Passport radar detectors include several features that can make them both easy and convenient to use. Various Passport models may include different features, and you can use eBay to find the product that has all the options you want. Some common features you should find on most Passport radars are listed here:

• Mute - Most Passport radar detectors can use various signals to make you aware of any radars in your area. You can put the radar on mute to cancel these alerts when necessary.
• Signal monitor - Your Passport radar can monitor the surrounding area for radar or laser activity. It can use this data to give you an indication of the signal strength of the equipment that might be tracking your speed.
• Mode changer - You can change from highway to city mode to avoid false positives on radar alerts.

Radars operate a bit like radio stations. They use particular bands or frequencies to send and receive signals that track you or the speed of your vehicle. You may be able to pick up radar signals on one band, but the equipment could be operating on other bands as well. If you are interested in picking up signals from a particular band, you can use eBay's categories to find devices that operate on the band of your choice. Many Passport radar detectors have multi-band support that can pick up different frequencies. You can use this option to switch between bands and identify the radar signals in your area. Some common bands include K, Ka, and X frequencies.

Your Escort radar detector may be able to give you different kinds of alerts depending on the model you choose. In some cases, you may wish to change the type of alert you receive to suit your circumstances. Two of the main types of alerts are:

• Audio - Your Escort radar will emit a sound to tell you when a wave is tracking you.
• Visual - Many of Escort's Passport models can provide visual information and data on a built-in screen.
