How accurate is the Pocket Radar?

Pocket Radar can measure speed in four different units, miles per hour (MPH), kilometers per hour (KPH), meters per second (MPS), or feet per second (FPS). The accuracy is +/- 1 MPH, +/- 2 KPH, +/-1 MPS or +/- 2 FPS. Pocket Radar will only measure the relative speed of an object in the direction directly towards or away from the radar antenna. If you point the Pocket Radar (or any radar unit) at an object moving sideways instead of directly towards you or away from you, it will correctly read a very slow speed. This is because an object moving nearly at right angles to any radar only moves at a very slow relative speed towards or away from that radar. In order to make the most accurate speed measurement, you need to point the Pocket Radar antenna at a moving object and be as close to in line with the direction of motion of that object. Obviously, you need to stay safe when you use the Pocket Radar . Never put yourself or anyone else in a position to possibly be hit by a moving object.
