppler) used  
to measure speed - and open doors at the local strip mall - is very  
different from the type of radar used in military applications.   
Neither a pilot nor the electronics in his plane would be likely to  
mistake one for another.
