POP is a technology that has only been implemented by MPH Industries. It was introduced on MPH's handheld radars in 1999, and it has also been incorporated into MPH's newest dash mounted radars. POP technology is aimed at an old problem - defeating radar detectors.

At the time of it's release, MPH's exclusive POP technology was the only radar technology that could measure a vehicle speed without setting off any radar detectors. This technology was made possible by MPH’s expertise in manufacturing microwave sources that can turn on and stabilize quickly and by digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. The radar can obtain a speed reading in milliseconds, which is far faster than an operator can operate a switch.

When the MPH radar is placed into POP mode, the radar emits a short burst of energy and quickly measures the vehicle's speed. The radar then goes immediately into standby and displays the obtained speed for a couple of seconds. The entire measurement happens so quickly that the NO radar detector could detect it with any accuracy.

Some competitors such as Valentine One, are claiming that POP radar is nothing to worry about, and legally police cannot write you a ticket when using POP radar. We think this is totally ridiculous. Since Valentine One cannot detect POP with any good accuracy, they have used this as a defense. If police departments are spending large sums of money to purchase and use POP radar guns, do you really think they will not write you a ticket if they catch you speeding with it? Of course they will.

Since the release of POP radar, newer detectors such as the Escort X50 &* Bel RX65 have shown that POP radar can be defeated with near 100% accuracy!
