RADAR is an essential tool for law enforcement agencies to promote public safety and uphold traffic laws. Kustom Signals offers two powerful RADAR systems designed for in-car use: the Eagle II and the Eagle 3. Both of these systems are engineered to provide exceptional accuracy, reliability, and ease of use, but each model offers unique features that may be better suited to different agency needs.
We’ve created this guide to help your agency decide between the Eagle II and the Eagle 3, so you can choose which one is the best fit for your department’s needs.
Eagle II: Advanced Performance with Reliability
The Eagle II is a top-tier RADAR system that has been trusted by law enforcement agencies for years. It offers excellent performance in various conditions, ensuring that officers can effectively enforce speed limits in both urban and rural environments.
Key Features of the Eagle II
- Dual RADAR Antennas – The Eagle II features one or two antennas that have great detection range. These antennas allow the system to track multiple vehicles at once, giving officers a better overall view of the traffic situation.
- Compact and Durable Design – The compact form factor of the Eagle II allows it to be easily installed and operated from inside a police vehicle. Its rugged construction ensures that it can withstand the demands of law enforcement environments.
- Versatile Detection Modes – The Eagle II offers both moving and stationary modes, making it a flexible tool for different traffic enforcement scenarios. Officers can monitor vehicles moving in both directions, including when their patrol car is in motion.
- Wide Range of Detection – With the Eagle II, officers can detect vehicles at speeds of up to 200 MPH, allowing for precise speed enforcement even in high-speed situations.
- User-Friendly Interface – The system is designed with ease of use in mind, offering clear and simple controls. Officers can quickly access critical data without being distracted from the road.
Why Choose the Eagle II?
The Eagle II is a solid choice for agencies that need a highly reliable and versatile RADAR system. Dual antenna technology and a range of options make it a great tool for general traffic enforcement in a variety of conditions. It is worth noting that this is already the incumbent RADAR at many agencies, so additional training should not be necessary.
If your department prioritizes reliability and ease of use in a system with a proven track record, the Eagle II is an excellent option.
Eagle 3: Enhanced Technology for Advanced Enforcement
The Eagle 3 takes the RADAR technology found in the Eagle II and enhances it with several advanced features to improve performance, ease of use, and versatility. With its innovative design, the Eagle 3 is perfect for police departments that need the latest in RADAR technology for more complex enforcement situations.
Key Features of the Eagle 3
- Advanced Signal Processing – The Eagle 3 uses superior signal processing technology, which provides clearer, more accurate readings and reduces the chances of interference from other sources. This allows for more precise speed measurements, even in congested traffic conditions, and provides the ability to pick up targets at a greater range.
- Dual Antenna with High Sensitivity – Like the Eagle II, the Eagle 3 uses a dual antenna system that provides a wide field of view. This antenna is optimized for high accuracy, enabling officers to track vehicles over longer distances. The Eagle 3 introduces Scan Mode, which enables both antennas to be active at the same time.
- Advanced Target Tracking – The Eagle 3 is equipped with advanced target tracking capabilities that make it easier for officers to distinguish between the target vehicle and other vehicles in the vicinity. DurakTrak™ target tracking bars increase officer confidence in target identification. Dual Antenna lock lets the officer lock speeds on both antennas better supporting target tracking from one antenna to the other. The Eagle 3 also features the patented QuikTrak™ one-button target tracking with lock defeats RADAR detectors.
- Enhanced Data Logging – The Eagle 3 includes advanced data logging features, allowing officers to capture and store detailed speed data for later review. This can be especially useful for generating reports or providing evidence in court. Data included fork test logs, self-test, locked target speeds, and GPS-marked locations.
Why Choose the Eagle 3?
The Eagle 3 is a great choice for agencies that require advanced RADAR technology for high-performance enforcement. It is ideal for situations where precision is key, such as in high-traffic areas or during complex speed enforcement operations, and offers features such as:
- Intuitive, easy to use for faster training
- Saves an average of one hour of installation – wired connection to VSS not required
- Better visibility, safer, especially at night, no need to divert attention from the road
- Automatic mode switching – no need for additional Wireless Speed Sense Module
If your department requires the advanced RADAR technology with enhanced data capabilities, the Eagle 3 may be a better option.
Eagle II vs. Eagle 3: Which Is Best for Your Agency?
