Can other radio transmitters interfere with the radar?
Yes, in certain instances they can, but this is relatively rare. This can vary from one radar to another and is dependent upon the frequency of the radar and the strength of the signal source. Most modern radars have a built in “RF” (radio frequency) indicator which will automatically blank the radars readout screen during activation by a strong RF signal that exceeds a predetermined threshold level. Due to their higher power outputs, TV and commercial radio stations can cause interference at close range. Cell towers, ham radio repeaters, personal cell phones, wireless Internet and other devices are relatively low powered and arent likely to cause interference, even at very close range. If by chance they should, the radar will temporarily go blank and readings will not be possible. Radar manufacturers know their products are going to be used in a radio rich environment in a police vehicle so it stands to reason their radars will be specificailly designed to work in that type of environ
