Main functions of Radenso XP The Radenso XP is a very powerful windshield mounted radar detectors. It's designed to protect the driver from speeding tickets/fines. The Radenso XP communicates with the driver in English by text and voice messages and its main functions are the detection of microwave radars (X / K / Ka bands), laser guns, red light cameras and fixed-speed cameras (GPS database). Notifications:
When a radar signal is detected, the driver will be alerted by a visual text warning and a voice/tone alert. The display and voice alert will indicate the detected radar band, frequency and signal strength. A beeping warning tone will increase its intensity with increasing signal strength. The signal strength has 9 levels. GPS alerts are reported by voice and text; for example "Speed Camera".
