What is POP Mode?
POP Mode is a feature that was introduced by MPH Industries in their latest radar guns, designed to defeat radar detectors. POP acquires a vehicle’s speed by sending out a quick burst of radar. This burst was so short that detectors available at the time of POP’s introduction did not alert to it, either due to a sweep rate that was too slow to detect it at all, or due to the short burst being filtered out as a false alert. Fortunately, many radar detector manufacturers have since added POP detection capability to their latest radar detectors. Radar guns that currently have the POP feature: MPH BEE 3 = 67ms, K or Ka-Band MPH Enforcer = 67ms, K or-Ka Band MPH Z25 = 16ms K-Band MPH Z35 = 16ms K-Band Many of the latest detectors can detect 67ms Ka-Band POP reasonably well. The operator’s manual for these guns cautions that “Information derived during the POP burst is non-evidential and to be used for advisory information only…citations should not be issued solely on information derived f
