Escort Solo S2

Date Published: 3/23/04

Who hasn't gotten tangled in the wires running to or from a radar detector? Who has destroyed a leased vehicle trying to run wire to a radar detector to avoid a tangled, ugly mess? The Escort Solo S2 solves these problem, and rather effectively at that.

The Solo S2 is a wireless radar detector that runs on two AA batteries, which should last for a few months. Never fear--this radar detector can be programmed to shut off automatically when not in use. The Solo S2 warns against X-band, K-band, Superwide Ka-band, and laser. The Safety Warning System provides alerts to anything broadcasting in these formats in the area. The Solo S2 is undetectable to VG-2 systems, and a signal strength indicator helps determine the distance to the radar.

The Solo S2 has adjustable sensitivity for city or highway driving, and dimmer controls ensure the display is readable day or night. This is a terrific system if you use multiple cars at home, or travel a lot. With no unsightly wires, you'll make sure this unit goes on all of your road trips.
