“Stealth” is a generic term used to describe any radar detector offering some type of VG-2 protection. This protection can take one of two forms. Detectors offering BEL’s VG-2 Guard simply emit an alert and then shut down in the presence of VG-2. On the other hand, units offering BEL’s Shadow Technology emit an alert, but continue to offer uninterrupted protection in the presence of VG-2. Shadow Technology does this by masking the oscillation frequency of the detector, which hides it from police VG-2.
